Adding Dynamics to Your Guitar Playing

With just a series of chords to strum and a fret board to follow, playing the guitar can be a wonderful hobby to entertain yourself and your friends.

Recently, I have had people emailing me asking some common questions:

"Hi Paul, I would like to why a same song played by different players can sound so drastically apart?"

"I have been trying to learn an acoustic song on the guitar but cannot get it anywhere near to sounding like the original artist. How can I improve myself?"

The main issue that we need to address here is: dynamics on guitar playing.

If you are already aware of playing the guitar, it is high time now to introduce dynamics to your skills. Adding dynamics to your guitar playing will heighten the quality of your tunes, and it will help you stand out from the usual play you do.

Actually, the play that you are doing now, without the dynamics, will sound much similar to the plays other newbie guitarists will do. Dynamics will make your sound different, and will give you many opportunities to show your creativity.

This video will discuss some of the most common steps in making your composition a lot more intense and professional sounding as compared to the normal way of doing it.

The basic difference between a few of the two methods highlighted in this video guitar lesson is the intensity. Guitar picking is intended to create softer and smoother sounds, and is then perfect for playing blues and mellows. On the other hand, strumming the guitar will produce a livelier note composition and is then used frequently on the chorus of the song, or just any part that requires more intensity.

As you can see, good dynamics on the guitar can easily change the feel and tone of the songs. It can help you connect better with your audience if you are playing live.

Adding dynamics to your guitar playing does not require you to be professional in the field. Although having this skill would require a huge amount of effort and mastery in your end, even amateurs can add simple dynamics such as slides and vibrato to playing the guitar to create their own unique style. In that case, it would be better for you to start practicing how to play the guitar with depth and stylistics.
