sounds more driving than
In addition, thanks to the presence of pauses, this battle can be played much faster than a four-man battle.
It's played like this:
To better understand how to play it, play this structure:
down-up-down-up-down-up-down-up
Those. just down and up 4 times, each blow of the same duration.
And then throw out 2 blows from it, the second and the fifth (these are up and down blows).
But don’t just throw them away, but run them through with your hand without touching the strings. This is called idling the hand.
Those. the hand always moves up and down with the same frequency, sometimes it just doesn’t play, it moves idle. In many songs This principle is based not only
, but also many others. 
- It's more clear in the diagram:
- Black arrow - strike the strings
- White arrow - idle (hand moves, but does not play)
Down arrow - play down, up arrow - up, respectively
The second way to understand this fight:
We break it into 2 parts and work on them separately:
1) down-up idle-down-up
2) down idle-up-down-up
Now let's combine both parts.
Practice battle six thoroughly using our already favorite sequences:
Am Dm E Am
Dm G C Am
Em C G D
Em Am C D Play the same fighting six Cinema-When Your Girlfriend Is Sick
Chords G Em C D
In the chorus C D G Em
One strum for each chord
As we can see, in the lead and in the chorus the chords are the same, it’s just that in the chorus the sequence starts with the C chord
Let's add jamming to battle six.
How to play jamming is described above in the four-man battle.
As we already know, six taking into account pauses it is played like this:
down – down – up – up – down – up
Jam on the second and fifth strike (downward strikes)
It will turn out like this:
down – down with mute – up – up – down with mute – up
Jamming is marked with asterisks.
The muffled impacts will occur after the same amount of time, i.e. they will keep the rhythm.
Yes, in fact, it is easily noticeable if you count the number of shares from one asterisk to another.
It's equal to four.
Guitar strike six is almost the simplest and popular look battle, especially in Russian rock songs. With it you can perform most of the compositions. In general, strumming is the most popular way to accompany singing. It is not much more complicated than the four, but it sounds more driving and is played faster due to pauses. Fight six - great option, for both beginners and advanced guitarists.
The game of this battle is very simple, here is the scheme: down - down-up - up-down-up. Long lines between movements indicate pauses. To better understand how to perform this smoothly, play the following sequence: down-up-down-up-down-up-down-up. Practice it with any chords until it works well. Now remove the second and fifth elements from the diagram. That is, you play down, and where it should sound up, you simply move your hand without touching the strings, and then continue to play down and up, and again move your hand empty.
There is another easy way to learn how to play this guitar strum. You can break the entire sequence into two parts and practice them separately, and then connect them. It looks like this:
- down-up-down-up.
- down-up-down-up.
Selected elements are played with sound, and not selected elements are played without sound. Practice the guitar strumming in pieces, and then try to put it together. To make your practice more interesting, try playing different chords. For example, sequences: C, Am, F, G or Em, C, G, D. Many songs are built on them so that playing them will help you not only practice the technique, but also learn the accompaniment of a song in absentia.
It is better to combine chords when you confidently play the pattern on one chord. Many beginners have difficulties when changing chords: for example, it is difficult to maintain the rhythm or it is not clear at what point to change the chord. Let’s immediately clarify this point: the chord is rearranged immediately after the last stroke up and on the new chord we immediately play downwards without a pause.
Below we will attach video lessons that show in great detail and clearly how to play six. Look at them carefully, they will help you clarify unclear points.
What is fight six from the point of view of musical theory?
As you know, any song has a meter, which defines, roughly speaking, a set of notes of different durations in each measure. So, the guitar strike six corresponds to 4/4 or 2/4 time signatures. What is meant. Let's look at 4/4 as an example. This meter means that each measure has 4 beats, which can be read as ras-and-two-and-three-and-four-and.
If you superimpose the battle and score diagrams on top of each other, you will see that the elements completely coincide. By the way, learning to play with a count is good way learn to play correctly and evenly. Try to count for each movement (including idle strikes).
At first it will seem that this is impossible, but after a few attempts you will succeed. This useful skill will significantly help you learn how to perform more complex combinations in the future.
Complicated version of the battle
If you are already good at playing a simple version of combat, you can move on to studying a more complex and interesting version of it - with jamming. The game scheme remains the same, we just add jamming on the second and fifth hits. What does it mean to add jamming? This means that instead of making a sound, we hit the strings with our fingers, and then immediately cover them with the edge of our palm so that they stop sounding. If you do this with little force, you may even get a click from the beating of the strings on the floor of the frets. This sound makes the sound more interesting. The video lessons attached below talk in detail about how to properly mute strings.
What songs are played
Of course, to learn how to play six 100%, you need to do this with some song. Here is a small list of diverse and simple compositions that you can learn to play with a six:
- Last call.
- Orbit without sugar.
- Vladimir Central.
- Three white horses.
- When your girlfriend is alone.
In fact, the list is almost endless, if you sing well, then take any song you like, with a 90% chance the battle six will suit it. Video lessons on YouTube will help you learn how to sing correctly to accompaniment.
What other types of fights are there?
Types of strumming on the guitar in order, from simple to complex:
- Four or simple (down-up-down-up).
- Six or variety (army) (you already know the pattern).
- Figure Eight (down - down - up-down-down-up-down-up).
- Spanish.
As you can see, fights are named based on the number of strikes used in them (with the exception of the last one). Spanish guitar strumming is a separate topic. In general, this is a collective definition that includes many different ways of accompanying using techniques characteristic of Spanish music. Lessons on YouTube tell you in detail and show how to do such things.

We remind you that we also have a VKontakte group where we invest various lessons, sheet music, tablature, video and others useful materials for guitarists. Come in!
AND small gift- lesson on Spanish fight!
Good day, dear guitarists and guitarists! In this article I will tell you and clearly demonstrate how to play the six on a guitar with a mute. In the previous article, I looked at what combat is and what types of combat there are.
However, the battle of 6 is far from the only battle on the guitar. On the site I also analyze Tsoi fight, which is even simpler (!), but it’s worth studying later.
What movements does a six fight consist of?
So, what movements does it consist of? In many songs?
Looks something like this
That's what it is In many songs. After we have completed the 6th movement, we begin to perform the 1st again - and so on.
Video tutorial on how to play fight six on guitar
For those who better perceive information visually, I have specially released my own guide about what a battle is, why it is needed - and I carefully tell and show how to play a six-stroke on the guitar (with muting).
A lot of boring stuff, but I advise you to watch it!
Fight six on guitar without muting
I decided to add some interesting information for you on this battle.
There is another type of battle 6, but it is less beautiful, but easier than the first (but I strongly point out to you that it is mandatory to be able to play the first battle!). This method of play replaces the "stub" movement with another. Instead of a plug, we draw from top to bottom (3, 2, 1 string) with our index finger. And there is no need to do any “ok”, and there is no need to plug the strings.
Useful information about fight six
The beat of 6 is used in many songs. Any, absolutely any guitarist knows this fight, because everyone starts with it. The only problem that can arise during training (most likely will arise) is the “stub” movement. This cannot be solved by any “special” techniques; everything is solved by practice. When I was studying, I always told myself: “I’ll do it 1000 times and then it will work.” And I repeated these tedious exercises over and over again - and in the end, I managed to do it perfectly.
I wish you to have the same patience and diligence - and you will succeed! This fight can be learned in a day, spending about 5 hours on it. Absolutely anyone can learn it in 2-3 days.
