Xu Qinning in the audience was also a little worried, she had never seen Cheng Xiaoyu play the guitar, and she didn't know enough about Cheng Xiaoyu's guitar level, but after watching Du Xing's performance, she couldn't help but sweat for Cheng Xiaoyu. I think that as long as the difference between the two is not too big, the number of flowers is not a problem. is afraid that the difference in strength is too far, and sending more flowers to Cheng Xiaoyu will only attract ridicule from the audience. The Chinese people have always been self-assured and fair.

Xia Shamo has a lot of confidence in Cheng Xiaoyu, although this confidence is very blind.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't know that so many people in the audience cared about him. He sat under the spotlight, holding the guitar in his arms in a trance, and he wanted to play a classic guitar track that belonged to the previous life and had to play.

That's right, it's Hotel California.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt that his thoughts were drifting far away, he was too familiar with this song, it can be said that this song is a holy place in the hearts of every guitar lover. The world's most famous hit is the most famous pop music of the century, and it has created a group of "HotelCalifornia" superfans. It may be that this single is so famous that the limelight even overshadows its creator, the "Eagles".

Listen to the guitar in HotelCalifornia, the number one best guitar solo in history!

Cheng Xiaoyu looked around the dim and blurred bar without focus, looking at the noisy crowd, those hands holding cups, those clouds and foggy faces, and those misty eyes filled Cheng Xiaoyu's mind like an illusion, and he seemed to feel that he was in the "Hotel California", which was metaphorically called a neurological hospital

Cheng Xiaoyu on the stage was in a daze, but the audience was noisy, some people were coaxing, some people were applauding, most people thought that Cheng Xiaoyu was already timid and didn't know what to do. But I didn't know that the god-like performance was about to begin.

Cheng Xiaoyu felt the heat of the spotlight, and a bead of sweat hit the strings and exploded in his mind, which made him wake up from the illusion full of memories. When Cheng Xiaoyu woke up, he accidentally kicked on the microphone stand, and the stereo made a sharp whistling sound, which made the whole bar quiet.

Cheng Xiaoyu didn't care about the audience's surprised look and uncomfortable expression. Gently into the microphone, a mellow voice sounded: "A song "Dragon Gate Inn" is given to everyone present. ”

The intro and outro of "Hotel California" were originally completed by two guitars, and it would be more difficult to play it by one person, especially the outro. But the highlight is the prelude, especially the echo, which requires the index finger and the little finger to hook repeatedly, which requires high strength and independence of the little finger, and the tail also has this fingering design. Accompaniment can be improvised at any time in any key. The main and accompaniment of this song are performed on classical guitars, and the other parts are accompanied by folk guitars, which can be said to be the most classic and well-known work of guitar arrangement in pop songs. There is also a rock version of this song, which is far less popular than the acoustic guitar version.

The version that Cheng Xiaoyu played in the Forest of Lights also used a technique that did not exist in this time and space, which belonged to the "finger play" of the divine skill.

"Fingertips" started relatively late in China in the time and space of music directors, so if you're just a simple music lover, you've probably never heard of this style. The English name of finger bullet is FingerStyle.

As the name suggests, fingerstyle emphasizes the role of the fingers in guitar playing.

Around the 70s of the last century, with the emergence of a large number of American folk guitarists, most of them performed alone, without the help of jazz drums and bass, in order to diversify their guitar playing, they began to use or invent some new ways to play, such as you can listen to the following very classic song Diamond

&Rust was completed in the 70s, but you can already vaguely hear the difference between it and the general accompaniment, because Joan Baez deliberately staggered the accompaniment in the low and high registers when arranging the music, and used finger cuffs (something similar to a pick worn on the thumb) to increase the volume of the bass, making the acoustic guitar accompaniment of the song sound like two guitars (to be precise, the guitar strumming is removed, and the bass bass controls the feeling of the interval direction of the piece), but in fact, the acoustic guitar is played with a guitar。 This is almost a common feature of modern fingerstyle playing, where guitarists want to play a guitar with guò to achieve the effect that it sounds as if several guitars or instruments are being played at the same time.

At the same time, amplifiers for acoustic guitars appeared. In addition, many listeners wanted to hear a more natural sound than just effects and post-processed reverbs, and acoustic guitar playing was given a new lease of life, and acoustic guitar playing techniques for the modern listener were slowly derived. And finger bullets came into being.

The acoustic guitar has a wooden speaker, which means that the acoustic guitar has one more drum than the electric guitar. Therefore, with the cooperation of technique, a fingerstyle player can play the effect of playing a guitar with jazz drum accompaniment, and can beat the drum sound of different pitches by tapping the guò in different parts of the body.

One of the main ways of playing fingerstyle is to use two hands to produce sound, first of all, this makes the gap between different notes smaller, as if there is more than one guitar to play;

What does this mean? It means that Du Xing has a guitar and is fighting with Cheng Xiaoyu in a similar band, at the beginning this is a battle of victory and defeat, the difference is that Cheng Xiaoyu wants to bring the audience a more shocking feeling.

Cheng Xiaoyu first plucked the strings of a calm lake, breaking the calm of time and space, and then plucked the strings smoothly to fill the silent space with beautiful notes, the repeated melody seemed to open the prelude to an old movie, followed by a rhythmic decadent finger play, so that all the audience was in the vast desert road at dusk. Everyone could see the blood of the sun on the horizon and the lonely man speeding on the highway in a dilapidated car. When the words "Dragon Gate Inn" appeared in his eyes, the sudden and rapid repeated jump of the guitar strings seemed to indicate danger, and the long prelude brought the mysterious, elegant and chilling atmosphere to the highest place, and Cheng Xiaoyu's desolate and vicissitudes of life led everyone into the Dragon Gate Inn like a magic spell. All the spectators were believers in the shackles of religious ceremonies.

The moon is dark and the desert road is long, the wind is high and cold,

People are tired and drowsy, smell incense and suddenly see the lights breaking,

But when I saw a maiden standing upright, the bell sounded like music in my ears,

Heaven and hell are forgotten, and they don't seem to be in the world,

Bing Candle leads the way through the gallery, and the noisy voices welcome the guests:

The California Inn is sincere in hospitality, and the vacant position is waiting for the wanderer to return,

The clothes are fragrant and the sideburns are beautiful, and Yulang has always come for you,

Singing and dancing in the front porch courtyard, fragrant sweat is not exhausted:

Even if Shengge can get drunk with the moon, how can I forget my love?

So he asked the school officer for wine, and he didn't have any intention after many years.

Midnight dreams back to the old building, and the voice is full of calling,

The tired bird stays in the deep forest for a long time, and I don't want to fly here,

The mirror reflects the candle shadow, and the cold ice decorates the wine red,

The guests gathered to form a grand feast, and the beauties and wines were brightened,

Lightly opened the red lips and shocked the four seats, and the cup was stopped and could not eat:

The steel knife and silver fork are held in his hand, and the demons in his heart are still indelible,

Self-detained as a prisoner, my generation is still in despair.

Hearing that he was looking for the old way in a hurry, looking around for nowhere to go,

Where is the Ming Dynasty going?

Even though my elders are separated, I can't give up my life in this life,

The road ahead is long and the old brigade is returned, and this loop is endless.

Entering the gorgeous and poignant finale, it seems to lead all the listeners through a whole absurd and strange story, and in a blink of an eye, I see him rise up a tall building, see him feast guests, and see his building collapse. And everyone in the bar saw that the Dragon Gate Inn was rapidly decaying under the erosion of time, and the living people inside were aging, dying, withering and turning into dry bones. Until all the ashes were gone, a group of black-robed priests prayed under the vast starry sky.

The ethereal sound of the piano plays the notes like twinkling stars, and when these stars turn into the last rays of light, the sound of the piano fades and darkness falls.

The world is ruined.
