By Janet Reynolds


Many troupes start to play cithern as an audio cithern player. Because people often tend to think aural cithern is easier to play than electric ones. Look at the following article going to take us through the theme Common mistakes you should avoid in Acoustic Guitar Players for Wedding.

Begin by practicing only down strokes. Keep it even and lightly tap your foot while you are playing to give you a better sense of timing. As soon as you are comfortable with this rhythm, move on to strumming up and down, alternatively. After a while, you can experiment with different strumming patterns by changing up and down strokes.

Try rehearsing down up with your right hand or up down. Pay attention to the songs of musicians who play folk, country or audio rock and try to learn by observing their styles. Once you have created a few diverse strumming patterns, consider trying some finger picking. A very simply starting exercise involves alternating between picking and strumming.

Fret a chord like C or A, but instead of only strumming as you did before, pluck the bass note, which in this case would be the A or second lowest string and then strum only the three high notes using a down stroke. For different chords, you need to use different bass notes. With E or G, you should pick the E or lowest string, whereas, with D or F chords, it would be the D or third lowest string.

Try different varieties, like pluck-pluck-strum or pluck-strum-strum to get yourself into the swing of things. Don't forget about tapping your foot as you are practicing this. As you are playing gets more confident in this new style, you can try picking out a complete chord. Play the bass notes with your thumb and then use your index, middle and ring finger to tackle the higher notes.

Most players reserve their index finger for the G string, the middle finger for B and use their ring finger to play the higher E string. As when you are strumming, you can play around with different patterns. Refer to guitar tabs for beginners to get ideas on what other musicians do with this technique. As is the case with your right hand, the left hand can be used for a lot more than fretting notes.

Don't learn finger picking. This is a common problem among electric cithern players. To play electric cithern, it seldom requires finger picking. They often play with a pick. However, audio cithern playing doesn't only use a pick but also use finger picking very often. If you want to improve your auditory cithern playing, you should start to learn finger picking.

A slightly more complicated technique involves bending a note by pushing your left finger a little higher up the fret to change the pitch of a note. Aim first at bending the note only half a ton. As you get more practice, you should be able to master a whole tone. Remember to teach yourself guitar; the key is to have the discipline to practice a little often. You can try guitar notes for beginners if you like, before moving onto chords.
