和弦图上的竖线表示琴弦,从右到左分别是1234弦,横着的格子表示“品”。和弦图上的数字表示的是左手的手指,1代表用左手的食指按,2代表用左手的中指按,3代表用左手的无名指按,4代表用左手的小指按。上方标记小圆圈代表弹这根的弦空弦音,上方标记小x号代表这根弦是不发声音的,演奏过程中不应弹到它。和弦图左面的数字表示该和弦位于指板的品数,也就是把位。
九、音符与节奏
附点音符:音符右边的小圆点叫做附点,附点代表延长前面音符1/2的时值。双符点音符第一个符点延长前面音符的1/2时值,第二个符点延长第一个符点的1/2时值。
休止符:休止符即空拍,不发出声音,但占用时值。

当你已经学习了尤克里里的基本弹法,你就应该在更多的人面前演奏它。 即使你只能弹三个和弦,也已经足够你去表现自己了。
尤克里里大神Jake Shimabukuro给大家的练琴小建议
1. Change your strings at least once every 2 months.
最少每两个月换一次弦线(这个对于大部分同学来说有点难度……)
2. File the finger nails of your strumming hand and use a buffer to really make them smooth. You’ll get a better tone when you pick and strum!
磨靓磨滑右手的指甲,能使你拨/扫出更美的音色。(指甲钳需要经常随身备着)
3. Keep the nails on your other hand really short. It’ll be easier to hold your chords.
左手指甲尽量短,能使你更轻松地按和弦。(完全赞同!)
4. Practice playing really soft/quite and be very gentle with the strings. This will help you with your control and dynamics.
多练温柔地轻巧的弹法,能助你控制乐曲的「势」。(所以说,用蛮力弹琴的童鞋们节约点力气吧……)
5. Work on one hand at a time. For example, if you’re learning a new chord progression, practice holding the chords first without strumming. Then once you get that down, then add the other hand.
每次只练一只手。例:学新和弦时,先练左手按弦的位置,不要扫弦;掌握后才加进右手扫弦。(左右手分开练习,然后合一练习)
6. Play songs that make you happy! That way you’ll always be inspired to practice!
选能令自已开心的乐曲弹奏,能使练习时启发出更多灵感。(不用多说了吧~ )
7. Make sure to take breaks during your practice sessions! Don’t practice for more than an hour without taking a 10 minute break. Your muscles need time to rest. Also, if your fingers get too tired and you can’t concentrate, you’ll start developing bad habits.
练习时要安排休息,如练习1小时就要给肌肉休息10分钟,手指太疲倦 ,无法集中精神的练习对你有害无益。
8. Don’t get frustrated. If you start feeling discouraged or angry because you can’t play a song, just take a break and rest for a while. Remember, playing your instrument should be fun and relaxing.
如练习时遇上樽颈位,不要灰心和发怒,先休息一下。切记!ukulele带给你的应该是轻松和欢乐。(瓶颈是正常的现象,要淡定~)
9. If you’re really having a difficult time learning a song, just break it down to the basics. Work on short segments. Just practice one measure over and over. Then add the second measure. Then later add the third. Keep going until you’ve got the whole song down.
遇上难度高的乐曲,可拆散来练习,先完成一个小节,之后才加上另一个,如意类推,直至完成整首歌。(就是拆成一小节一小节练习啦~)
10. Try to practice everyday. Even if you only have five minutes. As your finger muscles develop, you’ll find yourself learning a lot quicker.
养成每天练习的习惯,5分钟也好,这样可使肌肉得以发展,有助往后的学习事半功倍。(论练琴持之以恒的重要性)
Have fun and enjoy! Ganbatte!!!
祝乐在其中,加油!
