At the beginning of learning the guzheng, there may be some wrong techniques. If there are some mistakes in the finger-shaking technique, it is corrected later. When it comes to strumming, the middle finger is always unable to strum, and it is difficult for the middle finger to touch the strings. What should I do?

When the guzheng is swept, the middle finger does not sound and it is difficult to touch the strings

It doesn't matter, it's too late to change it if it's wrong. Gently press the index finger on the first section of the thumb, with the thumb facing outward. When shaking, the elbow should be lowered as much as possible. The fingernail should not touch the string too deeply. Use the wrist to drive the finger.

Step 1: Make sure that the remote fingers are shaken out evenly, the hand shape is kept correct, practice more, and can't shake for a while without strength.

Step 2: Make the gesture of the remote finger, only use the middle finger to strum the strings, not the remote finger, do not strum too many strings, and retract the middle finger after sweeping, so that you can practice your middle finger and make you accustomed to the feeling of finding the middle finger to touch the string, but The hand shape of the remote pointing should be maintained.

Step 3: Set up the gesture of the remote finger, strum the string first, retract the middle finger, and then connect the thumb to the remote finger. Practice only one note, don't move the pitch with the remote finger (don't think that you can sweep too many notes at once) and practice slowly, if it's 6, just sweep the 6.

Step 4: After the sweeping practice of one note is completed, move the note and increase the speed.
