Basics | Uchi -- 基礎レッスン ｜ウチ (Patreon)

This video covers the technique, Uchi.
Uchi is the technique that rather than using Bachi to produce a sound, uses the technique of pressing the Tsubo quickly and with force, with your left hand fingers. There have been some songs that we covered in the lessons that use this technique. So some of you may be able to do it already. However, let’s once again take a look at the checkpoints and practice applying Uchi properly and with pro-level skill!
As an added bonus, we have prepared an original practice song too! Please enjoy!

撥で音を出さずに糸を指で鳴らす奏法をウチと言います。
今まで練習してきた曲にも入っていたのでなんとなくできる方も多いと思いますが、注意点をしっかり見直して正しいウチの音を出せるよう練習してみましょう。
今回はウチを練習するためのオリジナルの練習曲も作りました。
是非トライしてみてください！
