Before practicing the second song, Cheng Xiaoyu had to teach Xia Shamo the electric guitar playing of this song, which is pure rock music in the style of gothic metal.

There is not much difference between an electric guitar and a folk guitar for beginners. The basic left and right fingering techniques are the same, the strings of the electric guitar are much softer than the folk songs, and the fret count is relatively large, usually 21 or 24 frets, and the playing is mainly based on the use of picks.

If Cheng Xiaoyu's purpose is to teach Xia Shamo to play the electric guitar, it will definitely not be possible in a short time, but if she just teaches these songs, it will be much easier, and then she can slowly explore and familiarize herself with her own experience.

Fortunately, Xia Shamo's basic skills are quite solid, and when Cheng Xiaoyu taught her, her comprehension was also quite high, because after the distortion was turned on, the noise caused by subtle movements was very loud, so Cheng Xiaoyu asked her that her hands must be "clean". The second thing that needs to be practiced is the flexibility of the fingers, the ability to cooperate with the left and right hands, and certain techniques, such as sweeping and plucking. This is not too difficult for Xia Shamo, after all, she has been practicing guzheng for so many years, and her fingers are still very flexible, but the difference is only the skillful use and understanding of skills.

The three of them tossed for three new songs all afternoon, and the music background of the third song is even grander, and this is a bel canto heavy metal rock, and the rhythm makes people's blood boil, but because Cheng Xiaoyu has not used a synthesizer to arrange the music, there is no bass paving in the low voice, so not only is the whole song extremely weak and lifeless, but it does not seem to have a majestic aura. Moreover, the rhythm has been unstable in practice, and it is difficult to complete and smooth a song. While the drummer also provides the rhythm, there is also a need for the guitar and the drums to be connected to each other, and that is the bass. That said, without the bass player giving a steady low frequencies, the band's rhythm can easily deviate.

Although most people basically can't hear the bass and think that there is no need for a band bass to save zài, in fact, the bass is the soul of a band. Even if the synthesizer can be used as a bass, the bass made up by the synthesizer is relatively stiff and lacks fluidity in music, because the analog timbre is still just an analog after all, and it can't replace the real bass instrument, not to mention that he doesn't have a synthesizer now, and he uses a piano.

Cheng Xiaoyu frowned, so he got off the piano, went to get a bass, rehearsed again, the whole music was much smoother, Cheng Xiaoyu had the urge to burst into tears, and finally felt the feeling of the instrument waving in his hand, how passionate it was, I felt that I was cooperating with a strong rhythm, my heart was beating more vigorously and quickly, and it was always difficult to make my blood boil when standing behind the keyboard, after all, although the bass was not as fancy as the guitar, he could at least raise it and slap it a few times to play cool. (SLAP is a technique similar to guitar fingerpicking)

SH Midi Music Festival is on the 30th, 1st and 2nd these three days, at this time left the curtain for only four days, Xia Shamo, Chen Haoran and Cheng Xiaoyu practiced until more than five o'clock, Wang Ou continued to practice the guitar basics alone, before dinner, the three of them all said that they wanted to leave, Cheng Xiaoyu left them to eat, and they all insisted that they wanted to go back, Cheng Xiaoyu did not force him to stay, and made an appointment to go to the Forest of Lights to practice tomorrow morning, and the three of them left.

Cheng Xiaoyu looked at the distant backs of the three of them, as if he had returned to his memory of the scene when he played a band in college. Although there is no income of a penny, and there is no expectation of becoming famous overnight, he is addicted to it and dedicates his best youth.

Before dinner, Cheng Xiaoyu received a call from Cao Danian, although Cheng Xiaoyu felt that there must be no problem, but he was still a little worried that Cao Danian would not be able to handle it, so he quickly answered the phone: "Hey, Minister Cao." ”

Cao Danian was not wordy, and went straight to the point and said, "Xiaoyu, the performance of the music festival has been arranged, it is the second day of the music festival on the stage of the Tang Dynasty, 5:50 to 6:20 in front of the well-known local band "War Machine". The Midi Music Festival is the biggest rock event in China, don't mess up, rehearse well in the past two days, I look forward to your wonderful performance!"

Because for the newcomer band, the opening two points of performance will be better, the performance pressure is not so great, and the further it goes, the more well-known the band, such as Cheng Xiaoyu's "War Plane qì" belongs to SH's long-famous band, and it is also very famous in China. Behind the war plane qì is the famous American band "Thefairytaleofsteel" (steel fairy tale), so this performance point of the Guilty Crown is a great test of popularity and skill, and the level is too poor and the contrast is too obvious, and the grumpy rock youth may boo and throw water bottles. The level generally does not retain the audience, and the audience may go to eat, or they may choose to go to another stage to watch other bands perform.

Cheng Xiaoyu doesn't know so many mysteries, even if he knows, it doesn't matter, he is still quite confident in his level. So he said, "Okay, Minister Cao, thank you so much." ”

Cao Danian's hearty laughter came from the phone, and he said, "You kid, thank you for this little thing, I'll wait for a text message to give you Director Huang's phone, you can contact him tomorrow about the music festival performance, just call him Uncle Huang, the old man in the performance department." And why do you have so many ideas for this kid, you want Mr. Wang to upload the video of Xiyu company employees dancing "NOBODY" is now popular again, and now it is the personal video with the highest retweet rate in whispering. ”

Cheng Xiaoyu laughed, thinking that the madness was still to come, and the whole world would start an indiscriminate carnival on the Internet because of this song. "Minister Cao, this is just the beginning, wait and see, the wonderful is still to come. ”

"How many times have you said it, just call Uncle Cao, ask Minister Cao to give more points, you are like this, next time you have something, don't look for you Uncle Cao. Cao Danian pretended to be angry and said.

Cheng Xiaoyu showed a relaxed smile, but unfortunately Cao Danian couldn't see it, and said, "Thank you then, Uncle Cao." The idol plan is for you to keep an eye on it, I think they should be the biggest pillar of Shanghe in the next ten years. ”

After Cao Danian responded, he said goodbye to Cheng Xiaoyu and sent the phone number of Huang Huanjiang, the director of the performance department, to Cheng Xiaoyu. I called my old friend Huang Huanjiang again and told him not to treat this prince slowly, Huang Huanjiang couldn't help but complain, "I said Lao Cao, how can this prince be so tossed, after the company makes trouble, I don't care if I have to go to the Midi Music Festival, I have to spend my favor." Others are forced to squeeze the audition time and give the performance time. The performance times of other bands have to be adjusted, so I have to rush to drink with the operations director of the midi. ”

Cao Danian said with a smile, "Of course capable people can toss, this prince doesn't rely on the background to eat, he has real talent and learning, and I respect it." If you change you, can you make the idol project popular so quickly?"

Huang Huanjiang smiled disapprerovingly, "Then I also have to have the identity background of the prince!" In the end, it is difficult for people who have not experienced it to imagine the magic of Cheng Xiaoyu, some people think that it is because he has a background and resources, and some people think that he is lucky, and the blind cat meets a dead mouse. But not many people believe that this unstellar rich man is really like this.
