The bass is also a type of guitar, also called the double bass.

In many performances, the bass player also chooses to play the cello as the bass, and Lele used it once on the Black Hole tour.

The principles of bass and guitar are the same, but getting started is much simpler than bass.

If you don't pursue solo and practice some cool slaps, the average Genyin warrior will be enough to handle many performances.

After all, most bands are not of high level and will not take the risk of playing solo, and the bassist only needs to "play cotton" with a bang, which is also the reason why the band is popular as a black bassplayer.

Conan's guitar level is good, at least among amateurs, but due to time constraints and hasty rehearsals, he was finally the bass player, and Lele succeeded Cao Wu as the guitarist.

Seeing Conan wearing the bass player decently, the audience was very face-saving and applauded with a smile.

Cao Wu was not empty-handed, the arrangement of this song was originally written according to the structure of two guitars, and during the recording, Lele recorded two tracks, one for bass and one for rhythm guitar.

Now that it is a live performance, Cao Wu hugged a folk guitar to sweep the rhythm.

"Are you ready?" asked Cao Wu as he turned back to Conan.

"OK!" Conan gestured.

Batu played with a few flowers with the drumstick in his hand, struck a few times, and said in his mouth: "one, two, three, go!"

Neatly strumming the strings, Cao Wu and Lele cooperate exquisitely, Conan is picking the bass strings with one finger on the side, playing the root note, but his body is swaying back and forth, the movements are exaggerated, the amplitude is huge, and it is very funny.

However, after the first eight beats, he stood beside Cao Wu and returned to seriousness.

That's where his cleverness comes in, both to make the show work and not to offend the guests.

After four eight beats, everyone sang the first line in unison.

“oh！life！”

"Oh!

The rest of the people stopped, and Cao Wu continued to sing in a voice that was completely different from the previous one, with a slight bubble sound.

“is bigger，”

"More significant,"

“it's bigger than you，”

"More significant than you think,"

“and you are not me，”

"And you're not me,"

“the lengths that i will go to，”

"Under Your Guidance,"

“the distance in your eyes。 ”

"How far am I going. ”

……

At first, the audience's attention was focused on Conan, wanting to see him perform more funny.

But Conan's serious expression and movements gradually made the audience turn their attention back to the song.

The slightly confused and sad tune, the young but lost heart, all passed from Cao Wu's singing to everyone's ears.

Huh?

In the impression of the audience who have listened to the songs of the Black Hole Band at the scene, the music style of the Black Hole Band is usually very fast, very heavy, and the lead singer has a high-pitched voice and is very impactful, and this song does not match the Black Hole Band in their impression.

But for audiences who have never heard of Black Hole, this rock music, which is a little different from their impression of rock music but has a bit of psychedelic feeling, sounds fresh and pleasing to the ear.

In the audience, Arthur examines the Black Hole band on stage.

He is a professional music critic who has worked with several major record labels, and this time he was invited by Columbia to write a review for Black Hole.

Arthur is a slight name in the circle, but he also has his own principles, and he only writes music reviews for those whose music can arouse his interest.

He's been following Black Hole for a long time, and as a rock fan, he certainly doesn't miss every Woodstock festival live.

He noticed this young rock band from China in the audience.

To this day, he can still recall the goosebumps he felt when he heard "Come as You Are", which was one of the few experiences he had when he listened to a song so cool that his soul soared.

He remembers mentioning Black Hole in his review of Woodstock and saying that this is a young band with a lot of potential, and if they can write more songs like "Come as You Are", they will be able to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one day!

Therefore, when he was contacted in Colombia and asked him to write a music review about black holes, he agreed without hesitation, which is what he has always wanted to do.

Columbia sent the album to his home, but he didn't listen to it for the first time, but bought the two previous Chinese albums of the Black Hole band and listened to them first.

As he expected, the Black Hole Band's accomplishments in rock music were not formed in a day or two, but over a long period of time.

They have written popular songs since high school, and before they went to college, they released an album that sold more than one million, and they can already be called a genius band.

Due to the cultural and linguistic barriers, he could not fully understand the meaning of the lyrics in those discursive rock songs.

But this did not prevent him from appreciating music, and therefore more intuitively felt the musical charm of the Black Hole Band.

It was because of this that he realized how much he underestimated the band.

He never imagined that rock music and national instruments could be blended so well, and when he heard the prelude to "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty", he stood up directly from his chair!

And it's not just this song, almost every song in the two albums is a new world and a new feeling for him.

He didn't have to understand the lyrics at all, just listening to the arrangement and singing skills was enough for him to appreciate the power of the black hole.

Each of the songs on these two albums can be taken out to create a style and lead a trend.

Usually in an album, there will always be a few songs to fill up, because good songs are always a scarce resource, and they are hard to find.

So the two albums that are all title songs are a little scary.

After listening to two Chinese albums, Arthur still did not listen to Black Hole's new album, but took the two Chinese albums with him, played them on a loop, and listened to them for a week.

After the novelty had completely passed, he took a day off and re-listened to the two albums.

This is a necessary preparation before he writes a music review.

A new song always has a freshness bonus, especially a good song.

When you first hear it, you can't help but play it over and over again, and at this time, your senses will stay on the surface of being stimulated by the music, and when the novelty fades, you will notice the deep technical level.

After a lot of preparation, Arthur opened the album "Rock or Bust".

Like many fans of Black Hole, Arthur's impression of the Black Hole band also has several labels, young, hot-blooded, genius, and rebellious.

He once thought that the song "Come as You Are" might be a song bought by a black hole, but after hearing the song "Losing My Religion" in the new album, he had to admit that while having the vitality of young people, the Black Hole Band also has a mindfulness far beyond its peers.

They are thinking.
