About learning guitar, a little immature advice from a middle-aged person.

As you can imagine, this is a continuation of Wei Xiaodi's last fitness suggestion. The neat phalanx of middle-aged and elderly people always exudes joy and sadness.

Now, it is very different from the situation when the spring breeze of the Third Plenary Session just started more than 30 years ago. At that time, the child holding the guitar called, which is translated.

Now, a boy who calls himself a young man of literature and art, or a middle-aged man who pretends to be a boy, not only tells what he said, but also how the deconstruction philosophy system, classical music in the romantic period and Venetian school have shaped his life track that is difficult to define clearly. If he meets a small guitar again, he can barely play a song "Girls of the South" and lead a group of fans to the peak of that kind of pleasure.

Of course, the evolution of public opinion is not so rapid. Even in the eyes of Wen Qing Group, playing guitar is somewhat, when outsiders ask:

You like music. Do you know any musical instruments?

This ... knows a little about guitar. ...

It's still a little awkward.

About motivation

Nothing affects the overall situation. Under the visual impact of various music talent shows, more and more people begin to learn guitar, spanning all ages. Like me, an amateur who has been neglected for many years, I will also receive the impulse to learn piano and various consultations expressed by more than three friends every year.

Without being persecuted by all kinds of monsters, the motivation to actively learn any craft is one of envy, jealousy and hatred, without exception.

Now is the time when folk singers are popular. It is natural to envy the way they sing with their guitars and want to do the same thing.

Of course, many times, just because you know a little guitar, it is easy to catch up with girls' hatred and urge people to pick up the guitar.

Very good. There's motive anyway.

About Qin

The 300-yuan "guitar" (rare in quotation marks) sounds totally different from the songs of Zhi, Li, Ye and Lei, and more importantly, it feels anti-human.

This object, commonly known as practicing the piano, is the most important reason for beginners to give up learning guitar within one month.

With enough motivation and determination, we picked up this kind of piano in a murderous way and prepared for a big fight. Fifteen minutes later, our fingers lost consciousness, and then we collapsed, doubted life and were tired of the world, and never wanted to touch that stupid wood again. But that night, we dreamed of our handsome appearance of playing the piano and singing, and we won a life-and-death victory when we woke up. Then fifteen minutes later, we lost consciousness, collapsed, doubted, were tired of the world, and called stupid wood ... (Of course, there are a few people who are destined to break through this evil influence with extremely touching perseverance and eventually become masters. They are beyond the scope of today's discussion. )

Yes, most quitters have such a mental journey, so be kind to yourself, buy a good piano, and give up the idea of changing the piano after the technology is good (in fact, it is a waste of money). The first one should choose the most expensive piano within his ability. For example, if your disposable fund is 3,000 yuan, borrow 500 yuan from that idiot in the next class and buy a piano with 3,500 yuan.

If you have 20,000 yuan, buy a piano with 20,000 yuan. Friends who know the beautiful king Xu Cen may remember that when he started to learn guitar at the age of 26, he borrowed money to buy Lowden, 47,000 yuan, second-hand. Of course, just like burning headphones and audio equipment, the more expensive the piano, the lower the cost performance. 20,000 pianos are higher than 1 10,000 pianos in all aspects. 100% is by no means an algorithm. As for whether the concept of "cost performance" is meaningful, I will discuss it later. )

I had the idea of learning piano when I was a fool. At that time, the disposable funds were around 35 yuan. Finally, under the wave after wave of emotional offensive, I cheated my mother for 400 yuan and bought the most expensive star acoustic guitar at that time. The piano is not timbre, but it feels good. I practiced with it, and I didn't encounter the danger of the collapse of the three views, and I passed the beginner stage smoothly.

Yes, buying a good piano is the first step to learn guitar well. At the same time, it will cost a lot of money, which will increase the pain index of giving up halfway and improve the retention rate of daily life and next month.

About basic skills

If the purpose of learning piano is to play a few popular songs, occasionally confuse the girl and refer to my indigenous steelmaking cheats, it will take two weeks at a time and a month at a time.

At that time, there was no teacher's guidance, I was eager to play the piano and sing, and I felt constipated. Finally, I decided to break the common chords one by one. I got familiar with each fingering first, and then began to practice the conversion between pairs. I stared at my left hand lifting from C, switching to Am in the air, and then pressing. This is cruel. So I practiced for more than five hours every day (during the summer vacation) and closed for ten days, learning the transformation of six triads in C key with tone sandhi.

Things will never be so simple. Local steelmaking is extremely limited. Generally, it will not improve further after study, and it can only stay at the stage of not constipation. If you want to learn seriously, start with the basic skills (all kinds of grid climbing exercises, left-hand coordination exercises, scales, modeling ...) to control your fingers.

It is best to have a reliable teacher to guide you in the stage of practicing basic skills, which will save you a lot of dead ends. After meeting an excellent teacher, I gave up my hand and practiced basic skills from scratch for half a year. After that, the progress is naturally considerable, enough to make other partners who stay in the sixth chord stage open their mouths.

At the same time, we should learn some basic knowledge of music theory, understand what we are playing, why we play like this, why this chord is followed by that chord, whether it is more interesting to change other chords, and so on.

According to the popular saying now, it is to deliberately practice the comfort zone, often do things that you can't play and think of, and keep going up the stairs. The foreign saying is to strive to enter a higher level.

There is an ugliness of human nature here: it is a pleasure and superiority to stand on a higher level and smile at those who play and sing blindly.

Ultimate concern

Doing nothing, the destructive power of this sentence is quite terrible, and countless people fall in front of it.

At the age of 26, Xu Cen borrowed money to buy 47,000 yuan. When Lowden started to stay up late to practice fingerplay, so that he was dismissed by the company, he probably wouldn't have thought that a set of fingerplay tutorials he recorded a few years later could earn more than one million yuan in Taobao.

When Gaga, the Six Gods, hid under the covers when she was a teenager and watched Feixue shoot Bailuyuan again and again, he probably just thought that he would become a successful entrepreneur in the media industry by writing about Jin Yong in a few years.

In fact, if you have two hours of free time after work, frowning and worrying about your salary, future and when to realize financial freedom, compared with spending two hours doing what you like, it will not improve your situation at all, but will only increase your anxiety for two hours at best.

The same is true for middle-aged and elderly Internet practitioners at the bottom, and it seems that there is no water. Instead of scratching your head and fidgeting, learn some skills.

Whether it is "doing business", it is the same as fashion. This year's terrapin modeling may become a trend pioneer in five years.

After all, believing that the wind and water turn is the ultimate way to self-salvation.
