guitar lessons often focus on fingering open chords or demonstrate
strumming patterns but today I will focus on the right hand technique for
acoustic guitar playing. The electric guitar player has a range of
electronic effects to help him express his feelings and musical ideas but
the acoustic guitar player has only his right hand.
So, departing from the focus of most free acoustic guitar lessons, we will
look at a few ways of working with the right hand to allow it to become
more expressive and to give you more control over your picking and
strumming. First, I should mention something that if you are new to the
acoustic guitar, you might not know about: if you try to play fast, you
will almost certainly lose volume.
This loss of volume needs to be compensated for if you really feel that
you need that extra bit of speed. To add volume to fast passages, you must
add force to your picking or strumming. This does not necessarily mean
that you need to tense your right arm. You could slow down your playing
and focus on accuracy. You watch how you pick or strum and make sure that
your playing is a series of movements that go from one to the other
without hesitation and without having to close your eyes and hope you hit
the right strings. If you feel any moments where your hand is unsure where
to go, you need to look closely at how you are playing and at what point
you are losing track of what you are doing.
The one thing I want to get across in this free acoustic guitar lesson is
that crosspicking is an ideal way to give your right hand more confidence.
You practice slowly, of course, until your hand and are able to move
between strings without hesitation. Keep your wrist loose as you practice.
This should be a rule except when you are playing a series of rapid up and
down movements like fast strumming or a single string tremolo passage.
Crosspicking involves moving smoothly and rapidly between strings, so if
you become proficient at this picking technique your playing style will
become more adaptable and free of tension.
Before you go off looking for another free acoustic guitar lesson,
remember that whether you are playing single note melodies or strumming
chords, the beginner acoustic guitar player needs to listen for the
telltale scraping that shows he is not holding the pick at the correct
angle to the strings. Hold your pick at a right angle to the string so
that it picks the string without scraping.
