Among human fingers, the ring finger is the dumbest. It is said that the reason is that the ring finger, the middle finger and the little finger each share half a tendon, and some people say that the tendon of the middle finger presses the tendon of the ring finger, so the ring finger lacks the most independence. It is mainly manifested as feeling that the ring finger is very stupid, and when the middle finger pulls the string hard, it also shrinks to the palm with the middle finger. distance.
This brings a very big technical obstacle to playing the zither. For example, when playing broken chords, chords, and using extended fingering in the fingering sequence, the ring finger cannot make preparations for reaching the string position while the middle finger is pulling the string. Strings are weak and so on. If this obstacle is not overcome, the improvement of playing kite technology will be greatly restricted. To this end, netizens searched around for information and tried many ways to find some ways to overcome the pull between the two, and they felt that it had a certain effect.
1. Pull the ligament. One is the horizontal pull, that is, the other palm is often pressed between the middle and ring fingers to stretch the distance between the fingers and stretch the transverse ligament. The second is vertical pull, the middle finger is bent to the palm, and the other hand pulls the ring finger to the back of the palm forcefully to open the longitudinal ligament. It is only possible to widen the finger spacing by pulling the ligaments apart.
2. Bend one finger. Open the palm of your hand and straighten your five fingers. One of the fingers is slowly bent towards the palm of your hand, and try your best to bend the small joints of the fingers (the section with long nails), and keep the other four fingers as straight as possible.
3. The middle finger and the ring finger are in scissors movement, the root joint is forced, when the middle finger is retracted towards the palm, the ring finger is tilted towards the back of the palm, and vice versa. To separate the motor nerves of the two fingers, exercise the independence and strength of the fingers.
4. Practice on the piano. At the same time as the middle finger is pulling the string, the ring finger is independently raised and stretched toward the back of the hand. At first, you can try to stretch the distance of one string, and slowly try to stretch the distance of more than three strings.
5. The ring finger is tied with the mother finger, the index finger, and the middle finger. Use the stake to fix the ring finger so that it cannot move, and exercise the middle finger to pluck the strings independently. When tying the ring finger, start with one string apart, and slowly try to tie it to more than two strings with the middle finger.
6. The middle finger is tied, and the ring finger is separated from the string to practice hitting and tick fingering.
Comprehensively carry out the above exercises, if you insist on it for half a year to a year, the ring finger will gain better independence and better finger strength. After that, whether it is playing broken chords, chords, fingerings, or fingers, there are no longer any physical obstacles to the fingers, and you will feel that everything is very relaxed and calm.
Matters needing attention: Do not rush to pull the ligament, do not be too heavy and take too long, otherwise the muscles will be easily pulled. The intensity of other exercises is also very high, and it should be done gradually and gradually. Otherwise it is just as easy to use your fingers to get hurt.
