The essence of the technique is the high-speed switching between the forehand and the backhand.

Playing the guitar normally (non-left-handed) with the guitarist's left hand with the palm facing up when pressing or tapping the strings, this posture is forehand. The backhand, on the other hand, is to raise the elbow of the hand, palm downward, and fingers to touch the strings from above like playing a piano - in addition to the uncomfortable posture itself, because of the lack of thumb involvement, the strength and stability are difficult to grasp.

In the process of rapid playing, the forehand and backhand are frequently switched, and the large swing of the arm will form an "afterimage", hence the name of the shadowless hand.

The technique was not created by Lin Hai, but by American electric guitarist Michael-Angelo.

Anglo is known as the fastest guitarist in the world, and his unique way of playing the quad is sure to leave first-time fans stunned.

Lin Hai's two-handed mallet and backhand stringing skills are imitations of the other party.

……

Speaking of Andrew, this guy is a bit out of luck.

His skills are unquestionable (although there are always media criticisms of him for being sensational), but he didn't catch the good times.

Anglo has been known since the 80s, and in the 90s, he even played a guitarist with the famous rock band "Aerosmith" and toured the United States. However, heavy metal rock, known for its speed, has sunset in this period – or in other words, the golden age of American rock 'n' roll has passed.

It can be said that if Andrew had been born even ten years earlier, his achievements would definitely be another height.

Andrew's real well-known foreign music fans are after the Internet era has come to an end, and someone has posted the practice videos he once recorded on the Internet (if you are interested, you can search for it yourself), and people know that the electric guitar can still be played like this.

As for the current (1998), although Andrew has actually released two albums, none of the people present have heard of him, let alone seen his live performances, so they will be shocked by Lin Hai's performance.

……

Yutaka Tanabe walked up to Lin Hai and said, "I lost. ”

Lin Hai shook his head and said, "I'm just playing tricks." ”

Yes, strictly speaking, Lin Hai did not outperform his opponent in speed, and the skill of the Shadowless Hand only increased the amount of notes and timbre changes per unit of time, thus giving the illusion of overspeed.

"Are your hands alright?"

Lin Hai noticed that Yutaka Tanabe's right arm was trembling a little, and the knot of his little finger was even more bruised.

"You should try to minimize this style of play in the future, it will hurt your body too much. ”

"You too, if you play like that, your shoulder will hurt easily. ”

Hikaru Utada listened to the side and thought the conversation between the two was interesting.

At first hearing, it is-for-tat, listening carefully is sympathy, and then thinking about it, it is sympathy.

Hikaru Utada said angrily: "You two have to pay attention, what should I do if I am really injured?"

While talking, Kazumi Watanabe and others also came over.

Watanabe nodded and said, "That's right, your body is not enough to withstand this kind of high-intensity performance, so it's better to avoid it as much as possible in the future." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Lin Hai with a smile and said, "Look at what you played, I have a little itchy hands." ”

Lin Hai hurriedly handed the guitar to Kazumi Watanabe.

Watanabe picked up the guitar and didn't adjust the tone, just playing a paragraph.

The song is not fast, and the difficulty itself is not great, but when Watanabe finished playing, Lin Hai has to admit that Jiang is still old and spicy.

Watanabe's handling of details is nothing short of textbook.

Lin Hai understood, knowing that Watanabe was pointing at him.

"Taught. "Salute Watanabe.

Watanabe accepted the salute, and was very pleased with Lin Hai's point, and said, "It's good that you understand, you don't want to learn from those rock musicians, jazz is the most suitable for you." ”

As soon as Watanabe's words fell, a dissatisfied voice suddenly came from the door.

"I don't agree with that!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw a beautiful man holding a cigarette and walking over with an unhappy face.

"Boss. ”

The store manager hurriedly greeted him and whispered to the other party what had just happened.

……

Watanabe Kazumi asked Lin Hai with a smile: "I didn't expect it, right?"

I really didn't expect it.

Lin Hai guessed Watanabe's old friend, but he never expected that the manager of this store was not from the jazz circle at all.

HYDE, the lead singer of the famous rock band Rainbow Band (L'Arc~en~Ciel), is also a skilled rock guitarist.

When it comes to Japanese guitarists, two "showmen" cannot fail to mention.

One of them is Hideto Matsumoto, the guitarist of the band X-JAPAN, who passed away not long ago, and his stage name is HIDE (ヒデ).

And the other one,It's the one in front of me.,Rainbow band lead singer and guitarist Hideto Takai.,Stage name HYDE (ハイド)。

The two showmen are often compared side by side.

Hideto Takai also used the stage name HIDE when he first debuted, but at that time Hideto Matsumoto had already become famous, so he changed his name.

For Chinese music fans, HIDE is more famous, in addition to his superb guitar skills, it is probably not unrelated to his untimely death.

In Japan, the fame of the two showmen is comparable, and HYDE's achievements are even higher.

To put it mildly, dying early is not as good as living better after all.

Of course, HYDE's strength should not be underestimated.

HYDE IS VERSATILE, AND IN ADDITION TO SINGING, HE ALSO SPECIALIZES IN INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS GUITAR, HARMONICA, AND SAXOPHONE. He is also very creative, especially lyrics, and he single-handedly wrote the lyrics for all the works of the Rainbow Band.

HYDE's later appearance as a "national treasure" singer is also related to his high emotional intelligence.

HYDE is very popular in the circle and has never had scandals, and at the same time, compared with a group of well-known musicians such as Tetsuya Komuro, he is also one of the few artists who has not had an "economic crisis".

This probably has something to do with the environment in which he grew up.

His parents are not insiders, but the owners of a Japanese-style bar, and they have been exposed to it since childhood, which has given HYDE a good business acumen.

Well......

No wonder he wants to open a bar, in a sense, this is also a family inheritance.

……

When HYDE and the store manager talked, they seemed very modest, but as they spoke, their eyes gradually sharpened.

"I see. ”

After HYDE finished talking to the store manager, he walked straight up to Shinji Takeda and said, "I need an explanation." ”

"Explain, explain what?" Takeda's eyes dodged.

"I'm a friend to you, but you're hiding something from me, aren't you going to explain?"

HYDE has been busy with work for the past two days, and he didn't know what Takeda Shinji had done, and after listening to the store manager, his mood suddenly became bad.

With a little use of his brain, HYDE can guess the little abacus in Takeda's heart. It's nothing in normal times, the positioning of this store is originally a social place, and it is normal for artists to make friends with each other.

However, Takeda's reputation is now ......

HYDE couldn't imagine what serious consequences would be caused by taking in Shinji Takeda.

It's good that business is plummeting, but even HYDE's own reputation is going to stink.

HYDE stared at Shinji Takeda, ostensibly waiting for the other party to explain, but in fact it was obvious that you are not welcome here.

Shinji Takeda also understood this, and left in disgrace without even saying hello.

……

Lin Hai glanced at Shinji Takeda's back and immediately left him behind. He had a gut feeling that the two might not cross paths again anytime soon.

HYDE GREETED A FEW SENIORS AND TURNED TO LIN HAI.

He has been here for a while, and he was afraid of disturbing other people, so he has been standing at the door to watch Lin Hai's performance, and he admires Lin Hai's superb piano skills very much.

IN ORDER TO AVOID A MISUNDERSTANDING BY LIN HAI, HYDE DELIBERATELY EXPLAINED: "I HAVE WORKED WITH TAKEDA, BUT WE ONLY APPRECIATE EACH OTHER, AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP. ”

Lin Hai waved his hand and said, "For me, he is already in the past. Someone told me that if you want to enter the entertainment industry, you must be prepared to live like a year. Takeda has planted such a big heel, I'm afraid that he won't be able to turn over in five hundred years......"

"Isn't that the Monkey King?"

When HYDE finished speaking, everyone laughed.

The Monkey King that HYDE said is the old grandson in "Journey to the West", not the Kakarot who likes to rub waves.

In Japan, in addition to "Dream of Red Mansions", the other three of the four famous Chinese novels have great influence.

Take "Journey to the West" as an example, Japan put "Journey to the West" on the screen in 1978 - of course, there is no respect for the original work, and it is a mess from the character design to the plot. Because of this, Huaxia gritted his teeth and filmed the classic 86 version of "Journey to the West" under limited conditions.

Although the "Journey to the West" filmed in Japan deviated from the original work, the Japanese audience still watched it with relish, and it was quite kind, at least it was not like a certain stick country, not to mention the remake, and to change the nationality of Sun Wukong.

……

JOKINGLY, HYDE SAID TO LIN HAI: "YOUR SKILLS ARE GREAT, DO YOU HAVE YOUR OWN BAND?"

"Not yet. ”

KNOWING THAT LIMHI DIDN'T HAVE A BAND YET, HYDE BECAME HAPPY AND ASKED, "ARE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING RAINBOW?"

Watanabe said with a straight face: "No wonder you were so excited just now, it turned out that you were going to pull people into the gang!"

HYDE hurriedly apologized to Watanabe.

He has always been modest, but just now he was happy to see the hunt, and when he heard that Watanabe was going to take Lin Hai to the point of no return, he couldn't help but refute it.

Watanabe wasn't angry, just joking.

He smiled and said, "I advise you not to waste your efforts, this kid is very assertive." ”

……

Lin Hai really has no plans to join other people's bands, even if it is a band like Rainbow.

The reason is simple, he needs the band to have himself at its core.

Lin Hai said euphemistically: "I am planning to form a band recently. ”

HYDE just mentioned it, and when he saw Lin Hai's refusal, he didn't continue to persuade him.

He turned to Yutaka Tanabe and asked, "What about you, are you interested in joining Rainbow?"

Yutaka Tanabe was even more simply than Lin Hai refused: "No." ”

After speaking, Yutaka Tanabe hesitated for a moment and asked Lin Hai, "Can I join your band?"

"Hahaha......"

Kazumi Watanabe burst out laughing and said to HYDE, "How do you feel now?"

HYDE SAID HELPLESSLY: "GENIUS IDEAS ARE ALWAYS DIFFERENT. ”

What he meant by saying this was also to tell Lin Hai euphemistically that he didn't have to worry about his face.

Lin Hai understood and said to Yutaka Tanabe with a smile: "Of course, you are welcome to join." ”

Lin Hai's statement that he formed a band was not a whim, he wanted to make his own music, and the band would have to be formed sooner or later, but there were no suitable people for a while.

After seeing Takashi Tanabe's technique, Lin Hai moved his mind to pull him into the gang, he didn't mention it just now, but it was inconvenient to speak in front of everyone, but he didn't expect Tabetaka to take the initiative to send him to the door.

Then what else is there to say, take it!

……

HYDE WAS NOT UPSET BY YUTAKA TANABE'S REFUSAL, AND SAID TO HIM, "I JUST HEARD THAT YOU ARE GOING TO COME TO MY SHOP TO WORK?"

Yutaka Tanabe nodded.

"Come directly after school in the future, I open early here, there are no guests in the afternoon, you can practice casually." ”

"Thank you. ”

"Do you have a stage name?"

"Yes...... No. ”

Yutaka Tanabe looked at Lin Hai.

Lin Hai scratched his head and explained to HYDE: "Tanabe's stage name is KAI, and it just so happens that my stage name is also KAI......"

"What a coincidence. ”

"When I first debuted, I also collided with my senior's stage name, and then he often came to my place for drinks, and I apologized to him......"

You know he's talking about HIDE.

Watanabe Kazumi sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity......"

"yes. HYDE NODDED: "IF HE HADN'T HAD AN ACCIDENT, HE WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE HIGHER ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE FUTURE." Speaking of which, have you heard of Akimi Oshima, a freelance writer who has a good relationship with HIDE's seniors. It's a pity that she hasn't been here since something happened to her senior......"

HYDE'S TONE WAS FULL OF REGRET.

Except for Yutaka Tanabe, the rest of the people present look at me, I look at you, and their expressions are very strange.

Watanabe coughed and said, "You probably don't know that Akimi Oshima is now Lin Hai's agent. ”

"Huh? Is that so?"

HYDE was stunned for a moment, and then said to Lin Hai enthusiastically: "If it is convenient, please say hello to Miss Oshima for me......"

There is a problem.

Lin Haihu looked at HYDE suspiciously, and always felt that the enthusiasm shown by this guy was the same as that of Kenji Kawai at the beginning.

If I have to say, this product is much better than the golden retriever.

SEEING THAT LIN HAI DIDN'T LOOK AT HIM RIGHT, HYDE PATTED HIS HEAD AND SAID WITH A SMILE: "DON'T GET ME WRONG, I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ABOUT MISS OSHIMA, I JUST RESPECT HER VERY MUCH......"

HYDE EXPLAINED A FEW WORDS BRIEFLY.

Before the formation of Rainbow Band, he used to mix in underground bands, and at that time he was mainly active in Osaka.

"Miss Oshima is a native of Osaka, and she helped me a lot at the time, and she was also my earliest fan - no, I should say a confidant. ”

HYDE said embarrassedly, "I used HIDE as my stage name when I debuted, and to be honest, I was jealous of HIDE seniors...... Later, Miss Oshima told me that you are who you are, and you are unique......"

Watanabe asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Is it really just respect?"

HYDE SMILED FREELY: "I USED TO LIKE HER, BUT NOW, I HAVE FOUND SOMEONE I WANT TO BE WITH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE......"

Watanabe asked curiously, and HYDE pretended to be profound.

Lin Hai said, "It's Oishi Hui, right?"

HYDE WAS SURPRISED, "HOW DO YOU KNOW?"

This time, it was Lin Hai's turn to pretend to be profound.

……

Watanabe's face turned strange.

Megumi Oishi used to be a weather announcer for the Asahi Shimbun and was a well-known beauty, and because she was so beautiful, she was even drawn into her manga by the author of Crayon Shin-chan.

However, I have the impression that she is not low (actually 167 cm), and HYDE's height is only 161 cm......

If Lin Hai knew Watanabe's thoughts, he would say to him, don't worry about it, these two people will have a beautiful life in the future.

……

Seeing that it was debunked, HYDE generously admitted it.

His acquaintance with Megumi Oishi has the feeling of an idol drama.

For a long time, when asked about the women she likes in interviews, HYDE replied that it was "Megumi Oishi", and as a result, she participated in a TV show not long ago, and the program team specially invited Megumi Oishi to the scene as a special surprise......

"Where is the surprise, it is completely frightened!"

HYDE SAID IN ANNOYANCE: "MY MIND WAS COMPLETELY BLANK AT THE TIME, AND I DIDN'T EVEN DARE TO ASK FOR THE PHONE NUMBER ......"

Watanabe said, "So she doesn't actually know you like her?"

HYDE SCRATCHED HIS HEAD AND SAID, "YES, PROBABLY, YOU KNOW......"

"Then you need to hurry. ”

"That's what I said, but ...... Forget it, let's look at fate. ”

I can't see that HYDE is quite shy.

Lin Hai said to him: "Don't worry, you will meet again." ”

And it's not too late.

If history doesn't change much, the two will meet again at the Ignite the Heart Concert at the end of the year, and they will start a family the next year, and until Lin Hai crosses, nothing will happen.

……

The topic went off track.

HYDE took the initiative to bring the topic back, and he said to Yutaka Tanabe, "Have you thought about changing your stage name?"

Yutaka Tanabe looked at Lin Hai: "You are the captain, you decide." ”

Lin Hai asked, "Do you want me to decide?" Are you sure you won't regret it?"

Yutaka Tanabe became nervous: "It can't be a strange name, right?"

Lin Hai said, "Zoro, what do you think?"

Yutaka Tanabe gestured and asked, "Zorro or Zolo?"

The former is a masked knight starring Alain Delon, and the latter is a mass-produced model from Mobile Suit V Gundam, which was released a few years ago.

"Neither. Z-O-R-O，Zoro。 ”

"No problem. ”

Tataka Tanabe breathed a sigh of relief, if not a strange name.

Yutaka Tanabe doesn't care about the reason, someone cares.

Hikaru Utada asked, "Why is it called Zoro?"

"Don't you all read comics?"

Everyone shook their heads.

That's right, this group of returnees, Xianchong and old men don't usually read comics.

Moreover, "One Piece" has only been serialized for less than a year, and its fame is not as great as it was later.

"Zoro is a swordsman, and he specializes in the three-sword stream. ”

Lin Hai explained it briefly, it was not easy to explain too clearly, in case Yutaka Tanabe minded the little green on Zoro's head, it would not be fun.

"I see. ”

Hikaru Utada nodded and asked again, "Have you thought of the name of your band?"

Lin Hai didn't understand why she cared so much, but he still nodded and said, "I just thought about it, my band is called One-Piece." ”

"Woo ......"

Utada Hikaru flashed far away all of a sudden, looked at Lin Hai with disgust, and said, "You still dare to say that you don't have quirks......"

"Huh?"

Lin Hai was stunned by her reaction, and then reacted violently.

One-piece, in English, means dress.

It seems that Xiong Guang regards Lin Hai as a lover of "female form".

It won't work if you don't explain it clearly.

"You're mistaken. "One-piece" is the manga I just mentioned, and it's currently being serialized on Jump, so if you look back, you'll find out......"

"I'll trust you for once. ”

Hikaru Utada crossed his hands on his hips, leaned over and asked, "Next, aren't you going to invite me to join the gang?"

Lin Hai glanced at Utada Terumi, and Terumi Dad had a smile in his eyes, and he had no intention of objecting.

Lin Hai looked at Hikaru Utada again, and said with a smile: "Your words, let's talk about it when the evil dragon is defeated......"
