Cao Zige came over half a year ago, before the start of school, and he was naturally a little surprised to see that the old man still remembered himself: "Master, do you still remember me?"

The old man smiled: "I remember every guitar I sell." ”

Cao Zige was even more surprised: "Really?

The old man waved his hand: "It's not that I have a good memory, but the people who buy guitars from me, some people choose and buy their own guitars." And some of them are the guitars that I deliberately sell to the most suitable for them, and I naturally remember this part. ”

"What do you mean, the guitar I bought before was specially sold to me by you, and it is the most suitable guitar for me?"

Cao Zige didn't believe it, why is it so magical?

But come to think of it, maybe this old man was influenced by the surrounding art blocks, so he spoke so eloquently. Many people are like this in the small shops in the art district here, in order to increase the artistry and mystery.

When the old man saw that he didn't believe him, he didn't say anything, and asked, "What is the matter with your coming today?" Is there a problem with that guitar?"

Cao Zige said: "Ao, that's right, I've been relearning guitar basics recently, and Master said that I need to practice with a more standard guitar, so I thought about buying another standard guitar." ”

The old man smiled: "There is no standard guitar." ”

Cao Zige said: "It's the kind of guitar that has a more accurate timbre and tone, and it doesn't matter if the price is more expensive." ”

The old man paused, looked at him and said, "Young man, this kind of thing is a musical instrument, the quality must be up, regardless of the standard or not, it only depends on whether it is suitable for you." I have every guitar here, I make it myself, even if I make it, the same material, the same guitar, I dare not guarantee the tone, the effect is exactly the same, you say, where is the most standard guitar?"

"But...... Doesn't it mean that there is a standard for all the top instruments?

Cao Zige was a little puzzled.

The old man smiled disdainfully: "Hehe, standards have always been just the ideas of vulgar people." ”

"Uh......"

Cao Zige suddenly felt that his words were somewhat similar to some of Lin Bao's statements? Not everyone is suitable for the top instruments......

He couldn't help but look at Lin Bao next to him: "Master, look at this...... What are I going to do?"

Lin Bao was also a little surprised.

In particular, this old man's statement, in his opinion, is either an old god stick, taking advantage of the fame of the art district to fool buyers. Or maybe he's a master who really knows the instrument!

When the old man heard Cao Zige call Lin Bao "Master", he deliberately glanced at him.

He could see that Lin Bao was not a person who was proficient in the guitar, which could be seen from his fingers, which were a little rough and greasy, and he didn't even grind out the calluses, even if he could play, it wouldn't be too long to touch the guitar. Moreover, judging by his vision for many years, Lin Bao's temperament does not look like a guitar master.

But Cao Zige didn't look like a fool, how could he worship him as a teacher, the old man couldn't help but ask more: "You follow him to learn guitar?"

Cao Zige nodded: "Yes, master, my master is a guitar god, and I am just going to follow him to relearn the basics of guitar." ”

The old man's eyes were full of suspicion, and he turned to Lin Bao and said, "What 'the most standard guitar' did you ask him to choose?"

Lin Bao said honestly: "Yes, the master, his guitar skills are not stable, if you want to rebuild the foundation, you still need a guitar with a more standard tuning." ”

"!"

The old man suddenly glared at him, and his tone was a little stern, "He has already learned this kind of ground, what kind of foundation does he need to rebuild? Besides, do you think it is so easy to reshape the foundation? How can a person cultivate a sense of musicality be child's play? Where do you have the confidence to say that you can help him rebuild his sense of musicality? You are not teaching him, you are harming him!"

Cao Zige was taken aback by the old man's reaction.

Lin Bao smiled faintly, he knew what the old man meant.

In fact, this is also the reason why he has always recommended Cao Zige to choose the first agreement.

The second option he gave Cao Zige was not just to supplement the basic knowledge normally, but just like the old man said, reshape the foundation. In fact, it is a "slashing of muscles and bones" of a person's musicality, crushing and then reshaping. This is a big test for both the learner and the instructor.

For ordinary teachers, there is basically this kind of thinking, although the original intention is good, but the final result is more to bring a good embryo crooked, or even destroy.

But Lin Bao has this self-confidence!

As long as Cao Zige can persevere, Lin Bao can help him rebuild his sense of musicality, so as to move towards a true music master.

The old man saw that Cao Zige was not the kind of person who could persevere, so he sold Cao Zige a guitar that was not the best but most suitable for his musicality, and let him continue along this path.

He also thought that Lin Bao could not have this ability to really go down with Cao Zige, and the consequence would only be to ruin this good embryo, so his tone was suddenly so harsh.

Lin Bao didn't take a-for-tat, and still said in a gentle tone: "Master, I understand what you mean. However, since he wanted to try, why not let him try it himself. Maybe he'll be able to go on. ”

"Give it a try?"

The old man suddenly blew his beard and glared, "Is this something you can try if you want to? Ah? Do you know that you are hurting him? Even if he is willing to try, do you have the ability? Who gave you the confidence and courage?"

Lin Bao was helpless, so he had to say: "At this point, there is no need for the master to worry about it." ”

Seeing that the two of them met directly and faced each other like this, Cao Zige was also helpless, and was busy reconciling from the middle: "Master, master, don't you...... Actually, I just choose a better guitar with a more standard tone, and if I use it to practice the basics more, it won't have much impact......"

"You know what a fart!" the old man glared at him, and then snorted, "Forget it, anyway, you can do whatever you like, the old man has nothing to do with you, why bother to be unhappy here!

With that, he turned around and sat down behind the counter.

Cao Zige smiled bitterly.

No, it's just a better guitar......

He looked at Lin Bao, who was also a little helpless.

I didn't expect the old man to react so violently, but it can also be judged that the old man is a person who really understands musical instruments, but he doesn't know his own situation.

It should still be respected.

In the face of this kind of stubborn old craftsman, it was useless to explain to him more, so Lin Bao simply walked directly to the table next to him and picked up the guitar.

According to the old man, all the guitars here are made by him.

Lin Bao roughly walked around, basically the price of guitars is one or two thousand, and below one thousand, it is really shabby to even get started.

Three or four thousand up, all the way to 10,000 yuan, and even tens of thousands of yuan of guitars, there is naturally a big difference in materials. But to his surprise, the guitars here are all made by meticulous craftsmen.

There is no solution to the problem of sound quality caused by the material, but this kind of manual work can really see the intention of the producer. A 3,000-yuan guitar, produced by a master and mass-produced in a factory, must have a completely different effect, or even a huge difference.

And the guitars here, regardless of the material and price, are all carefully made!

In Lin Bao's heart, he couldn't help but have a lot of respect for the old man who was sitting angrily over there.

He finally walked over to a few guitars priced between 10,000 and 20,000 and picked up one of them.

"Ding, ding, knock......"

Lin Bao tuned the six strings one by one, played them, and then put them back.

Then I picked up the second guitar, tuned the strings, tried the sound, plucked it a few more times in a row before putting it back, and then picked up the third.

has the experience of being an invincible singer in the world, and his ear power is naturally not covered.

Now he uses his ears to tune, even better than those professional tuners.

Next to him, Cao Zige was staring closely at Lin Bao's movements.

In fact, he hadn't seen too many scenes of Lin Bao using the guitar. The admiration for the latter comes from the two lines of playing and singing on the street that day, as well as the song score that even Devil Feng needs to "explore".

And now, seeing that Lin Bao actually relied on his own ears to tune, and after the six strings were tuned, he would improvise and sing a few times as a whole, with fast hand speed, and also using very complex techniques, Cao Zige was even more convinced that his master was right.

Seeing the subtle knowledge, it was not only Cao Zige's thoughts, but also the reason for the surprise in the hearts of the old man sitting behind.

He had a preconceived idea that Lin Bao was a fool, he didn't even grind out the cocoons on his hands, and he still had to teach people the guitar?

But then, Lin Bao's continuous tuning took him by surprise. Obviously, this is a performance that a very good person with a good command of the guitar can have.

And what the old man didn't expect the most was Lin Bao's terrifying grasp of pitch!

The old man has been making professional guitars for decades, and he thinks that even the old craftsmen in the top musical instrument industry in the circle who have unpaid salaries cannot compare.

It is precisely because of this that when he looks at Lin Bao's tuning, he can see something that Cao Zige can't see at all.

That is, in his ears, those guitars that Lin Bao has tuned one by one, basically every string, are tuned to a position where he seems to have no flaws!

This ear power, this technique, is absolutely terrifying!
