What is the role of a pitch changer for guitars? What about guitar tuner use?

Clamp the capo clip in a different fret, but still keep the original fingering. You can do the pitch change. For example, you have now mastered the common chords in the key of C.

Then a song needs to be in the key of D to be the original key, and you have chords that are limited to the key of C (for example, you are not familiar with the common chords in the key of D, and you can't accurately deduce the corresponding fingering in the key of D). Or if the song is in C but not for you, you need to sing D), then you will clip the capo clip on the second slot of the guitar and still use C fingering, then the absolute pitch of the strings will be D key. So the capo is a great invention

The original purpose of the capo is to adjust the tone of the guitar, and it is a commonly used auxiliary tool in folk guitar playing, which can be used to increase the corresponding interval of the tune when transposing, so that it can be coordinated with the singer's voice, and the original fingering method is used to play, which greatly reduces the difficulty of transposing. Today, it is widely used for flamenco, classical and folk guitars. When used in solo repertoire, the capo clip is often placed between the first and fourth frets, with the second fret being placed at the highest frequency.

The use of higher than the fourth fret is basically only found in accompaniment.

Capo Principle:

A capo is all about raising the tone of the guitar. To put it simply, the capo clip is treated as an empty fret, and the chord is kept in order, but the pitch is raised. Pressing at the 1st fret is the key of C, and when you press the C chord, it is the C chord.

Clamp on the 2nd fret and press the C chord, you press the C chord when you press the D chord.

AM's finger shape remains the same, and it is still pressed, if you clamp the capo clip on 1 product, the AM you press is down B.

Its role is that for example, when you play the key of C, there will be a lot of horizontal presses, and you can use the capo clip to make it easier to play.

How to use: It can be simply understood that the capo clip changes the position of the guitar's upper string pillow to achieve the purpose of transposing. Theoretically, capos can only be raised, not down.

If C is turned to D, you can clip the second fret in the capo clip and still play it with C key fingering. But in practical application, as long as you change your thinking, you can downgrade. For example, if C turns G below, you can clip the capo clip to the seventh fret, play it with C key fingering, and sing it with G key one octave lower when singing.

However, when playing and singing, the capo clip should not be clamped to more than five frets.

You don't have to push the chords so much when transposing.

Basic understanding: Let's talk a little bit Before tuning, Bian Xiao first explained the sound names of the guitar strings 1-6 corresponding to the tuner, and displayed them with **, so that we will understand more easily. The guitar has six strings, which correspond to the sound name ebgdae.

They range from thin to thick. With an equal sign, it means 1-6 strings = thin - > thick = ebgdae. When using a tuner, it is common to tune with open strings.

In the case of standard tone, the tuner's screen is green, and the tuner's screen shows the name of the tone, so the height of the name must be very clear.

Tuner Back: When we get a tuner, let's see if there is a battery inside. If there is, we turn it on, press mode for seconds, switch to the tuning screen and see what the screen represents.

A4 specification: It can be adjusted from 430Hz to 450Hz. Generally I use 440hz).

In front of the tuner: Alright, it's time to see the screen we have open. Usually when we open it, it's orange, so in order to be straight, I chose a green one. Here's what it should be: This should be self-explanatory

Placement of the tuner: We all know the previous words. The guitar has 1-6 strings and their characteristics and corresponding sound names, and we also know the basic functions of a tuner.

We set the tuner to 440Hz (using A4 on the back of the tuner) and set the calibration item to G (using the short press mode on the back of the tuner). Now, just clip the tuner to the guitar head and start tuning.

Generally, it is best to start tuning with the 6 strings first, because the tension of the 6 strings is the largest, so the neck will not change much after the 6 strings are aligned; If you tune the first string, you will find that after tuning the first string in the order of 1-6, and then return to the first string, the pitch will be lower. (6-1 strings, open string tone) eadgbe, play the strings in order, tune the knobs. Note:

The pointer is loose on the left string, the pointer is tight on the right, and the middle of the pointer turns green to indicate alignment.

ok。I'll teach you, first connect the device, clip the end of the clip on the headstock, the second step, open the tuning table, and the left side shows 440This means the frequency response of the standard key, this can be ignored, we look at the pointer, when the thinnest string is tuned, that is, when the 1st string is tuned, 1e will be displayed on the screen, at this time, if the display is red, it means that the pitch is up, the green is just right, and the light yellow is low, that is, the pointer is placed in the middle is accurate, OK, we use this method to tune other strings.

The order is: 1e

2b 3g4d 5a

6e, and you're done!

The steps to tune a guitar with a tuner are as follows:

Material preparation: guitar, tuner.

1. Clamp the pickup clip, generally on the headstock of the guitar, because it is relatively stable here, pay attention to the clamp must be clamped well.

2. Start tuning from the first string of the guitar, first pluck the 1st string empty string, its tone name is e, if the screen shows 1e, it means that the pitch is already within the pitch range of 1 string.

At this time, you can look at the pointer indicated on the screen, biased to the left means that the tone is lower, biased to the right means that the pitch is high, if the last pointer is displayed in the middle position, the screen is green (or shows a green light), then the tone is aligned.

3. If the tone is low, turn the corresponding knob on the tuner counterclockwise tightly, pay attention to slowly twist until the pointer is displayed in the middle, and the green light can be on.

Guitar tuning tricks:

1. Listen to the beat.

If the sound is like a wave, that is, there is a beat, then it means that one of the strings is definitely inaccurate and needs to be adjusted again.

Because if the frequency of the two tone elimination rulers is exactly the same, after the two tones are combined, the amplitude superposition of the sound waves is completely harmonious, and there will be no beats. Only when there is a difference in frequency, will there be staggered superposition, and there will be a phenomenon of uneven strength and weakness.

2. Tune the strings with a six-tone flute.

It is one of the easiest ways for beginners, the six-tone flute is specially designed for guitar tuning, and its six tones and the six strings of the guitar are one-to-one correspondence in pitch and arrangement, so the tuning is very simple, just blow a flute, remember its pitch, and adjust the pitch of the corresponding string to be the same.

3. Look at the strings and fights.

Find the position of the open note of the next string you want to tune on a string that has already been tuned, play it, keep it sounding, and then tune the open string until it resonates.

Further, you can carefully observe the resonance: if the string is vibrating, decaying quickly, and vibrating again, it means that there is a beat note, which is not yet very accurate; If it slowly decays with the original sound, it means that the two tones are very consistent and the tuning is very accurate.
