Fingerpicking and singing are two different ways to play the guitar, and they have some distinct differences.
First of all, fingerstyle and singing differ in performance techniques and expressions. Finger playing usually uses the nails of both hands to play the guitar, expressing ** and emotion through complex fingering and technique. This style of playing focuses on technique and speed, and requires a high degree of finger dexterity and playing ability. Playing and singing, on the other hand, is mainly singing, accompanied by the fingernails or picks of the right hand, and at the same time using the left hand to press the strings to make sounds. This style of performance focuses on singing and emotional expression, and requires the singer to have good vocal and breath control.
Secondly, there are also differences in style and characteristics between fingerstyle and singing. Fingerstyle is usually played solo, playing some repertoire with unique techniques and expressiveness, such as classical, rock, jazz, etc. This way of playing focuses on the best and the most technical, and requires the player to have a deep understanding and feeling. The playing and singing are mainly pop songs, and the emotions and artistic conceptions of the songs are expressed through simple chords and accompaniment. This style of performance focuses on singing and the expression of emotions, and requires the singer to impress the audience with real voices and emotions.
Finally, fingerpicking and singing are also slightly different in the choice of instruments. Fingerstyle usually uses more expensive guitars, such as Fender, Gibson and other brands, these guitars have higher quality and tone, and can better show the skill and quality of fingerstyle. Playing and singing usually use more common guitars, such as Yamaha, Cort and other brands, these guitars are relatively low, suitable for beginners and civilian players.
To sum up, although fingerstyle and playing and singing are both guitar playing methods, there are certain differences in playing skills, expressions, styles, characteristics and instrument selection. Choose the right way to play according to your interests and specialties, so that you can better play the charm and expressiveness of the guitar.
