Description

  The present invention relates to a chord press assisting tool for a stringed instrument used for facilitating acquisition of a technique for playing a stringed instrument such as a guitar.

  The first difficulty faced when trying to learn music through musical instrument performance is that if you can't master elementary performance skills, you can't go on to the next stage of training to improve musicality and artistry. That is.

  Acquiring performance skills is physical training, so music beginners can't overcome the training challenges to acquire physical control skills that they face when trying to learn instrumental performance skills There was a problem that the interest in the music itself could be lost.

  For guitars, ukuleles, and other types of instruments that produce a sound by playing a string on a fingerboard with a neck fret, press the string with the opposite hand of the dominant hand and play the string with the dominant hand That means different movements with both hands.

  In the first place, in addition to having to acquire music reading techniques for playing musical instruments, when playing guitar or ukulele, the opposite hand of the dominant hand is the position of the finger to make a predetermined sound. You have to learn the combination of finger position when playing chords, and wearing fingering when the scale changes. A type of cord called the Serra (valley) chord that presses all the strings with the index finger and then presses the other strings with the remaining fingers. Is not easy to learn.

  The dominant hand, on the other hand, not only plays the string that was held down by the opposite hand of the dominant hand, but also played all the strings at once when the opposite hand pressed the chord, but also an arpeggio (distributed chord) You must learn different skills from the other hand, such as playing as

  In order to solve these problems, it is better to start with the training of the dominant hand, who is easy to learn the technique. You can move smoothly.

  However, if you do not operate the opposite hand of the dominant hand and perform repeated exercises with only the dominant hand, there are few kinds of sounds that can be produced, and you will not be able to feel the fun of the practice and cause frustrations, so the opposite of the dominant hand If the strings can be pressed so that several chords can be constructed by performing simple operations, the willingness to practice can be continued and the performance technique of the dominant hand can be improved. Many songs are basically composed of 3 types of chords, and if you can hold 3 types of chords with a simple operation, you can train the dominant hand according to well-known songs, Helps maintain motivation for practice.

  Therefore, in the conventional pushing / releasing assist device (conventional technology), it is attached to the neck of a guitar or ukulele, etc., and the indirect operation from the opposite hand and foot of the instrumental player's dominant hand is linked, so that the musician's It is known to assist the movement of pushing and releasing strings (Patent Document 1).

  However, the conventional technique assists the movement to save all the strings like the chord F and the movement to open and hold the little finger and ring finger like the chord G by using the foot while moving the instrument itself. . This requires an understanding of the form of the code and uses the feet in addition to the left and right hands, so the operation is not always easy and is not suitable for beginner practice. In addition, the conventional technology is bulky and is not suitable for carrying with a musical instrument. In addition, since the structure is complicated, the manufacturing cost is high and it has not been possible to provide it inexpensively.

  The present invention was made in view of such circumstances, and in order to facilitate the acquisition of playing techniques for stringed instruments such as guitars, it began with the training of the dominant hand that is easy to learn the technique, and continued the willingness to practice, and the dominant hand It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive chord press assisting tool for stringed instruments that can improve performance technique and can smoothly shift to training of the opposite hand of the dominant hand after being familiar with the instrument.
