Chapter 126: Classical Guitar
As soon as the sound of the piano came out of the speaker, Li Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Originally, in this kind of empty, noisy square, the effect of street performance would be greatly reduced, and the combination of an introductory folk guitar and a resistance speaker can be imagined.
Li Dong felt very ashamed, and subconsciously wanted to cover his face, which was too embarrassing.
But now he is as poor as anything, and he can only bite the bullet.
And his requirements are very low, he is not afraid to earn less, just enough for him to eat every day.
Because the quality of the speaker is very poor, the microphone is even more lo, so he is a little embarrassed to sing, so he simply plays a few guitar tunes, at least it looks a little forced.
In his previous life, Li Dong learned classical guitar at the beginning, and he really worked hard for several years to lay the foundation, and later learned folk guitar in order to play and sing in a bar.
As for the ballads, finger playing, ukulele and electric guitar or something, I've played it, but it's definitely not good, but it's definitely okay.
But Li Dong knew in his heart that if he was asked to play classical tunes today, the effect would definitely be a big hit.
Because classical guitars are demanding on fingering, while folk guitars have narrow fretboards, they are difficult to master with the left hand.
Classical guitars have strict requirements for playing posture, holding the piano, finger touch angles, etc.
Moreover, the folk guitar is a steel string, and the playing technique is very standardized and profound.
One of the biggest differences is that the timbre is completely different, from the headstock, knobs, neck, strings, amps, bridges, and so on.
For example, the folk guitar is steel strings with a crisp and bright tone, and the classical guitar is a nylon string with a deep and heavy tone.
With the steel strings of a folk guitar, you can't play the essence of a classical guitar at all, and even the least kneading of the strings is not a taste.
Not to mention that the piano in his hand is just an entry-level folk guitar, which is very old, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in tatters.
So Li Dong can only play a few simple guitar songs, like Hisaishi's "Castle in the Sky" and Carpenters's "Yesterday Once More".
Of course, there is also the most classic "Canon" in the previous life, but Li Dong played the simplest version.
The place where Li Dong is located is the corner of the square on the left bank of the Pujiang River, which seems very remote, so there is very little flow of people.
He sat on the speaker, his head down, and played it over and over again.
Now he was in a bad mood, and he remembered the girl as he flicked, and then his mind was full of her shadow.
His mood has also changed, so the more he plays, the more he feels.
Although the tone and feel of this broken guitar in his hand are very poor, who made him play the tune well.
In addition, Li Dong's emotions have been completely invested in the music, and the beautiful and euphemistic sound of the piano, with a trace of sadness and sigh, makes everyone who hears the sound of the piano can't help but stop.
They can clearly feel a helpless sentimentality from the music, and even touch the softest place in their hearts.
As Li Dong's piano continued to echo around, people began to come over to admire it, and in the end, more and more.
Everyone listened to the music and looked at the boy in front of them.
The boy was pale and very tired, and with his dirty clothes and messy hair, he looked extremely depressed.
A worn-out guitar, and that speaker with very poor sound, makes the tone very poor.
Even so, they listened attentively.
This boy played these tunes, and it was so beautiful.
They could tell from the sound of the piano that this down-and-out boy must be a man with a story.
Because of such a euphemistic and warm song, it should have made people feel as if they were in a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, but I don't know why, they heard a faint sadness from the music.
When everyone listens to it, they can't help but feel the urge to cry.
Li Dong lowered his head and played for a long time, his mood became worse and worse, so that he could no longer play.
But as soon as he looked up, he was stunned.
Maybe he was too involved in the relationship, and he didn't pay attention to the situation around him at all.
I don't know when, there were dozens of people in front of Li Dong, all of whom were quietly listening to his performance.
The abrupt stop of the music made everyone a little dazed, but they all applauded politely.
One of the foreign girls with blond hair wiped her eyes, and then ran over very excitedly, threw a note with a large denomination into the piano case, and did not forget to give Li Dong a thumbs up.
Immediately afterwards, others also donated generously and threw money into Li Dong's piano case.
Li Dong was a little confused, what is the situation......
He glanced at the piano case, and after only a moment's effort, there were already dozens of yuan in the piano case.
Seeing that everyone was so supportive, Li Dong hurriedly waved to them to express his gratitude.
A cute girl with a piano case on her back walked over with a smile and threw a ten-yuan bill into the piano case.
"What are the names of these tunes you just played?"
Li Dong looked up at the other party, the girl was born white and clean, wearing a plaid skirt, canvas shoes on her feet, and long flowing hair, a typical literary and artistic young woman.
"The first two songs are "Castle in the Sky" and "Yesterday Reappeared", and the third song is just a casual ...... when I usually practice the piano."
When the girl heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Do you know how to play classical guitar?"
Seeing Li Dong nodding, the girl hurriedly took off the piano case and took out a classical guitar from it.
"Can you play a classical piece with this instrument?"
Li Dong was stunned by his sister.
"I also like to play classical guitar, but I don't play it well......"
After the girl finished speaking, she smiled a little shyly, and then handed over the guitar.
Li Dong smiled bitterly, took the guitar and put it on his body, using the standard posture of a classical guitar.
At this time, some people in the square saw that Li Dong was full of people, and they all ran over to join in the fun.
And some people who were originally about to leave, seeing that Li Dong had changed the piano, also stayed and wanted to continue listening.
Even when he came to this world, Li Dong would try to find time to play the classical guitar for an hour every day.
No, he just likes to play, after all, he learned the classical guitar at the beginning.
But recently, I've been busy with music studio things, and I haven't played for a month or two.
Musical instruments, if you don't practice for a few days, you will be unfamiliar.
So Li Dong was holding this classical guitar, and he was inexplicably a little nervous.
He didn't dare to play those classic songs, so he chose a "romance of love" that he was good at in his previous life, and then slowly plucked the strings.
After changing the piano, the feeling of the sound of the piano completely changed.
The classical guitar is the most artistic of the guitar, and together with the piano and violin, it is known as the world's three classic musical instruments.
At the height of classicism, Beethoven once said, "The guitar is very rich in tone and harmony, like a small symphony orchestra."
As soon as the melody of this piece sounded, everyone's mood quickly calmed down.
The beautiful and simple melody of the music is completely integrated with the clear breaking chords, and the Left Bank Square is already full of artistic atmosphere.
Everyone felt comfortable and warm, as if they were on the beach, and a picture naturally appeared in their minds.
The secluded beach, the vast sky, the blue sea, and the salty sea breeze on your cheeks make for a relaxing feeling.
Until the end of the last note, the surroundings were still quiet.
Behind them was the noisy Left Bank square, but everyone was not affected in the slightest and was still immersed in the music.
