I admit that the main purpose of my draft is to write the story between myself and the guitar.

☆ First tell the story of an old man

Since junior high school, I wanted to learn a musical instrument. The motivation of learning musical instruments was really to pursue female students. I think if I can play a musical instrument well, I will certainly attract female students' attention. So I began to think, what instrument can make me most attractive to female students? The first thing I thought of was the piano, but I immediately gave it up because the piano was too bulky, not portable, and the price of tens of thousands of dollars was not acceptable to ordinary families; Then I thought about the flute and harmonica, which are cheap and portable, and can be put in your pocket. But I thought again that if you use this instrument, you will have no mouth to sing; In the meantime, I also considered the violin, but I had never seen a violin playing and singing at the same time, so I gave it no; At last, the guitar came into my eyes. The guitar can be played sitting, standing, simply playing music, and singing while playing. It is most suitable for attracting female students. However, the rural income of that club was low, so my parents were reluctant to spend money to buy a guitar for their children, and even if they did, no one could teach them, so my guitar dream was dashed.

There was plenty of time in college, and the guitar dream began to grow in my mind. When I was about to save money for a guitar, I just got the notice of enlistment. The story was as helpless as "when you put on the wedding dress, I also put on the cassock", so the guitar dream was broken again. By the time my guitar dream was regained, I had become a husband and father. Although I had experienced several broken dreams, I never gave up the belief that I wanted to learn guitar. When I told my wife these words, she gave me great support and encouragement, so this time I finally realized my guitar dream.

After determined to learn the guitar, the first trouble I encountered was to choose a guitar. I think everyone will also be confused with me, because they don't know anything about the guitar, and don't know how to choose a guitar that suits them; The second problem is that I don't have time to go to the tutoring class. I am busy with my work every day, and I have to live after I get married. I have to pay the mortgage every month. The guitar tutoring class now costs more than 200 yuan an hour. Although my wife supports me, I love this extra expense, so self-study has become my only choice. I'm very interested in guitar, but I don't know how to choose a guitar at all. It's totally zero based, and I can only constantly search for knowledge related to guitar on the Internet. Through Baidu Post Bar, I met an older guitar beginner who has similar experience with me. He shared a lot of information and experience with me, and recommended a community called "Play Bar" to me, There are many friends in the community who have guitar dreams like me, including students and adults who have taken part in the work. They have completed the transition from zero foundation to beginner to beginner to expert guitar player through self-study.

After spending a week in the piano playing bar community, I simply entered the club and got a certain understanding of the guitar. I realized that when choosing a guitar, I should pay attention to the material, workmanship, barrel shape, size and color of the guitar, which is simply the configuration of the guitar. Considering that I should completely learn from scratch, the smart guitar has become my best choice, The GEEK Smart Guitar, Black Bean Smart Guitar, Kama Guitar and other smart guitars are listed from the Internet. Through appearance comparison, sales comparison, evaluation comparison and reputation comparison, I finally stood together with the masses of the people and chose the GEEK smart guitar with good reputation, strong strength, high quality and good evaluation.

☆ When I first met you, I felt like an old friend returning, and my first impression of GEEK smart guitar

After determining the goal, I immediately reported it to my daughter-in-law, opened the official website of GEEK Smart Guitar and gave her a review. My daughter-in-law indicated that I would skip the entry-level model and select the advanced A1 single board guitar in one step. In fact, for beginners, there is no need to waste money on comparison. At the entry-level stage, it would be better to choose a more cost-effective P1 simple version. The guitar was delivered by express on the third day after the order was placed. The official website package Shunfeng was quite powerful. The guitar was packed in a very large corrugated box, with a thick layer of plastic foam board inside. The protection was relatively comprehensive. The guitar was also wrapped in a electrostatic bag.

After removing the electrostatic bag, GEEK The smart guitar is displayed in front of us. This is a folk single board guitar with missing corners. Because of its complex process, the missing corner guitar is generally a little more expensive than the rounded corner guitar, and it is more convenient to play solo. This advantage will be more obvious when playing high in the later stage, and it also looks more lively, fashionable and beautiful than the rounded corner guitar. Veneer guitar refers to a guitar part made of a whole piece of wood. The A1 panel is made of complete spruce wood, which can also be called a face sheet.

Because it is an intelligent guitar, in addition to the common certificates, warranty cards, manuals, braces, strings, there is also a battery charging base on the accessories. Smart products must be inseparable from electricity. The battery of GEEK intelligent guitar can be used continuously for about 30 hours after being charged once, which is basically a monthly charge.

Before learning the guitar, you must first know the guitar, recognize its various parts and functions, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort in the later stage. Sharpening the knife doesn't hurt the woodcutter. Let's take a closer look at GEEK smart guitar first. From top to bottom, the guitar consists of the head, neck, instrument, fingerboard, sound hole, pillow, side plate, etc. When playing, use the right hand to pluck the strings at the sound hole, and the left hand to control the fingerboard area. The playing sound is sent out through the guitar's resonator. These things are explained in detail in the guitar class of "Play the piano", so I won't say more.

The most obvious difference between GEEK intelligent guitar and ordinary wooden guitar is that it has power switch, battery case, LED indicator light, and of course, the internal intelligence part. But I don't want to disassemble it, so I won't show it to you internally. But this powerful function will be explained to you later, because I can play the song Happy Birthday very slowly in half an hour, Confidence has greatly increased.

First, take a look at the basic part of this GEEK smart guitar. A good foundation is really good. The head of the guitar is relatively simple, but the GEEK logo is slightly ugly, which is not grand at first sight. I'm looking forward to making the logo into metal and more exquisite, so that it can match the temperament of the guitar.

The main function of the six string buttons on the head of the piano is to adjust the pitch. Before playing the guitar every time, it is recommended to adjust the pitch. There is a special tuning tool in the APP of the piano bar, which is very simple to use. Press the APP's prompts to pull the corresponding guitar strings. If the strings are too loose or too tight in the APP, there will be corresponding prompts, and the direction of adjustment will also be prompted, When the strings are aligned, the APP will also pop up a corresponding prompt. For a beginner like me, this APP is really sweet. By the way, all guitars can be tuned with this APP. The APP has strong versatility, and there are many practical gadgets. I will give you a brief introduction to the progress in the future.

The material of the neck is unknown. It has a very fine and comfortable texture. When the thumb moves on the neck, it will not be too astringent or smooth. It is just a good feeling. The string pitch is low and there is no competition. When you start to practice, you will not feel special fatigue. Although you cannot avoid finger pain during the practice, after the hand pain period, You will feel very comfortable playing the guitar. It is not hard to press and cross the strings. The low chord pitch is very suitable for beginners to practice climbing.

The missing angle design makes GEEK smart guitar look very beautiful, which is also the reason why my daughter-in-law liked it at first sight. Through later learning, the missing angle guitar also has a wider range performance, and it will be easier to play SOLO in a high position, which is very suitable for solo singing. Of course, these are just unexpected gains. The nail above is used to hang the strap.

As mentioned earlier, GEEK Smart Wood Guitar is a single board guitar. This single board means that the panel of the guitar is made of a whole board. I lay down on the panel and looked carefully. I found that the grain is very fine and there is no defect in the outer layer. But I don't know anything about the wood. I just heard from friends who play the guitar that the material of this guitar is very good and the workmanship is also excellent, It's a good guitar.

Below the sound hole are the pillow and code of the guitar. I don't know how to identify and appreciate these things, so I just show you the picture above. If you understand, you can help me.

The appearance of the guitar is generally like this. Since I have just started to learn about the guitar from scratch, I would like to invite you to criticize and correct me for some inaccuracies. Here's how I learned the guitar.

☆ Happy Birthday in 15 minutes

I am a novice, I have never experienced any training before, and my understanding of guitar and music score is completely blank. However, I learned by myself completely according to the guidance of rap bar APP. It only took me about 15 minutes to play the first song of my guitar career, Happy Birthday. My daughter-in-law felt very strange after hearing what I played, although not very skilled, But at least it has become a tune. This small achievement is a great encouragement for beginners. In fact, you can learn it in 15 minutes after following the APP. First, connect the APP with the guitar. For beginners, it is recommended to use the music reading mode. After you can perform independently, you can choose the more cool Xianliang mode.

Then go to the guitar teaching materials to see how to hold the piano and how to operate the left and right hands. The content in the teaching materials is gradual. According to my experience, after reading the first lesson, the second lesson, the fourth lesson, the fifth lesson, and the sixth lesson, you can play with the APP. Of course, other lessons don't mean you don't need to learn them, but you can skip them when you are a beginner, Learn slowly when improving later. First, encourage yourself. Go to the music library to find the songs you want to learn. At the beginning, make a simple "Happy Birthday". According to the LED tips, press the ones that light up with your fingers, and you can simply pop up a song. This LED indicator light is especially helpful for novices. The LED light gives a prompt through full light and half light. The full light is the one to press this time, and the half light is the one to press next time. This kind of intelligent prompt helps you not to be in a hurry.

There are rich resources and detailed classifications in the music library of the piano bar. It supports multiple modes of search. Whether it is classic old songs or new songs that have just come out, there will be corresponding music scores. Even the recently popular Korean drama "descendants of the sun" has corresponding A-key guitar playing and singing music scores. The music library has specially prepared a climbing etude for newcomers, All the music scores here correspond to the LED on the guitar, and can be played successfully following the LED indication.

☆ Improvement depends on practice, and slow work makes craftsmen

It's not enough to really want to make the guitar more thorough. It's just to let you pass through the novice period easily and let you quickly adapt to the guitar. During this period of time, you should consciously improve the accuracy of pressing strings. The sense of rhythm is very important. In the process of practice, you can beat with the metronome in the tool and slow down at the beginning, Be sure to ensure the accuracy. Practice the score in the APP for 20 minutes every day, and you will be able to press and pull the chord skillfully in about a week.

During this period of practice, my fingers may hurt. It doesn't matter. Just stick to it for a while. My fingers only hurt for a few days, and now I have no feeling when I play. At this time, the exercises can be combined with the LED light and practiced in front of the score, and then go to the APP to look for the corresponding chapters if you don't understand them, which can improve quickly.

In addition to the picture and text tutorials in the teaching materials, there are video tutorials in the classroom. The video tutorials are very detailed, very clear, and have a very obvious guiding role. There are basically corresponding chapters here for some problems in learning guitar. The guitar lessons are divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced, step by step, and each exercise is followed by practical teaching, In this way, I can correct my fingering posture in front of the video. From my current self-study situation, I feel that there is no need to sign up for a special tutorial class to learn guitar. It is enough to have APP+GEEK intelligent guitar playing bar, and the later improvement can also be achieved through this combination.

☆ Learn more when you are advanced, and master the basic knowledge of music theory

With the deepening of practice, the level of playing the guitar is constantly improving. At this time, in addition to studying hard, we need to use some music theory knowledge. After mastering music theory knowledge, we can read music scores. As mentioned earlier, there are some music theory knowledge in the teaching materials. At this time, we can look back. It is relatively easy to understand music theory when we have a certain guitar foundation, Now we have also prepared some advanced video teaching in the classroom. There are also commonly used chord, chord dictionary, chord reverse query and other tools in the tools to help everyone improve their level.

If you encounter any problem or trouble that can not be solved by yourself in the process of novice or advanced, you can go to the community to ask friends. In addition to the interaction with you, professional guitar teachers will also give you guidance. In the piano playing bar community, new people join every day, new works are uploaded every day, and various experiences are exchanged and shared every day, If you interact more here, you can also send the videos or recordings you play to the community and let the teachers comment on them, which is very helpful to improve your level.

After this stage, I believe you can play a few simple tunes. Now you can show your cool by turning on the shining mode of the guitar or customizing the fingerboard. On the one hand, I have defined a letter of love. Does it look very handsome? If you use this guitar to seduce girls, the success rate will be 100%.

☆ Write at the end, the idea of guitar

GEEK Smart Guitar is the best choice if you want to speed up or have no time to attend training classes! It has been more than two weeks since I played GEEK Smart Guitar. In two weeks, I have completed the transition from a complete Xiaobai to a beginner. I can play some music independently and simply. I feel that I am the best example. In fact, many people like me have always wanted to learn guitar, but they just don't have time to learn it specially, or don't want to spend extra money on training classes, With GEEK Smart Guitar, you don't have to worry about it. You can easily learn it by following the LED indicator light, and the recorded video tutorial is very detailed. GEEK Smart Guitar can be said to be "a good teacher and friend for beginners and a cool tool for veteran guitarists." Finally, I would like to send a sentence from San Mao to those who want to learn guitar, or want to do something, but have never done it seriously. They should implement it while they are now, still interested, and still young.

The above is my old man's way of learning guitar. Although I have fulfilled my wish and learned how to get started with guitar, although I am very happy now, the story between me and GEEK smart guitar has just begun. From the moment I picked up GEEK smart guitar, I already knew that the way of guitar is very long, but I will continue to be firm, Not for the red flowers and green trees on both sides of the road, but for my first guitar dream.
