Playing the guzheng with both hands and skills, playing the guzheng to reach a certain level, depends on the skillful technique and the skills of the two hands.
1. Round Wipe: Quickly alternately pluck the strings with the fingering of Wipe with the left and right hands. The order of plucking is generally the right hand first and then the left hand. The swipe is often used to play consecutive sixteenth notes to express jumps or rushes.
2. Three-hook wheel wipe: This is a group of comprehensive fingerings in which both hands cooperate with plucking. There are four plucking movements in total: the first time with the three hooks with the right hand; the second time with the left hand; the third time with the right hand; the fourth time with the left hand. Tri-hook round wipes are often used in emotionally charged music.
3. Wheel pinch: Alternately pluck the strings with the fingering of the pinch. The order of plucking is generally the right hand first and then the left hand. The wheel peg is often used for the performance of consecutive fast octave chords.
4. Two-handed arpeggio: Use both hands to play arpeggios and play decomposed chords to achieve the effect of flowing water. The force of arpeggios with both hands generally requires that the strength of each finger should be balanced, and sometimes it is emphasized that the big finger should be a little more forceful to highlight the melody in the arpeggio. Two-handed arpeggios should pay attention to the tightness of the connection between the left and the right hands, and the accurate timing.
5. Two-handed off-column scratching: The left and right hands alternately perform off-column scratching. It is mainly used to create atmosphere and obtain a certain special color. There are many ways to pluck the strings with both hands, and the above are only some of the fingerings of the hands. Other ways of working with both hands include:
a. The left hand plays the accompaniment pattern and the right hand plays the melody
b. The left hand plays the calendar and the right hand plays the melody
c. Play the melody in the left hand and the calendar in the hand
d. Alternately play calendar sounds with left and right hands, like a storm when it is intense; when it is slow, it is like gurgling water
e. Play the broken chord with the left hand and the melody with the right hand
f. The right hand plays the melody, the left hand plays the counter melody or sub-melody
g. The right hand plays the melody, and the left hand plays a certain effect (such as percussion, birdsong, etc.)
