Ukulele Strike Technique: Strike Practice Method
Percussion is usually called hammer, hammer, stroke and stroke (generally speaking, stroke refers to the left hand, and the right hand is similar to the point string). This technique is marked with H on the music score, which is taken from the first letter of English Hammering on.
This technology, as its name implies, is like knocking something with a hammer. You don't pluck the strings with your right hand, but press the strings with your left finger to make a sound. For example:
Play an empty string with your right hand. ), and then a finger of the left hand beats the strings hard on the fret (or fret, fret, etc.). ). The first sound pops up and the second sound is made by tapping the strings.
Strings are usually used to play smooth or decorative sounds.
About exercises:
Pay attention to the classical hand shape when practicing. Press the left string with your left hand 1 finger (when the palm is facing you), and press the string with the fingertips of other fingers (the little finger is slightly crooked).
Classic hand type:
Then start with the third string. First, you press the fifth fret of the third string with 1 finger, lift the third finger about 2cm away from the fingerboard, and then hammer it down instantly.
(Note that the finger must not have the action of accumulating power, that is, there is the action of lifting, and the finger will simply hammer down at any position),
The point of this action is: 1. Strength 2. Not too fast. You're not disassembling the piano. We just need to make the string sound, and there is no extra force.
What's the use? It just acts on the fingerboard, which is a waste! !
Then practice on each string in the order of 2, 3, 4, 1.
After proficiency, cross practice.
Pay attention to follow the classical hand shape, don't learn the rock hand shape, it's useless at all.
When practicing, set the metronome to 60 and practice quarter notes.
Ukulele's String Sweeping Technique
Index finger length scanning
It is the most common and simplest way to get started by scanning all the strings with only one index finger. Straighten your wrist, hold the ball with your palm open, and bend the second knuckle of your index finger so that the front section of your index finger is almost perpendicular to your palm.
When sweeping strings, keep the forearm holding the piano, turn the wrist joint, and use the edge of the back tip of the index finger nail at the end of the fingerboard to cross each string horizontally to make them make a uniform sound. When sweeping the string, try to turn your wrist as much as possible. Take the following sweep as an example. At the beginning of the string sweeping, your fingers point to your face, and after the string sweeping, your fingers point to the ground. Make your fingers pass through the strings as quickly as possible, but try to avoid the swing of your forearm, otherwise it will lead to unstable grip.
Thumb short sweep
Move the second knuckle of the thumb, and sweep the strings with the inner edge of the thumb to try not to touch the wrist joint. Generally used to control the 3 rd and 4 th strings, the timbre is soft and short. If you see that the third and fourth strings are swept in the music score, you can try to sweep them with your thumb, and even a single note on the fourth string can be completed with your thumb.
Thumb scanning
Move the second knuckle of the wrist and thumb. Sweep all the strings with the muscles inside your thumb. The difference between short thumb scanning and short thumb scanning is that long thumb scanning needs to affect the wrist joint, and the swing range is as large as possible, while short thumb scanning cannot affect the wrist joint. In order to cooperate with the index finger short sweep, this technique can sometimes be used where all strings need to be played in the score.
Pick a short sweep on your index finger.
Move the third knuckle of the index finger, that is, the root of the finger, straighten the index finger, pick up 1 and 2 strings with the finger face up, and turn the wrist slightly to drive the index finger. The timbre is soft and short, and it is generally used to assist thumb short scanning. You can try this technique when you see the upper sweeping strings on strings 1 and 2 in the music score, or you can play individual notes on a string by sweeping the strings with your index finger.
