Looking at Xia Shamo and Chen Haoran, who were excitedly browsing the score, Cheng Xiaoyu felt that he should do something to make up for it, took out his mobile phone from his pocket again, pushed the door and walked out of the studio, and dialed Cao Danian's phone.

After the beep, Cao Danian's familiar and deep voice came from there: "Hey." Voice.

Cheng Xiaoyu walked to the corridor a little farther away and said, "Minister Cao, I, Xiaoyu, I want to ask if you know about the SH Midi Music Festival?" ”

"You know, although the company has signed a few bands, there are still some of them. Why did you suddenly become interested in the band? ”

"I formed a band at school, and the program team invited us to the music festival, as you know, because I was busy some time ago, so I didn't dare to agree, and now I want to see the next world, so let's see if I can go through the back door here and go in and have a fun."

"Rock isn't very popular in China, right? You must not fail to do your job! Xiao Yu. Cao Danian's tone still had some exhortation and vigilance.

"Minister Cao, don't worry, I'm just feeling different forms of music and inspiring myself to create more." Cheng Xiaoyu said lightly, not indignant because of Cao Danian's disapproval of rock and roll.

Cao Danian was relieved to hear Cheng Xiaoyu say this, but he was afraid that such a genius would devote himself to rock and roll, and the loss would be too great for the company, not to mention Cheng Xiaoyu's creative talent, and there were endless ideas in marketing. Cao Danian thought that the president actually had such an illegitimate child who was extremely surprising, and the glory of Shanghe was just around the corner, so he said with a smile, "This little thing is wrapped up in me, and I will help you get it." Just wait for me to call. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu thanked him, put away his phone and went back to the studio. Say aloud, "Okay! Let's start rehearsals, Wang Ou, what level of guitar are you at now? After thinking about it, I also asked too much, Wang Ou began to practice folk guitar, electric guitar has not been touched, although many fingering methods can be shared, many skills and timbre processing of electric guitar are completely different from folk guitar, especially outstanding is that the electric guitar needs string guarding: the strings that do not need it to produce sound must be controlled. It's child's love to put him on the stage at such a big music festival.

Wang Ou also had self-knowledge, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I can't do it, my three-legged cat skills, but Xia Shamo is playing very well now, which makes me feel that I really have no musical talent!" ”

Cheng Xiaoyu was a little surprised, Xia Shamo was still practicing playing the guitar, turned his head to look at Xia Shamo and said, "Ah, summer, how long have you been practicing?" ”

Xia Shamo blushed a little and said, "Since the winter vacation last year, I have been self-taught. ”

"But isn't this first half of the college entrance examination?" Cheng Xiaoyu asked curiously.

Xia Shamo hesitated for a moment and said, "I still insist on playing for an hour and a half every day, which is also a good form of relaxing the brain, and I think it works." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu saw that Xia Shamo's slender and slender jade-like fingers were already calloused, and some of them were peeled, and her nails were cut very neatly and smoothly, so Cheng Xiaoyu could know how hard she worked. He didn't know that Xia Shamo had applied for a guitar training class in addition to being a tutor during the summer vacation. Cheng Xiaoyu didn't speak, picked up a folk guitar from the corner of the studio, handed it to Xia Shamo and said, "Come to Summer, see your level." ”

Xia Shamo took the guitar and placed the most recessed part of the case on her right leg, with the back of the case against her body. Gently strummed the strings, the clear voice came out and it was very similar to that thing, and then began to play "Hotel California", she did not sing, but a simple guitar SOLO, although she did not use finger skills, but the hand shape is quite standard and beautiful, and the prelude rotation skills are quite outstanding, Cheng Xiaoyu thought that she practiced the guzheng fingers with high flexibility, and it was reasonable for her to play the fingers well. There are no flaws in the melodic part of the accompaniment, except for a slight force. The round sweep and fast playing of the tail music are a little stiff, but they are really flawed, and it takes less than a year to play like this, Cheng Xiaoyu feels that it is really not easy, of course, in addition to Xia Shamo's diligence, she herself is a guzheng learner who knows a lot of basic music theory knowledge, which is also helpful to a certain extent. (Practicing the guzheng generally does not cause a cocoon, because the guzheng is played with false nails.) ）

In fact, there may be far more people who want to learn guitar and try to learn guitar than everyone thinks, but there are very, very few who persevere, one out of ten. Generally, I insist on it until my hand hurts, and then I gradually put it down, and I can't pick it up.

Although Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that Xia Shamo played the guitar until her fingers were blistered, she used a needle to pick up the blisters and then insisted on practicing. But this level is enough for him to see the love for music and an incomparably persistent patience from Xia Shamo. In fact, except for a very few talented people on guitar, most masters rely on time to pile themselves up to invincibility, because there are no shortcuts to many skill exercises.

Cheng Xiaoyu pointed out several places that Xia Shamo needs to pay attention to, when the right hand sweeps, the finger seams should be even. The foundation of the right hand is already very good, but the left hand needs to be strengthened, especially the practice of hooking the strings with the left hand.

Xia Shamo nodded, Cheng Xiaoyu took out a guitar from the studio with great interest, and played the double guitar of "Hotel California" with Xia Shamo. With the addition of Cheng Xiaoyu, the momentum and rhythm of the whole piece suddenly changed, if the single guitar performance is a silent black and white movie, then the double guitar performance is a color movie with sound. In fact, it is difficult to express the meaning of "Hotel California" on a single guitar. Because many of the expressions in the gaps of the main note have to be done with two guitars.

And playing double or triple guitar is a very interesting thing, and trying to complete a song with your friends is definitely a beautiful thing. The fun in the middle is the same as playing a game online, and there are infinite feelings and challenges worth enjoying. Of course, playing a double guitar is not simply two guitars playing the same song together. In fact, the combination of the two guitars has a contrasting beauty in melody, fingering, pitch, etc., thus enriching and beautifying the effect of the accompaniment. Playing the double guitar can greatly enrich the musical table. After all, a guitar can sometimes be monotonous.

But for Cheng Xiaoyu, a skilled guitarist, a single guitar is not monotonous. For a fingerstyle guitarist, a guitar is almost as good as a small orchestra, and the detail and richness of the tone are extremely high. Of course, that is the worldview of guitar masters, and ordinary people need to practice diligently for a long time to do it.

Wang Ou's eyes glowed when he listened to the double-guitar version of "Hotel California", and he only hated that his level was not enough, while Chen Haoran was making up in his brain, where he needed to add the drum beat.

After playing the song, Wang Ou said resentfully, "Ah, Xia Shamo, slow down!" You're still working so hard, I guess there's no place for me as a guitarist. ”

Xia Shamo smiled a little embarrassedly, and didn't know how to reply.

Cheng Xiaoyu patted Wang Ou's shoulder and said, "Come on, you are out of play with this lead guitar, and there is also a rhythm guitar, and you can pick a bass, if you don't have to work hard, it's difficult!" ”

Wang Ou hung his head and said, "After all, I don't have a basic foundation in music theory, and I feel that it is difficult to learn." ”

Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile, "In fact, if you just practice the guitar and don't involve composition, music theory knowledge is not so important." Practice is king, so if there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. ”

Wang Ou nodded.

Cheng Xiaoyu, Xia Shamo and Chen Haoran went into the piano room to arrange a song that didn't require an electric guitar a few times. After the exercise of the bar, they entered the situation quickly, and this song is not too difficult for Xia Shamo to sing, and the melody of the guitar is also very simple. (BGM "I Shot Myself" Buddha Jumping Over the Wall Band)

Chen Haoran's drums are also easy. The most brilliant is Cheng Xiaoyu who plays Bechstein, this pure and rich piano tone is paired with Xia Shamo's deep bone marrow but beautiful and gorgeous shallow singing, which makes the summer air cold.

Xia Shamo faced Cheng Xiaoyu's Bechstein, playing the guitar, behind him was a large piece of floor-to-ceiling glass covered with silver metal blinds, the blinds were not completely closed, countless clear sunlight quietly floated in from the gaps, sprinkled on the face of Cheng Xiaoyu who was sitting in front of the piano, his whole person was undulating between light and shadow, his hands flew on the black and white piano keys, his eyes were so focused that he seemed to look at the lover who had been in love for a long time, and his movements were so light that he couldn't bear to wake up the elf sleeping in the piano.

Xia Shamo looked at Cheng Xiaoyu's long eyelashes and deep eyes, and the real emotions in the song gradually filled so much that time slowed down.
