Regular rehearsal rooms charge by the hour, and reservations are required, which is expensive and cumbersome. The Scrapwood Band rented a lonely illegal building in an urban village to serve as a rehearsal room.

The rehearsal was noisy, and for soundproofing, the windows of the hut were nailed with sponges and covered with quilts. Two quilts were also hung on the door.

There are 4 people in the Scrapwood Band.

Yu Haiyang, vocals, rhythm guitar. He is very handsome, has a round face, permed curly hair, and is outgoing.

The instrument of the lead singer is himself, in a rock band, the lead singer is very important, the most concerned, and many lead singers are more nervous. Rhythm guitar is mainly about playing chords and wrapping melodies in various rhythmic patterns.

Dingbo, Bass. He wasn't tall, very thin, wore glasses, and was a bit sullen.

Bass is actually a general term for bass instruments, and many years ago, the band's bass was a tall, fat double bass, and later it became a bass guitar. That's right, the bass is also a type of guitar. The guitar removes the E and B strings, and then lowers the whole octave to the bass.

In a rock band, the bass is the most important instrument. A band can live without a guitar or drums, but it can't do without a bass. The bass adds thickness and space to the music, and without the bass, the band is frivolous, thin, and shriveled.

The bass has thick and long strings (and still stiff), a long body, and very different playing techniques from the guitar.

The bass is the most important, but the presence of the bass player is often very low.

Tiger, drum kit. There is a word "Biao" in his name, and everyone calls him Tiger. He has short hair, a strong body, and always has wide eyes.

The drum kit is a group of percussion instruments, which is "the second big time". "Understand" is a kick drum, standing on the ground and stepping on it with your feet. "Times" is to step on cymbals, two pieces of metal, which can be stepped on or knocked on. The "big" is the snare drum, which is placed in front of the drummer and beats with a small stick. If you remove the hi-hats, it becomes "understand big, understand big", or "understand big, understand big...... In addition, there is a set of toms and cymbals, which vary in number and can be played with something melodic.

Drums, bass, and guitar, collectively known as the three major pieces, are the basic frame of a band, with three simple lines and clear layers.

There is also a person, Yang Zhenyu, the lead guitar.

After human beings had electricity, musical instruments were plugged into wires, and the vibration of the strings became electrical signals, which were amplified and processed to change in a kaleidoscopic way. The electric guitar has also become an expressive, omnipotent instrument. The lead guitar plays the melody, and the large section of solo is more showy. The band adds a lead guitar and it will be a lot more gorgeous.

Lifting the quilt and entering the door, Fang Yan collapsed.

Yu Haiyang, Ding Bo, and Tiger, all three of them were smoking cigarettes, and there was a lot of cigarette ash. The smoke was billowing and all three of them seemed to be on fire. The hut had an exhaust vent that didn't work at all, and the thick smoke floated and choked.

Are you a Secret Room Suicide Squad?

The rehearsal room was about 18 square meters, very low, stuffy and hot, with a drum kit in the corner and a broken quilt stuffed into the bottom drum. There are several low-power speakers placed against the wall, one after the other. The microphone is in the middle, and Bestinbo is standing on the left.

Several huge sockets fell miserably to the ground, and various power sources were plugged into them. The wires have not been sorted out, they are entangled on the ground, and there are traces of shoes on the lines.

A music stand fell to the ground, and no one helped it.

The floor is dirty, drink bottles, cans, snack packaging, music magazines, messy. On the table are a few books, a tuning chart, and a capos.

"Great God......" Yu Haiyang said.

As soon as Fang Yan came, the messy musical instruments stopped. Everyone stared blankly at him through a layer of smoke. The three members of the band all watched the video of "Miss You Every Day" and were shocked.

Everyone is unfamiliar with each other, and they are a little reserved. After a polite meal, Yang Zhenyu opened the piano bag, took out a red Mexican Fender Telecaster guitar, plugged it in, and slowly tuned it.

A wire hung from the wall, and the light bulb glowed dimly. Yang Zhenyu connected an orange effect, which is a small rectangular metal block, also called a monolith. The signal of the guitar passes through it, and it becomes a distorted tone.

Xia Mo sat at the door, enduring the poisonous gas. Fang Yan dragged a chair and sat down at the table. It was the first time he had seen the band rehearse, and he was curious.

Yang Zhenyu sat on the speaker again. He lit a cigarette and bowed his head to play the piano. After the first bar was played, Fang Yan knew what song they were arranging.

"Don't Cry", Gun Flower. The translation is "Don't Cry".

Guns and Roses (GnR) is an established American band that leans towards pop or hard rock. Gun Rose is very famous in Huaxia and is the enlightener of many people, and people are used to calling it "Gun Flower".

Don't Cry begins with a 4-bar breakdown chord.

On the guitar, dividing chords into individual notes and playing them on different strings in turn is a chord. Then, the lead singer Yu Haiyang let out a long "Oh~~~~", and then sang: "Tell me softly......"

When Fang Yan heard it, it was not bad!

The voice of the lead singer Yu Haiyang is relatively accurate, not very accurate, a little higher, but it is definitely accurate. His first line was a little slower, but it didn't matter. Fang Yan thought that he could sing.

But when he sang the second line, Fang Yan's smile froze.

It's not even, he thought.

Not only is it uneven, the lead singer has just sung the first line, and after 2 bars, the band is already in chaos.

The drum is ok, quite steady.

The drummer Tiger, he wears a small suspender, no, a hurdle vest, and the muscles on his arms are tense. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, bows his head slightly, and looks very serious. There may be outsiders, and a few buddies in the band are a little embarrassed and drooping their heads.

Bass is finished.

DIMBO'S BASS IS IBANA, AN RB BRAND. He played very simply, every two beats, playing the root note of a chord, just such a simple note, he didn't play steadily, he always grabbed, a little faster than the drum.

The lead singer was singing, the guitar was hanging on his body, and he didn't move.

Yang Zhenyu's guitar was also played incorrectly, the notes were uneven, and they did not fall on the beat. This song "Don't Cry" is very slow, about 60. He played sixteenth notes, each note unstable, flustered, hesitant, fast or slow.

Whenever Yang Zhenyu played fast, he would wait for a while, and then go up on the first beat of the next bar. He's focused, and he's not going to do it.

The four members of this band, each playing their own game, are not together at all.

"Bounce" is an instantaneous verb, and the notes should be pronounced instantly. A band, whether it's 3 or 100 people, has only one rhythm, one tempo. Several musical instruments, which must be tightly fitted.

Why do the band have to rehearse, that's what the rehearsal is, the instruments have to be aligned, they become a whole, and then there is music.

The four instruments of the scrapwood band have four tempoes, which not only do not cooperate, but also interfere with each other. Now, the drum kit isn't right either.

Disorderly. It's all messy, it's a mess.

Fang Yan felt like he was going to die. He thought, they are all students, hobbies, form a band and have fun, don't take it too seriously. But the ...... is in front of you The light, the noise, the smoke, it's hell on earth.

Yu Haiyang suddenly swept the strings with his right hand and sang the chorus: "Don't cry tonight, heaven is above you......"

The lead singer of the Gun Flower Band is called Axl Rose, he was very handsome and beautiful when he was young, good at falsetto, and his voice was very coquettish. Fortunately, Yu Hai didn't imitate him.

Yang Zhenyu stepped on the effect, turned on the distortion, and changed the main tone. In the chorus part of "Don't Cry", the lead guitar will imitate the crying sound, and the lead singer's high note caters to and fights, which is very enjoyable.

But now, it's not the guitar that's crying, it's Fang Yan.

A magical scene happened.

Fang Yan was surprised to find that the drummer Tiger had sped up! Bestin Bo began to play the eighth note, dong dong dong, which had nothing to do with the drum at all. The lead singer Yu Haiyang roared for a while, and then chopped the rhythm violently, Yang Zhenyu kept soloing, pushed the strings up, and a bunch of sixteenth notes were pasted together.

The rehearsal room, which was originally rudimentary and poorly equipped, is now a mess.

This song "Don't Cry" is still quite difficult. The four members of the band have rearranged the music, and each of them has been greatly simplified, and even then, it is like a huge disaster.

After the complete chaos, they collectively gave up the treatment, loved whoever they loved, buried themselves in their own work, and just wanted to finish it as soon as possible. In the chaos, several people began to race, accelerate, sprint, and the lead guitar Yang Zhenyu won the first place, finishing nearly 1 beat faster than the bass.

At the end of a song, all four of them were sweating profusely.

Yang Zhenyu's right little finger slipped and turned off the volume knob of the Fanta guitar. He asked, "Master, what do you think?"

After listening to "Don't Cry", Fang Yan really cried.
