Diandiao is the most basic and important fingering in the right fingering, and the name of the word pipa also comes from Diandiao. "In front of the push hand, it is called loquat (that is, playing), but when leading the hand, it is called loquat (that is, picking)." Some other fingerings and group fingerings of the right hand are derived from flicks.

The most common mistakes in the initial practice of playing and picking are: the forearm moves down when popping, and the forearm moves up when picking in. The movement of playing the forearm up and down is like cutting vegetables, which is ugly and difficult to play, and greatly limits the application and play of the play in performance. In addition, the derivative fingering of the pick will produce an interlocking reaction, which will cause endless troubles.

When practicing finger picking, pay attention to the hand posture: the back of the wrist is slightly protruding, and the back of the hand and the panel are oblique, that is, the wrist joint on the side of the little finger is slightly lifted outwards and forward (in order to make the thumb, forefinger and string) When the body is in contact, it is easy to be similar in the horizontal angle); the tips of the thumb and index finger should be generally aligned (the thumb is short and the index finger is long, so that the two fingers are generally even, the index finger must be slightly curved); do not put the index finger Put it on the bottom to play at the bottom left, put the thumb on the top and pick it up to the right (this posture is called "corns", the pronunciation of the two fingers is very different from the timbre), and the thumb and forefinger should be pinched into "phoenix eyes". , because it is easy to make the thumb and forefinger fingernails touch the same point on the string body when playing with the phoenix eye posture, and the pronunciation and timbre are easy to be consistent.

When practicing bouncing and picking, keep the hand shape basically still. In the initial practice, especially don't use the forearm and wrist to exercise, but only rely on the thumb and index knuckles to move. Therefore, when picking, you must first practice the movement and force of the thumb and index finger knuckles. Because the tip of the fingernail is used to touch the string body when picking, the knuckles are closer to the tip of the fingernail, and the movement of the fingers is small, so the time spent on each picking or picking can be shortened, and it is easy to perform fast picking. At the same time, after practicing the force method of the knuckles, you can also make strong and weak changes in the case of very fast movements and very small movements. In particular, "rolling" refers to the continuous, even and rapid strumming on the strings to produce a long-tone-like effect. The requirements for the consistency of the timbre and volume of the strumming are very strict. Make sure the volume is consistent and the rhythm is even.

A common problem with wheel fingers is that the pronunciation of each finger is uneven and discontinuous. The whole interval of the wheel is weak; the pronunciation of the wheel is accompanied by a large noise, etc.
