When it comes to the three most important fingerings in the process of playing the guzheng, it must be "Gou Motuo". These three fingerings are also the skills that must be firmly mastered in the process of learning the guzheng.

If you follow the teacher to learn the guzheng, then you must know these three fingerings by heart; if you are learning the guzheng by yourself on the Internet and have not carried out systematic training, it is very likely to appear without any guidance. In the case of non-standard fingering, you may not find the problem at the moment, but when you advance, these small problems have become your habit, and it will be very difficult to correct them at that time!

Next, let's take a good look at the basic fingerings of the three guzheng "Gou Motuo"!

1. Symbols and the use of fingers

The "tick" symbol is ︵, which is played with the middle finger.

The symbol for "wipe" is , and it is played with the index finger.

The symbol for "too" is to use the big finger when playing.

Second, the method and operation

Hook: Using the middle finger, the fake nails are attached to the strings and the finger joints can be gently plucked (the direction of plucking is parallel to the strings), so that a very wonderful tone can be produced.

Wipe: Use the index finger, the fingering is exactly the same as the hook, the angle is the same, the fake nail is close to the strings, and the finger joints are gently plucked.

Support: directly play the position of the false nail on the side of the big finger to appear. When playing, you need to adjust the playing angle of the big finger, so that the false nail of the big finger is attached to the string before appearing.

Pay attention to the angle of the touch string when "hooking and brushing", and be sure to touch the string horizontally when using false nails! Moreover, when the strings are in contact with the tape, noise is easy to occur, so be sure to let the false nails fully contact the strings when playing; do not move too much when touching the strings, just short and powerful.

Third, the point of strength

When using basic fingering, the force of the fingers should be concentrated on the finger joints. Some friends like to use the wrist or the upper arm and forearm to exert force. Although the sound of such force is very loud, it is not easy to play some fast. In rhythm tracks, it is easy to fall off the beat. Therefore, we use the finger joints as the force point of "Gomoto", the swing range is small, and the speed of playing will naturally increase.

4. Playing position and status

Playing position: It is better to play in the center of the performance area. If it is too close to the front beam, the sound will be very sharp and thin. If it is to the left, the sound will be soft. The disadvantage is that the strings are too soft, which is not conducive to our daily practice. .

When playing the piano, we must keep the whole body in a relaxed state. The correct hand shape is the most correct shape of the palm when our arms are drooping when we are relaxed.

Don't play for the sake of playing, the most important thing when playing the guzheng is to keep the whole body relaxed, don't hold your shoulders, don't bow your head, and be naturally relaxed and elegant!

How about, isn't the fingering technique of "Gou Motuo" very simple and easy to master? In fact, learning the guzheng is really simple, as long as you work hard, you will be the next guzheng master!
