It's almost 9 p.m., and the streets are bustling with people, rushing by in the unpredictable lights. The cool breeze blew, and Fang Yan was holding the guitar, a little in a trance.

Free.

He put his left thumb on the neck, four fingers hung horizontally over the strings, his index finger pressed the first fret of the thickest bass E string, and his right thumb hung over the sound hole, playing the first note, F.

Each cell of the guitar is a "semitone". E is raised by half a note, which is F. This is followed by #F (F), G.

Yang Zhenyu had a black line on his face and secretly complained. This big brother also climbed up the lattice.

Before the athlete goes on the field, he should stretch his body, which is called a warm-up. Similarly, before playing the piano, the musician should move his fingers, which is called warm fingers. Climbing the lattice is the most basic finger warming exercise, which is very simple, just press your fingers on the strings in turn, and play one semitone and one semitone.

The index index of the left hand is recorded as 1, the middle finger is 2, the ring finger is 3, the little finger is 4, and the climbing grid is 1234, 1234 and so on. I played the 6th E string, then switched to the 5th A string, and played all the way to the highest E string. Then make a mistake, raise a semitone, and play it upside down. From the 1st fret to the 12th fret.

Climbing the lattice is very monotonous and very basic, and anyone who learns the guitar must climb the lattice first.

Yang Zhenyu looked disdainful. He pretended to look at the beautiful women passing by, but he was actually listening with his ears stunned. After listening for a few seconds, he heard something different, and looked back at Fang Yan suspiciously.

First, the volume is very loud.

Fierce, sturdy, intense. This guitar was bought for more than 2 years. He never thought it could make such a loud noise. I guess I can strumm the strings with all my strength to reach this volume. But people just pluck the strings gently, and they can't see how hard they are.

The guitar was in Yang Zhenyu's hands, and it only played 3 or 4 percent of the volume, and it reached 100% of the volume in Fang Yan's hands.

Second, it's really slow.

The purpose of climbing the lattice is to open the fingers, which are generally played very quickly. But Fang Yan's hand was slow. When playing, tempo is measured in beats per minute. For example, 100 is 100 beats a minute.

Yang Zhenyu is very confident in his guitar skills. If the climbing grid is a sixteenth note, he can play 130, which is 520 notes per minute, which is very fast.

But Fang Yan is only about 40 or 50, slowly and leisurely.

Third, coherence.

It's easy to understand that if you play two notes, 1 and 2, there's a gap between them. For climbing lattice, there is always a tiny break before 1 stops and 2 pops up, because the finger movement takes time.

This creates a discontinuity between the notes. When the tempo is slow, you will not notice it, but if you play a high-speed song like "Flying Bees", there will be countless gaps between the dense notes, which is very difficult to hear. But Fang Yan's notes, each one is clear, independent, connected together, and extremely smooth.

A girl passed by and suddenly stopped. Her eyes flashed, a little confused, and she turned her face sideways, listening to the sound of the guitar.

A husband and wife pushing a stroller also stopped, and the child's mother took out 10 yuan and threw it into the piano case.

Yang Zhenyu vomited blood. Eldest sister, this person has just played for 20 seconds, and he has played the simplest climbing lattice...... What money do you give.

Four boys passed by together, as if they had just gotten off work, and they also stood in front of the singing stall, stopping to laugh and listen curiously, as if they had never seen a guitar before.

None of the above is the point.

What shocked Yang Zhenyu the most was that the sound of the guitar had completely changed.

The timbre has changed.

Timbre, the color of the voice, is a figurative metaphor. The folk guitar uses steel strings, and the sound played is bright and clear. Classical guitars are nylon strings for a softer, warmer sound. In "Pipa Xing", "big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate" are used to describe the timbre of the instrument, which is crisp, mellow and clear.

Every note that Fang Yan plays is full of various colors. Fluid, ever-changing colors, flickering and ever-changing. Yang Zhenyu couldn't describe it, this voice was not transparent at all, on the contrary, it was a little muffled.

If the note is a seed, then the inside of the seed is dark, and the outside is wrapped in a layer of light. It felt strange, a crunchy, thin glow that was both rich and light. Yang Zhenyu concentrated all his attention and wanted to capture this timbre.

Like ...... The sound of electricity. Or, the sound of wood?

The sound is not mellow at all, on the contrary, it is very rough.

But it tastes.

Good!

Yang Zhenyu listened intently, his breathing gradually shortened.

That's so good!

The guitar is very ordinary, with a price of about 1,000 yuan, which is only considered "able to play". Compared to those 10,000 or tens of thousands of instruments, it's just a toy. Yang Zhenyu never dreamed that his guitar would sound so good.

Every instrument has its own limits. Now, for the first time, this most ordinary guitar has reached its limits. It shouted with joy and chanted with all its might.

Fang Yan's control of the timbre is subtle and precise. He brings out the full potential of the guitar, encourages it, looks after it, gives it strength and confidence.

People gathered more and more.

The weird thing is that it's very quiet.

As soon as Fang Yan's guitar played, the chaotic sound on the street seemed to disappear and be wiped clean at once. The whole street, it seems that only the sound of guitars remains.

It's real, not an illusion.

The human ear will distinguish between different sounds, good sounds, high sensitivity, for noise, sensitivity will be reduced, consciously block a part. You are in a noisy place like the train station, and you don't feel noisy after a long time, that's the reason.

One after another, there were more than 30 onlookers, forming a semicircle and listening quietly.

Facing the crowd, Yang Zhenyu pretended to be indifferent, but his heart turned upside down. He certainly knows why people stop.

No one will remain indifferent to this voice.

There are various modes of climbing lattice, in addition to the most basic 1234, there are countless more complex ones, such as 14342434, which mainly practice the independence of the little finger and ring finger of the left hand. Yang Zhenyu will. But Fang Yan's climbing lattice, he couldn't understand it.

Fang Yan's speed became faster, and his fingers were jumping, moving from the thickest 6th string E, to the 5th string A, to the 4th string D. His fingers moved extensively, and he only played 4 or 5 notes, jumping from 1st to 12th frets.

It's not like climbing a lattice, it's like hopscotch.

Fang Yan played very relaxed, his body swayed slightly, as if he was playing with the simplest toy, and as natural as drinking water and eating.

Nonchalant, loose.

People have a herd mentality and like to join in the fun. Soon, more than 50 people had gathered. From time to time, someone would come up to the front and throw a little change into the case.

Yang Zhenyu's outlook on life is about to collapse. This guy played for 1 minute, and he played the most monotonous and boring climbing lattice...... What the hell is going on!
