Busting "Eight" on the guitar

Busting is one of the main ways to play an instrument such as the guitar. In this case, the strings are plucked, and the sounds must be extracted separately, in contrast to the fight. There are several types of brute force attacks. In this article, we will consider such a type as "Eight".

"Eight" is the most beautiful, but also the most difficult type of brute force. There are no notes and no strings involved. This type of game is difficult because all novice guitarists are faced with the problem of underdeveloped motor skills of the right hand, as a result of which the fingers quickly get tired and get confused.

To begin with, let's get acquainted with two schemes of the "Eight". Here are the notation we'll be using:

• B - bass string on the guitar;
• number - indicates the string to be used).

Now let's look at the diagrams:

• the first scheme: B-3-2-3-1-3-2-3;
• the second scheme: B-3-2-3-1-2-3-2.

The second type of interruption is extremely rare, but it will not be superfluous to know it.

"Eight" is one of the most beautiful and melodic busting, when mastering which you will discover wonderful and melodic compositions that help brighten up an evening in a cozy atmosphere among your friends, pleasantly surprise a loved one or simply cheer up by listening to excellent music in your own performance.

Having studied all the theory, you can start practice and training. In order to understand how to play, you should not clamp the chords with your left hand, but use it as a stabilizer, just holding the neck.Sit in a comfortable position so that you have a solid support, the guitar does not move, and nothing interferes with your elbows. With the thumb of your right hand, you need to pull the bass string, which, depending on the chord, will be 4, 5 or 6. After that, using your index finger, pull the 3 string. The next step: using your middle finger, you need to pick up string 2, index finger - 3, ring finger - 1. Then the third, second, third. Then you need to follow the same order again.

Having learned how to play this bust without hesitation, you can start playing with the addition of chords. The first chords will be Am-Dm-E. Using your first resting left hand, place your index finger on the second string at the first fret, with the middle one at the fourth at the second fret, and with the ring finger at the third at the same fret. After playing the brute-force twice, play the following chord: with the index finger we press the first string at the first fret, the middle string - the third string of the second fret, with the unnamed string - the second string of the third fret. This is played once, after which the E chord is played. It is not difficult to remember how the last chord is played. If you remember how to take Am, then there will be no problems with E: it is taken in the same way, only one string higher.

All manipulations are repeated in a circle.

Try to systematically improve your skills to improve motor skills and quickly memorize brute force. Do not try to play several brute force at the same time: master only one first. Don't be discouraged if you can't do it all at once. Start at a slow pace, accelerating over time.
