Ask a guitar tabs question, questions about guitar tabs

<> you look at the above picture while listening to my explanation (I am analyzing the explanation from a mathematical point of view, which is easier to understand).

Before solving your problem, first you need to understand that this is a 4 4 beat tune (a small bar of 4 beats).

Question: Look at the red circle, the note here belongs to the "one-eighth" note, so this is the "one-eighth dotted note", that is to say, this note occupies (1 8) + (1 2) x (1 8) = 3 16 of the number of beats of a small bar, and this piece is a small bar 4 beats, so the "one-eighth dotted note" at the "red circle" occupies a beat of the fraction of (3 16) x4 = 3 4, that is, it occupies 3 4 of a beat, when playing, the duration of this note is 3 4 of a beat; Next, if you look at the notes in the yellow circle, is there a black "little tail"? So, that note is a "one-sixteenth" note, and in the same way, (1 16) x4 = 1 4, i.e., it occupies 1 4 of a beat, and when played, the duration of this note is 1 4 of a beat (adding exactly 1 to the 3 4 circled in front of it proves that the calculation is correct).

Question: Look at the yellow circle, where there are three identical "one-sixteenth" notes in one beat (commonly known as "one beat triplet"), so when each of the three notes accounts for 1 3 of a beat (the sum of the three notes is exactly 1, it proves that the calculation is correct), and the duration of each note here is 1 3 of one beat.

Question: Look at the blue circle, the note here does not have any dots or "little tail", this note is the "eighth note", the same way, (1 8) x4 = 1 2, that is, it occupies 1 2 of a beat, two "eighth" notes are connected (1 2 + 1 2 = 1), in a 4 4 beat piece, it is exactly the duration of one beat, and when playing, each note here lasts half of a beat (half a beat).

To summarize the difference: one "horizontal line" in the score you give indicates that two "eighth notes" are connected, two "horizontal lines" indicate two "sixteenth notes" connected, while a dotted note means that the original normal note is "extended" by 1 2 of the normal note, and the black "little tail" represents a "sixteenth" note.

<> 2/3 of the full bomb and 1/3 of the back play

This is 1/3 each, and it can also be called a triplet.

Half a beat for the full and back and half a beat for the middle.

This rhythm is a bit complicated, there are triplets, syncopations, let's master the triplet and syncopated rhythms separately first.

If you don't understand, don't give random examples

In general, it is unlikely that it will occur (1=c, 1=d).

Selection: 1=c; Original key: 1=d

means. The original piece is in D major, and now the score is played in C major, and if you just play according to the score, it will be played in C major.

So, there will be a copo 2, meaning that the capo is sandwiched between the 2 frets.

This is the same D major as the original.

Why?

Because C is easy to play on the guitar, D is a little more difficult, so many songs are converted to C to play.

Why add it to 2 frets?

Because C and D major are one major second, they are one whole tone, so they have to be raised by two by clips.

You can also think of it as a minor seventh that you can lower the strings by 6 whole tones, but no one does?!!

If, it is selective: 1=d; Original key: 1=d

The instructions are arranged according to the original song, you can just play it, and it is exactly the same as the key of the original song.

1=D to E indicates that the song has changed in the song, initially in D major, and later in E major.

Composers often like to write like this, with a little more variation.

The song is good.

1=c means that the single height of 1 in this song is c, and the key: 1=c; Original key: 1=d, which means that the 1 pitch of the original score is d, and the current arrangement of 1 pitch is c

If you want to play, just play it directly on the score, if you don't have difficulty singing the key of D, you can use the capo clip to clip it on the 2nd fret, and then when you play it on the score, it will become the 1 d of the original score.

And 1=D to E means that the key of C was used at first, and then it was moved on to the key of E.

Hello lz!

Let me give you a quick rundown: The staff is made up of two parts: the chord diagram (the small box at the top of the six lines) and the staff of the six lines!

Chord Diagram: A diagram showing the fingering and position of the chord pressed by the left hand! The horizontal lines of this diagram represent the 1st fret, 2nd fret and 3rd frets of the guitar from top ......to bottom(1 grade per row); The 6 vertical lines from right to left represent the 1 to 6 strings of the guitar, the numbers 1 to 5 on the vertical line represent the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, and thumb of the left hand, and the English letters above the chord diagram indicate the type of chord fingering!

Some chords have a "1" on them, which means that several strings covered by " " should be completely pressed by the index finger, this technique is called "big horizontal press"!

Six-line notation: A notation that visually records the strings and frets of the notes played on the guitar fretboard with numbers and six lines! It represents the 1st to 6th strings of the guitar from top to bottom, the number on the line represents the number of frets of the string (for example, there is a number 3 on the top line, which means that the 3rd fret of a string is played), 0 means "no fret" that means the empty string, and if it is a cross, it means that the string on which the fork is played directly (similar to the empty string).

And if it's an arrow up and down, it means "strumming": the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of strumming! The upward arrow in the guitar tabs indicates:

Sweep from 6 strings to 1 strings; The downward indication in the score: sweep from 1 string to 6 strings! It's the opposite of what is in the spectrum and what is actually scanned!

The arrows "sweep" which strings are covered on the staff.

The specific way to play it on the guitar is to rely on the right hand: after the left hand presses the chord, the thumb and index finger of the right hand cross into a figure of "ten" (the intersection point is the first joint of the index finger), and the rest of the fingers are naturally bent (note: the thumb and index finger should not be tightly pinched together, so as not to affect the flexibility of the strumming action)!

The index finger is responsible for sweeping in the direction of the 1st string, and the thumb is responsible for sweeping in the direction of the 6th string (the touch part of the thumb is the place where the nail 1 3 is left to the left; 1 2 places on the right side of the index finger).

And in the process of strumming the string, the wrist joint should be the axis, and the wrist must be elastic (similar to the action of a fan).

A lot of crosses lined up in a row really mean to play together!

We hope it helps!

That's a strum, and it's just brushing it from top to bottom with a pick or just with a fingernail, and it's cool.

However, if you are a beginner, there are a lot of big horizontal presses in red beans, which is more difficult.

Circles are empty strings.

X is to play that string, a lot of together, is to play together. But you have to distinguish it from the sweep, the arrow is up, from 6 strings to 1 string, down the opposite thanks.

Why don't I see that inside the circle is an 8? It should be s!

s=slur, the meaning of portamento (sliding string), is to slide from the first fret he wrote above to the second fret, such as 7 (s) 9 is the 7th fret of that string after playing directly to the 9th fret, 9 fret does not need to be played.

p=pull, pull, hook meaning, after playing the specified tone, directly hook the string with your fingers and let go, you can get this sound, such as 9 (p) 7, first put one finger (assumed to be the index finger) in the position of the 7th fret, and the other (ring finger) in the position of the 9th fret, after playing, directly hook the ring finger and let go, the index finger is still left in the 7th fret, you can get this sound.

h=hammer, the meaning of mallet hitting, after playing the specified sound, directly hit the specified fret with the finger mallet, such as; 7（h）9

This sound can be obtained by placing one finger (assuming the index finger first) at the 7-fret position, and then quickly hitting the 9-fret position with the other (ring finger) with the other (ring finger).

It should be clear, but if you have any questions, ask me.

That's not 8, it's s.

P, H, and S represent hooking, striking, and sliding strings, respectively, which are basic skills and must be practiced.

This is the first position of the white guitar chromatic scale practice score du, for the five-line staff and six-line zhi score contrast, the above row is the treble staff of the five-line special score, genus.

Below are the six lines, the tab staff, and the Arabic numerals at the bottom are the simple staff.

The Arabic numerals on the staff refer to the fret, which is the fret of the first string in the first measure and the frets of the sixth string in the sixth measure. That is, the position of the left hand to press the strings, you can use the fingers of the left hand, that is, the index finger (1), the middle finger (2), the ring finger (3), and the little finger (4) to press the strings.

The English capital letter in the middle refers to the right finger method, which means the following on the six-line staff: T: right thumb, I: right index finger, M: right middle finger, A: right ring finger.

The first exercise: the left hand marches according to the chromatic scale of the strings, and the right hand plays the first string alternately with m and i, that is, the middle finger and index finger alternately;

The second exercise: the left hand marches on the chromatic scale, and the right hand plays the string with i and m alternately, that is, the index finger and middle finger alternately, which is the opposite of the first one;

The third exercise: the left hand marches on the chromatic scale, and the right hand plays the first string with the t and i alternately, that is, the thumb and index finger alternately.

At the end of the score, there is also a practice of plucking the strings with the picks with the right hand, facing the direction of your body upwards and leaving your body to pluck the strings downward.

The staff is intuitive, indicating the position of the left hand to press the strings, which can make it easy for people who don't understand the staff to learn the guitar.

Writing chord names without fingering is not a problem. For guitar enthusiasts, basic chords are a must to memorize.

The number is the number of strings to be played. The fork is actually an omitted notation, so you don't need to write a few frets (because the chord diagram already says a few frets).

Therefore, when you encounter a number, you play the tone of the number, and when you cross a fork, you play the chord.

The last chord you said was the chord that changed the root note. For example, c d, it is a c chord, but the root note is not the original c but d.

If you are proficient, you don't need to look at the chord diagram, it is enough to have a chord name, such as g, f. The number on the string is the chord voiceover. If the number is a few products, press the number of products.

It's better to take a screenshot! The number is to tell you how many strings and how many frets you can write x is the same There is also a way to tell you 1 is do 2 is re and so on You have to go to the scale sheet music to find out the tune and how to press I don't know what kind of number you are talking about c d is the meaning of c and d is this one and the melody expresses c and d two and d and d l f is the same is the following press d and the spin and then the thumb and then press the 6 strings and two frets on your own press to listen to the effect!

That is, according to the chord progression, the two bars should be these two chords, but it is not possible to only play the chords during the performance, so the melody is added. If you see a number, ignore the chord above the music and play the number. c d is the measure that plays c and then d, and a measure consists of two chords.

I'm here to answer each of your questions, and I like this simple and practical question the most, and I don't know how to do it when it's hard.

The last one is usually a sweep of the upper part, which is a sweep of 456 strings, or 56 strings, and the sound is low.

The small arc above is two notes connected into a beat, the front one is played, the front note is kept ringing, and the back one is the same as him, so there is no need to play, keep the front note ringing until the back note should also end, and then end together.

I don't know the one you are referring to? Those two arrows can't be combined, people let you talk about it, how to play, if you are talking about which word to sing? That meaning is simplified into a bit, people write it from the perspective of time value distribution, this is a common method, in fact, the meaning is what you understand, and singing is to simplify it into a bit.

The first half is to sweep the upper part, and the big arc and a small arc at the back have the same meaning, don't be fascinated by the size, they are all merged, and the second case I talked about.

This is a bit of a small technical ratio, the point in front of it is the meaning of the floating-point note, he is the meaning of extending the sound in front of him by half, for example, here, the first arrow is an 8th note, plus half of his, it is the time value of the eighth note + 16th note, and the arrow behind the head was originally an eighth note, in order to make up for the 16th note taken up in front, he separated a 16th note of time, and he became a 16th note. They add up to one beat (one quarter note), and no matter what uneven distribution occurs internally, it is important to ensure that the overall time value is not affected. The second point is the meaning of syncopation, that is, as soon as it is played, the sound should be heard immediately, giving people a feeling of stopping after brushing.

This is marked on a strumming string is the sweeping cut, and the sound must be stopped just after the sweeping. This is a special term, there are special exercises, it is very troublesome to explain here, you can learn how to practice sweeping and cutting separately in a book or online.

Thank you! Good luck with your Blue Lotus studies!
