The difference between good players and great players is often found in one key word. That word is technique. While I am not prepared to say that there is only one right way to play. I know that there are lots of famous players out there who really don't have very good technique. But in watching great guitar players (one of my favourite pastimes), I have noticed a few things that are very consistent. These page will be devoted to passing some of these observations along to you. Strumming Technique The difference between clean sounding chords with distinguishable intervals and sloppy sounding chords that having ringing notes that don't belong in the chord can often be found right here. My suggestion is, don't be a thrasher! What I mean is, don't arm strum. It's all in the wrist. Strumming with your wrist with the palm of your hand rested closer to the saddle will give you the control you need to play those four and five string chords accurately. It will help you immensely when it comes to developing good "flat-picking" technique. Not only will this give you better accuracy, but also will increase stamina. The old arm can get real tired flailing away passionately on those strings. Especially on the acoustic guitar, you cannot make your guitar louder by beating on the strings. In addition, wrist strumming will save you from breaking strings. String manufacturers probably love strum thrasher. One more plus is that wrist strumming will make it easier to keep your guitar in tune. We like to think that no one can tell when we are playing an out-of-tune guitar, but most people have better hearing than we or they would like to think. People do appreciate music that sounds good. Out of tune strings sound bad. |
