Day 7-8-9
These days I'm focus on muting technique , and meet another tricky thing .
· How to switch chords motion is very small , and smooth?
In Guitar 1
1st ~ 3rd bar , these chords with D string notes ,Like E -F - E- F, this part really test 2 & 3 finger's change .And in 1st bar second chord ' F A C' need 2nd finger to play G string A note , the switch process is not easy for me .Except 2&3 fingers , In these chords , B string C note need use 1st finger to play until third beat chords ‘F G B ' , 1st finger will left ! Tricky thing is really test finger!
Then I decided to watch the lesson hopping to find something can help.
And very happy , I find the left hand thumb position is really important , thumb position can change that can better stretching finger or more relax , that's can make chords play more smooth !
Another idea is , only very slow can do it . so lucky , chromatic scale is help me again , the idea is : very quick use palm to touch string will make noise , but slow can more lightly , then no noise . This lesson teach me 'Slow' to do , unexpected things will happen .
· Muting part
New situation is , play D string E note , 1st string will ringing ( find from guitar 18th bar 1st beat note E)
So when play note & chord and they have D string E note , should use finger to muting top string while playing.
There are some different method to muting , so happy to find this!
I use pencil mark the note and chord with different symbol :
Circle : Finger lightly touch muting
In Guitar 2 :
1bar 1st beat note C ; 2 bar 3rd beat note F ; 14 bar 1st beat note B.
Triangle: can be muted when play the next note is played ( use next note finger)
In Guitar2 :
2bar 1st beat G note
Have questions ! In Guitar 2 , 8th bar ,second beat G note , about this note mute , should I use next note C 3rd finger to mute?
wave line : use thumb muting , and the palm need floating on the string .
Ps: Remember really slow to do!
In guitar 2 : the 8th bar 3rd beat note C in 5th string
In guitar 1 : the 4th bar chord 'C E G’
· Guitar1 , 16th bar's first and second beat muting technique
In this part , I think I really need slowly to do ,and remember just try a few times .
