Chapter 53: Scale Modulation
The good brothers opened the estrangement and got back together, which untied a knot in Liu Jingxin's heart.
He was very happy, so he went to the food stall with Zhang Xun and drank a lot of wine until it broke. When he woke up and opened his eyes, he found that he was already lying on the bed at home, the dazzling sun was shining on him, and he was still wearing yesterday's clothes and pants, and he had not even taken off his shoes, and he smelled of alcohol.
Liu Jingxin rubbed his sore temples and sat up from the bed, found his mobile phone from under the bed, and called Zhang Xun, wanting to ask Zhang Xun if he was okay.
turned out to be very embarrassing, Zhang Xun not only didn't have anything, but also said that it was the residence where he sent Liu Jingxin back.
In this game of brothers' drinking, they were completely defeated!
Liu Jingxin smiled helplessly, agreed with Zhang Xun to "fight again" another day, and said ruthlessly that he must send Zhang Xun home next time......
After ending the call, Liu Jingxin put down his mobile phone, got up and went to the bathroom to turn on the sprinkler to release hot water, wash off his alcohol, change into clean clothes, and feel a lot more refreshed.
He had just changed his clothes and was about to turn on QQ Music to see if his song had received any comments, but Tong Wenxuan called at this time.
"Hey?" Liu Jingxin answered the call suspiciously.
Tong Wenxuan asked, "Didn't you come to the rehearsal room today?"
Liu Jingxin slapped his head violently, and then remembered that today was the class time agreed with Tong Wenxuan, so he said embarrassedly: "I drank too much last night and just woke up." I'm so sorry!"
Tong Wenxuan said: "Oh, it's okay, then you have a good rest." ”
"Where are you?" asked Liu Jingxin.
Tong Wenxuan hesitated for a moment and replied honestly: "I'm at the door of the rehearsal room." ”
Liu Jingxin hurriedly said: "You wait for me, I'll take a taxi over now." ”
After ending the call, Liu Jingxin left the residence with his piano bag, bought something to eat at the supermarket opposite the community, and then took a taxi to the rehearsal room.
When Liu Jingxin arrived at the rehearsal room, Tong Wenxuan was sitting by the grille door on the first floor of the basement leaning against the guitar in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Liu Jingxin hurriedly took out the key to open the grille door.
Tong Wenxuan gave up his position and stood up and said, "No, no, I'm embarrassed, I should call you first." ”
Although the two are now friends, they are still polite during the guitar lessons, just like the relationship between students and tutors.
Knowing what role you are in at what time is a very important way for people to get along with each other.
Although Tong Wenxuan has fulfilled her wish, she also said that she still wants to continue learning guitar.
Aside from making money or not, since Liu Jingxin has accepted this student, as long as people don't give up, he has the obligation to continue teaching.
The two entered the rehearsal room, and as usual, Liu Jingxin first helped Tong Wenxuan tune the piano correctly, and then began today's teaching.
It has been a long time since Liu Jingxin arranged normal homework for Tong Wenxuan for the last time. Since Liu Jingxin knew Tong Wenxuan's true wish, he temporarily changed the course for Tong Wenxuan, and all the training was specifically for the song "Lady".
Since Tong Wenxuan has fulfilled his wish on Grandma Tong's birthday, and then has a guitar teaching course, there is no doubt that he will return to the normal track, after practicing the basic fingerstyle training of the right hand, he should cooperate with the left hand to carry out the most basic scale model training (students who don't know much can find "Hanon" to listen to).
The so-called scale modulation is actually an upgraded version of climbing lattice (chromatic scale practice), in which the left and right hands play according to a fixed pattern from low to high according to different keys, which can be regarded as basic training for most lovers of musical instruments at any stage.
Liu Jingxin often practiced, including pentatonic step modulation, and then subdivided down to pentatonic scale modulation in different keys.
Although the scale is very basic, it is very important, it is equivalent to the technical "foundation" of a guitarist, and what kind of height can be reached in the future must depend on the depth of the "foundation".
Liu Jingxin remembered Peng Conan's request, even if he felt that it was very inconvenient, he still took things out to eat before coming back, and then took out his piano to practice the scale with Tong Wenxuan.
Tong Wenxuan is a beginner and knows very little about music theory, so Liu Jingxin decided to let Tong Wenxuan start with the C major scale model, and at the same time cooperate with the explanation of basic music theory, which can not only help Tong Wenxuan practice left-handed coordination, tone, and finger flexibility, but also enhance Tong Wenxuan's understanding of music theory knowledge, so that she can achieve fundamental improvement, instead of learning only a few simple guitar playing and singing like most folk guitar beginners, and not knowing anything about real music theory.
At first, Tong Wenxuan practiced very seriously, but this kind of practice was too boring and boring, and after practicing for more than an hour, she couldn't practice anymore.
"Can you teach me to play another song? I've practiced the chords in my left hand pretty well, don't believe me. Tong Wenxuan shook her sour fingers, and then showed Liu Jingxin the results of her training.
Tong Wenxuan did work hard enough, and the change of chords in his left hand was indeed much smoother than before, but there was still a certain gap between playing and singing accompaniments independently.
However, in order to enhance Tong Wenxuan's enthusiasm, Liu Jingxin immediately agreed: "Okay, then let's practice a song next." I thought about it for a while, there are two simplified versions of the song that are very suitable for you, namely Tang Lei's "Lilacs" and Pu Shu's "White Birch Forest", you can pick one. ”
Tong Wenxuan raised her hand and scratched her head and said, "I've heard both of these songs, but I don't have a particularly deep impression, can you play them for me first?"
Liu Jingxin smiled helplessly, took the guitar and began to play.
These two songs are in 3/4 time, and the basic fingerstyle technique "5 (6) 32123 (strings)" is used in the right hand, and they are both in G major, so the chords used in the left hand are similar, but the mood and content of the songs are completely different.
"Lilacs" was created by Tang Lei to commemorate his friend's girlfriend who died in a car accident, and the whole song is full of sad emotions both in melody and lyrics, which makes people cry and heartbreak after listening to it.
And "Birch Forest" is a poignant love story: a Soviet girl spent her life waiting in the birch forest of her hometown, waiting for the return of her lover who had died on the battlefield of World War II, although she knew that she could not wait until death.
Although it was just a demonstration, Liu Jingxin still sang very seriously and played very emotionally, so Tong Wenxuan's eyes were red when he heard it, and he almost didn't cry.
"These two songs are very good, but they are too heavy, and my nose is sour when I listen to them, and I feel very panicked. That one...... Are there any songs that are a little lighter?" asked Tong Wenxuan weakly.
After Liu Jingxin thought silently for a moment, he thought of a song that Tong Wenxuan would definitely like, and he asked with a smile: "Have you heard "Chengdu"?"
