The right hand makes the sound, and the left hand guides it

Оглавление

In blues guitar, as in other forms of guitar playing, the hands perform different functions — unlike, say, the piano or saxophone where the hands work the same way. In guitar playing, the left-hand fingers press down the strings at different frets, which creates different sounding pitches — the note names like A, C, F♯, B♭, and so on. But the left hand doesn’t make the sound.

The right hand is what actually produces the sound — by strumming or plucking the strings. The left hand make no sound on its own, but decides what pitches will be heard when the right hand plays. The right hand can make sound, but it can’t make organized, intelligent sound without the left hand providing the right notes to play. So the two hands need each other, and they must coordinate their efforts so that they move together to create chords and single notes in rhythm. In blues guitar playing, unlike large governmental bureaucracies, the right hand must know what the left hand is doing, and vice versa.
