Squeaks are not particular.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the loudest and sharpest string squeaks happen when beginning a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/guitar-shifting-positions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shift<\/a> to a new position. We move up or down the fretboard before completely lifting the finger(s) and it creates a loud squeak.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, string squeaks can also occur as we wiggle around on a note that is already playing, finding a different or better \u201cfooting\u201d. We aren\u2019t moving much, but it\u2019s enough to bring on the curse of guitar squeak.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Listen Like Crazy for Squeaks<\/h2>\n<p>Step number one in getting rid of squeaks in our guitar playing is to become aware of them.<\/p>\n<p>We can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/better-listening\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Listen<\/a> like our life depends on it. Then even more.<\/p>\n<p>This sounds obvious, but it\u2019s not quite as simple as it sounds.<\/p>\n<h3>Rose-Colored Earmuffs<\/h3>\n<p>When we play guitar, we actually hear two things simultaneously. We hear what\u2019s coming out of the guitar, and we hear (in our heads) what we want it to sound like.<\/p>\n<p>Often, the louder of the two is what happens in our head.\u00a0 We think we\u2019re actively hearing the guitar, but if we record it and listen back, we will likely hear something different than we heard while playing it.<\/p>\n<p>I call this \u201cHearing the world through rose-colored earmuffs\u201d. It\u2019s an easy trap to fall into because we need both internal and external representations.<\/p>\n<p>We try to match the two, and that is one of the main goals in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/guitar-practice-vs-exercise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">practicing a piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Practice Hearing Both<\/h3>\n<p>The way forward is to \u201cstay in the room\u201d in guitar practice, hearing what is actually coming out of the instrument.\u00a0 And at the same time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/musical-expression-guitar-phrasing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">developing and refining<\/a> our inner version of the music.<\/p>\n<p>This way, we have an ever-evolving tune in our head that we aspire to. We\u2019re also sober enough to recognize what is actually happening in real-time.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, with practice, the two start to resemble each other.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span style=\"--tl-form-height-m:784.844px;--tl-form-height-t:564.562px;--tl-form-height-d:564.562px;\" class=\"tl-placeholder-f-type-shortcode_106209 tl-preload-form\"><span><\/span><\/span>\n<h2 id=\"habits\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Slow Down and Problem-Solve<\/h2>\n<p>Guitar music is fast. Even slow songs are fast.<\/p>\n<p>We have multiple lines of music, and complex \u201cinner visions\u201d of what we want to accomplish (like we were just talking about).<\/p>\n<p>One of the best and most useful practice skills we can nurture is the ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/slow-practice-classical-guitar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slow<\/a> down. And not just a little bit for one spin. But so slow that our muscle memory goes out the window and we have to actually know what we&#8217;re playing.<\/p>\n<p>When we play guitar at a crawl, we can observe (calmly, we hope) exactly how each note connects to the next. We begin to understand how the fretting hand moves and subtly shifts its weight to go from this note to this note.<\/p>\n<p>As we put the microscope on our playing, we begin to recognize the exact point that a squeak occurs. And this is where we strike gold because this is where the fix has to happen.<\/p>\n<p>If we can discover exactly when and how the squeak happens, we can set a plan to eradicate it. Until then, we&#8217;re just hoping, which will likely just distract us and\/or lead to frustration.<\/p>\n<h3>Nip It In the Bud<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, if we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/how-to-learn-classical-guitar-pieces\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">learn the piece well<\/a> to begin with, we can troubleshoot these spots as they arise.<\/p>\n<p>If we already play the music by muscle memory and just blast it out at high speeds all the time, it will be much more difficult to get rid of the squeaks.<\/p>\n<h3>Buckle Up for the Long Haul<\/h3>\n<p>As we set out to clean up our classical guitar technique and get rid of squeaks, keep in mind that Rome wasn\u2019t built in a day.<\/p>\n<p>We have to develop the habit of listening first. Then practice identifying where and how squeaks happen. Then practice eliminating them.<\/p>\n<p>In time, we recognize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/classical-guitar-lessons-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">common pitfalls<\/a> and move in advance to avoid them.<\/p>\n<p>This is the ultimate, and this is what we\u2019re shooting for. It\u2019s a habit of constant attention to every note, paired with the patient desire and dedication to connect them beautifully.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"tips\"><span style=\"--tl-form-height-m:153.188px;--tl-form-height-t:124.6406px;--tl-form-height-d:124.6406px;\" class=\"tl-placeholder-f-type-shortcode_195416 tl-preload-form\"><span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Enough Already: How to Not Squeak<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Scenario 1: First Release, Then Lift, Then Move<\/h2>\n<p>Squeaks often happen when we begin our move before releasing the prior note.<\/p>\n<p>To move along the wound guitar strings, you have to first lift, then move. Up, then over.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5083 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-play.jpg\" alt=\"aa-play\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-play.jpg 250w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-play-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Step 1. Release the Pressure<\/h3>\n<p>However, if you lift your finger off the string too quickly, you risk sounding the open string and creating string noise.<\/p>\n<p>So first release the pressure (stop pressing). In this step, one finger stays on the string. Simply let your finger tip \u201cde-activate\u201d and stop pressing.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2. Lift Straight Up<\/h3>\n<p>Next, lift your finger straight up off the string.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t have to move very far off the string, it simply needs to break contact with the string.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-release.jpg\" alt=\"aa-release\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-release.jpg 250w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-release-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Because you released the pressure first, this step should be absolutely silent.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3. Be On Your Way<\/h3>\n<p>Now you are free to move where you like in absolute stealth.<\/p>\n<p>Mind, however, that when you land in your new position, that you continue to listen to how to press the new notes, and be sure your finger position is accurate to begin with so that you don\u2019t have to shuffle around or adjust.<\/p>\n<p>The more attention you give this in your slow practice, the quicker it will become a positive habit.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lift.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lift.jpg\" alt=\"aa-lift\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lift.jpg 250w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lift-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>Practice This Slowly to Ingrain It<\/h3>\n<p>This 3-step process will eventually be the way you naturally move.<\/p>\n<p>Until that time, practice it slowly with great attention and awareness to each step.<\/p>\n<p>The more attention you give this in your slow practice, the quicker it will become a habit.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Scenario 2: Big, Intentional Slides and Glissandi<\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, the music demands a big, fat glissando. You need to slide up a wound string, and ideally make it sound good.<\/p>\n<h3>Method #1: Use the Puffy Pad<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-pad.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5082 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-pad.jpg\" alt=\"fingerpad to squeak less\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-pad.jpg 250w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-pad-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>One way to slide is to use the puffy pad of your finger.<\/p>\n<p>Your fingertip may be calloused and hard, which leads to more squeaking.<\/p>\n<p>But the pad of your finger is pillowy and soft, and mutes out many of the high metallic overtones and sounds that scrape and squeak.<\/p>\n<p>As a general rule, we don\u2019t use the pad so much because we can be more accurate and use less muscle with the tip. But desperate times call for desperate measures.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Method #2: Angle Back<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lean.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5079 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lean.jpg\" alt=\"aa-lean\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lean.jpg 250w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lean-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>If you are playing multiple notes in the slide, or just before the slide, you can also angle the finger(s) back.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it so that you are putting more finger on the string, and much of that is the soft tissue on the side of your finger.<\/p>\n<p>This one can come in hand in more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/polish-guitar-music-troubleshoot-tricky-spots\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technically challenging spots<\/a>, playing chords, or in fast passages.<\/p>\n<p>While not always possible, it is a viable option in many cases.\u00a0 It does put the left hand out of the optimal position and form.<\/p>\n<p>So this will need to be intentional and practiced.\u00a0 We can think of it as part of a choreography needed for the specific spot in the music.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Method #3: Lick It (Discreetly)<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lick.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5080 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lick.jpg\" alt=\"lick your finger\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lick.jpg 250w, https:\/\/classicalguitarshed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/aa-lick-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>If you have time, and really want to reduce the squeak, you can wet the tip of your sliding finger(s) with a bit of saliva just before sliding.<\/p>\n<p>Moistening the tip softens the skin and leads to quieter slides.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s especially good if a piece starts in a big slide. That way you have all the time in the world, and you get off to a good start.<\/p>\n<p>This can look a bit crass on stage, so be discreet. A fingertip brushing the lip is more subtle than sticking out your tongue. Though if you need to wet all your fingers (sliding a chord), do what you have to do.<\/p>\n<p>If this is your plan, be sure to practice it just like any other choreography in your pieces. Watching a video of yourself doing it will tell how well you\u2019re pulling it off.<\/p>\n<h4>Lute Lickers<\/h4>\n<p>As a side note, lute players frequently lick their fingers (mainly right-hand fingers, but still..). They\u2019re not ashamed. It\u2019s a regular part of technique and is widely accepted as the norm.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Lute players frequently lick their fingers. They do not appear to be ashamed of this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">When In Doubt, Slow Down and Figure It Out<\/h2>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest practice mistake most people make is going too fast.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s very hard to figure anything out if the notes are flying past quicker than we can truly hear them.<\/p>\n<p>If we want to change anything in our playing, we should start with slowing down and discovering exactly when, where, and how every little thing is happening.<\/p>\n<p>From there, we can find solutions and actually make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>Slow and steady wins the race.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Bonus Tip: No-Squeak Strings<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that other types of guitar strings claim to reduce the number of squeaks that are made?
