Overtone techniques for electric guitar and how to strengthen them

The overall feeling of overtones is a problem with the feeling of the hand, and there are not too many skills, and more practice is true! Turn on the metronome, the personal situation depends on yourself, try to make each timbre very full and round, and then go to improve the speed, that is, first practice the feel and then the speed, starting from the 12th fret, where the overtones are easier to talk about and then slowly go to the low position.

Listening to natural overtones: After tuning, you can use the natural overtones method to calibrate more precisely. The principle is:

The twelfth fret natural overtones of the guitar should be the same as the open string notes. If the pitch is the same, the tuning is accurate, otherwise the string is inaccurate, and it must be adjusted.

Use the tuning device, the number represents the string, corresponding to 1 e, 2 b, 3 g, 4 d, 5 a, 6 e,, the letters are the standard notes representing the guitar strings, all are empty strings, pluck the guitar strings that need to be tuned when tuning, and the tuner will be displayed on the corresponding letters.

His usual tuning method is to calibrate the pitch of the six strings according to the musical tones in the musical system as string 1 e (bass e), string a, string 1 d, one g, string 1 b, string 1 e (height e), that is, the 3 ( sol (si (mi) of the C key of the short score is formed between the strings.

The relationship between the intervals of the third and fourth.

When the strings are tuned according to the above requirements, the notes are naturally arranged on the frets.

1 string 7-fret overtone - 2-string 5-fret overtone, 1-string 5-fret pressed actual pitch - 4-string 7-overtone, 4-string 5-fret overtone --3-string 7-fret overtone, 4-string 7-fret overtone --5-string 5-fret overtone, 5-string 7-fret overtone --6-string 5-fret overtone.

Tune the 1st string first and follow the instructions below:

Six-string 5-fret overtones - Five-string 7-fret overtones are consistent.

Five-string 5-fret overtones - four-string 7-fret harmonics.

Fourth-string 5-fret overtones-three-string 7-fret overtones are consistent.

Three-string 4-fret overtones - two-string 5-fret overtones are consistent.

The 2nd string 5-fret overtone - the 1st string 7-fret overtone is consistent.

Others: "Resonance method" tuning--- after determining the pitch of any string with a timpani, adjust the other strings according to the pitch relationship of each string (6 strings 5 frets = 5 strings 0 frets, 5 strings 5 frets = 4 strings 0 frets, 4 strings 5 frets = 3 strings 0 frets, 3 strings 4 frets = 2 strings 0 frets, 2 strings 5 frets = 1 string 0 frets). The pitch difference between the two strings is very large, and you can hear it with your ears, and when the difference is very close, you can see if it resonates.

This method of tuning has a disadvantage--- because when you tune the string, the whole string is stressed and not straight. In this case, even if you press it down, you will not be able to release it.

Natural overtones.

First of all, find the position where the 12th fret is most obvious to play, gently place the tip of your left finger on the string above the 12th fret, and the moment the right hand is played, the left hand quickly leaves the string, and the overtone will be produced.

There are two things to note here:

1. The fingertips should be placed on the strings above the 12-fret fret, not the string at the 12th;

2. Gently place it on the strings, do not press on the strings.

Similarly, we can play at the frets of the 7th, 5th, and 4th frets, and here we can hear that the overtones at the 12th fret are the fullest, and the higher the forward, and the weaker the overtones.

Artificial overtones. The way to play is to press any non-empty string note on the guitar with the left hand, and press the index finger of the right hand on the 12th fret after the left finger is the actual number of frets, and play with the ring finger. For example, if you hold down the 2nd fret with your left hand and count backwards to the 12th fret, you will play the overtones at the 14th fret.

By analogy, it can be understood that the left hand is equivalent to 1 fret after pressing the real position, because it is necessary to play the overtones at the 12th fret, which is the original 14th fret. It should be noted here that when plucking the string with the ring finger of the right hand, it will be easier to play as far away from the overtone point as possible.

The natural overtones are noticeable in the 12th fret. It's a light touch. Most of the other frets are made with artificial overtones, and some guitars are of better quality and can hear the sound of eight or five frets.

It's not pressed on it, it's plucked at the same time, and the strings are struck, and it comes out after a lot of trying, and you're tuned in harmonic tones.

Natural overtones generally pop over 5, 7, and 12 frets.

Slightly lightly on the string (virtual press), that is, you have to gently put your belly on it, and when you play, you have to feel the vibration of the string, and you have to imagine that this vibration has a lot of force, and suddenly shakes your hand away. After plucking the strings with the right hand (almost at the same time), the left hand is immediately released, and the sound comes out.

Natural overtones.

The 4th, 5th, 7th, and 12th frets of overtones are very good, and when playing, pay attention to them, first put your left hand on the frets of the overtones to be played (this is not absolute), sometimes a little bit of sound is better. Then pluck the strings, immediately after plucking the part of the left hand to protect, so that the natural overtones come out, remember, the overtones are plucked out, not hooked out, do not exert too much force.

The overtones in the city in the sky belong to the natural overtones 5,7,10,12 frets can be used for natural overtones when not clamping the capos, and the method of playing is to press the fingers of the left hand lightly on the fret, do not press tightly, and the left hand must be released immediately after the right hand hooks the string, and the overtones can be popped.

If you practice more, you'll soon be able to get started.

Natural overtones Touch the string with your left finger just above the fret, the lighter the better, except for the scholar, you can play the string vigorously with your right hand (bridge), and you can leave immediately after playing the left hand to hear the loud overtones, do what I say, and it's OK.

The structure of an electric guitar is divided into three parts: headstock (knobs, locks), neck (fretboard, frets, frets), and body (pickups, vibrato system, crank, pitch trimmer, volume controller, tone controller, and audio file). Electric guitars rely on electromagnetic induction to produce sound. The body of the electric guitar is embedded with pickups (generally there are several types of double double, double single and double, single and single, and the pickups are made of metal old bench coils wound on magnets, and the specific workmanship is very fine.

Pluck the strings, the strings vibrate and cut the magnetic inductance lines to generate an electric current, which is transmitted to the speaker through the internal wiring of the body and the guitar connection cable to produce sound. You can open the lid on the back of the electric guitar body to take a look.

Regarding natural overtones, natural overtones are: 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, etc. The left finger is gently pressed on the rear fret, and the right finger plucks the string with appropriate force, and the left finger immediately leaves the string as soon as the string is pressed, making a musical sound that feels very empty.

Five-pin, seven-pin, nine-pin, and twelve-fret are all natural overtones, just start practicing the twelve-grade pan-rock sound, the twelve-fret is easier to pop up, the coarse cong feng method, the left finger touches (do not press is a light touch) The strings directly above the twelve-fret column are slippery, and the right hand plucks the corresponding strings at the same time and the left finger leaves immediately, there will be a sound similar to a bell, which is the overtone.
