Hello, everyone. I want to learn some knowledge about the guitar. There are two main playing techniques: broken chords and strumming. My question is, in the video below, does everything before the 47-second mark fall under broken chords?





---



If it is broken chords, then is this type of broken chord playing not available in BIAB? Or is it rare?

The two main ways to play an acoustic guitar are fingerpicking, where you pluck strings individually with your fingertips, and strumming where you hit multiple strings at once (usually with a pick, but not necessarily).

By 'broken chords' you might mean arpeggios. Basically, strumming and arpeggios are the two different ways to play chords on a guitar. With arpeggios, you pluck each string separately in a sequence.

Use these RealTracks to compare the basic styles:
Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 (#405)
Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 120 (#522)

Beyond this there are countless variations and styles of playing, and there are many that mix arpeggios with strumming and so on.

To find a style similar to the one in your video, try entering some combination of "guitar acoustic songwriter" or "guitar acoustic folk", or "guitar acoustic fingerpicking" in the filter. I found the following one that is somewhat similar:
Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Songwriter FolkSlapQuinn Ev 120 (#2933)
There might be other suitable ones. It could also be a good suggestion for a future RT acoustic guitar style.

yes. I love 2933.

**RT2933** is excellent. I think there should be more RealTracks of the **2933** type, as this style is very practical.
