(6)Thumb and middle fingers together( an octave)

古箏初級指法 Guzheng for Beginners

(6) thumb and middle finger together

___________________________________________________

Thumb and middle fingers combo. It is usually used for at least an octave harmonic interval or greater intervals. The only difference is that  combo focuses on played at the same time. Both methods leaves and touch the next strings after plucking are possible. When plucking, both strings have to produce sounds at the same time. Both fingers have to apply the same strength - the middle finger cannot be stronger than your thumb. After plucking, relax the back of your hand and your fingers. 

"Ti Tan" method(leaves the string after plucking) - place your two fingers close to the two desired strings without touching them. If your nails touch the strings, it is easy to produce unnecessary noise. The reason is that it is likely the strings are still vibrating from the previous pluck.

 "Jia Tan" method(touch the next string after plucking) - place your two fingers against the two desired strings. Pluck and press down fast to land your fingers on the next strings.

 Note: When you first begin to practise, focus on using the same strength throughout the whole exercise. After you become familiar with the exercise, you may put more strength on certain notes to create a rhythm. After every four notes, the circle indicates that you start with the next string.
