Hope after today... u all ppl got a recap of wad 3 weeks ago i taught... now mst is already over...so no more excuses saying no time to practice.... so let me stress it again over here wad to take note of....
Lesson 4
Actually only 2 basic points...
- Try to master the basic notations
- Get yourself familiarize with chords
Cause these 2 points are the most core basic of music and guitar.... Don't worry... you all wouldn't be sticking with cupid love for long.... If possible I will give I all the score for "beauty and the beast" by Disney next lesson..... That score's difficulty is something like cupid love.... Hope you all will look forward to coming the next lesson...
Today I've taught a bit about strumming and it's rhythm playing....
Refer to the 2 pictures on how u are suppose to place your thumb on your index finger...
Fig.1 shows the joint the thumb should be placing....
Fig.2 This is how the thumb will be place...When you start strumming down stroke... Use your index finger's nail to stroke downwards from bass strings to treble strings... (make sure u stroke all the six strings....) Up stroke you will use the flashy front tip of your index finger from treble e string to the G string.... That's only 3 strings for you.... (Abit hard to describe here.... dun worry i will teach again in the next lesson... for now u all can enjoy my sexy hand... hahah...)
To train on the rhythm of the right hand.... We'll use the E chord to play...
Fig. 3 shows how you should be holding an E chord....
Fig. 4 This is the 2nd position of the "E" chord.
Fig. 5 This is the 3rd position of the "E" chord.
After the 3rd position you will repeat from the normal E chord position.
With these E chord positions, you can learn all the world's strumming rhythm. Isn't that just great....
The next lesson will be on next Friday (11th july).... For those of you having problems pls inform ur mentors early so we can make arrangements...
