Beginners learn guzheng, to be exposed to a variety of fingerings, among which the first two-tone technique we have learned is "big pinch, small pinch".

Dual tone, as the name suggests, is two tones issued at the same time, making the sound more layered. The same is true for the big and small techniques in the guzheng. Two fingers appear at the same time to complete the double tone. The difficulty of this fingering is slightly more difficult than our beginner's "Gou Moto".

Introduction to Guzheng's Dual Tone Techniques

One, a handful

When playing, there is a string between the index finger and the index finger, and the finger shape remains the same (the finger shape of holding + wiping). Oh strong!

When a small group is used, the index finger and the index finger should be placed in advance, so that the double tones played will be more synchronized.

Points to note when pinch:

1. The plane touches the strings. The angles of the big finger and the index finger are different, so pay attention to the adjustment and try to keep it horizontal with the strings.

2. The two fingers touch the strings on the plane at the same time, and use the finger joints to exert force. Do not use the arms or shoulders to exert force, which will affect our playing speed.

3. Keep your hands and limbs in a natural and relaxed state, and keep your hands beautiful.

Second, a large

Similar to the small group, the large group is composed of a large finger rest and a middle finger hook.

When reading the score, the upper sound is the big finger, and the lower sound is the middle finger.

There are four strings between the middle finger and the big finger. Among them, "Men Be Self-improvement" is a very good set of etudes.

Points to pay attention to when making a large batch:

1. The big and middle fingers stick to the strings and contract to the palm at the same time

2. When using, pay attention to the clarity of the melody of the thumb

Among the fingering skills of large groups and small groups, the big finger is the most important, and all the main melody is borne by the big finger. With the increase of the distance, the difficulty of the two-tone fingering also increases. If you want to practice these two fingerings, there is no shortcut, only continuous practice and practice! This way you will become stronger!

Involving musical instruments

Guzheng (pinyin: Gǔ Zhēng), also known as Hanzheng and Qinzheng, is an ancient national musical instrument of the Han nationality and is popular all over China. It is often used for solo, duet, instrumental ensemble and accompaniment of song and dance, opera and folk art. Because of its wide range, beautiful timbre, rich playing skills and strong expressiveness, it is known as the "King of Music", also known as "Oriental Piano", and is one of the unique and important national musical instruments in China.
