On the stage, the Wan Li Ma Wang Band, the Tumbler Band and the Plywood Band stood on one side, and the mainland band stood on the other side, and the two sides faced off nervously.

Wang Xinbo and Cui Jian all had angry faces on their faces. The nonchalant attitude expressed by Paul and the drummers and resisters of the continental band has deeply angered all the Chinese present, and they will not lose the battle.

On the Continental's side, except for Eddie's face with some embarrassment, everyone else, including the keyboardist, also had a surge in anger. Paul's words are a little inappropriate, but Wang Xinbo and they are so entangled, but it is also a little excessive. Will everyone be able to have fun in the future?

The audience in the audience are all Chinese, and no matter what the performance level of the mainland band is, they are all on the side of the Chinese band at this moment.

"Come on!"

"Gotta win them!"

"That's right, make them apologize!"

"Let them know we're awesome!"

After learning that he was called a turtle and a fool by a few foreigners, the audience was also very angry.

In the early 1980s, China, which had just finished the catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution, faltered into a period of reform and opening up. When the country was opened, the Chinese saw the world, and then everyone sadly found that the capitalist society that originally lived in dire straits had already entered the ranks of development, while Japanese electrical appliances, Parisian perfumes, German cars, American music and movies made the Chinese, especially young people, who once wanted to liberate them, embarrassed.

Traditional values have been dissolved, the glory of 5,000 years of civilization has suddenly become a myth, and all the magnificent dreams of the past have now awakened, only to be mocked by the poverty and backwardness in front of them. In an instant, the Chinese discovered that, in addition to longing, the double poverty of material and spirit finally turned them into nothing.

Everyone loves their country deeply, even if they have been abandoned by the country and bruised by the motherland.

Therefore, they are frantically absorbing a qiē foreign knowledge, whether it is the essence or the dross, every Chinese hopes that their motherland will be recognized by the world, and every young person's heart is eager to make the motherland as strong as possible. They will not allow anyone to slander their country, let alone outsiders to despise them.

The inferiority complex hidden in their hearts allows them to still hold their heads high in the face of certain occasions, certain things, and some major rights and wrongs, they can be defeated, but if you want them to admit defeat, don't even think about it!

This is the fundamental reason for this contradiction between the two sides.

This is a clash of ideas, a confrontation of beliefs of a group of people, and it is by no means an ordinary quarrel between a few members of the continental band.

If the Chinese team loses this game, it will be a disaster for the sensitive and fragile self-confidence in the hearts of the young people present.

Paul, from the previous continental band, had already shown off a guitar solo before the performance, so Paul was not worried about the guitar playing competition in the first round.

Paul looked at Wang Xinbo and the others with some disdain, and said contemptuously: "Which of you will come first?" ”

"As long as I surpass my solo just now, I will admit defeat! …… I'm just worried that you won't be able to do it! Now that the show has turned into a farce, Paul doesn't mind letting everyone in the room, including Wang Xinbo on stage, show them what a real rocker can do.

Paul's arrogance came to his face, making people want to punch him in the nose and make him open a soy sauce shop in the face.

When the audience heard his words, they all scolded one after another-

"I'm cǎo!"

"The **** is too arrogant!"

"It's paralyzed, it's endless, isn't it?"

"What are you waiting for, go up and kill him!"

Wang Xinbo and others were not disturbed by the audience, and Paul's guitar solo was something that several people had never seen before. Some of these techniques they had heard, pondered, and discussed in their mouthpieces, but they alone were not enough to beat Paul. There were a few new tricks in Paul's solo just now, and they were very excited to see it, trying to steal the teacher.

"Damn, beg him, I'll come!" Ding Wu's temper is the most unbearable for others, and he plans to be the first to come out.

"You're no match for him!" Cui Jian stopped him.

In the three bands of Wan Li Ma Wang, Tumbler and Seven Plywood, Ding Wu's guitar level can rank in the top three, but it is not the best, this round of the game, can only play the lead guitarist Wang Yong of the Tumbler Band and Wang Xinbo, the guitarist and captain of the Wan Li Ma Wang Band.

A few years later, Ding Wu first formed the Black Panther Band, and then founded China's first heavy metal band, Tang Dynasty, in both of which he served as the lead guitarist, which shows that his guitar playing level is enough to start a sect, but now he is still in a stage of improvement, and will not reach the state of forgetfulness and ease in the future.

As early as 1971, after Wang Xinbo occasionally heard the song "beatles", he began to play music and guitar. Throughout the '70s, Wang Xinbo had been studying sound, and he had made effects, synthesizers, like the effects on electric guitars. At that time, there was nothing, and he had to do everything he wanted. Later, he went to the toy research institute, and he also engaged in acoustic toys, which also had something to do with music.

After the establishment of the Wan Li Ma Wang Band, the lead singer Wang Xiaoyi's guitar technique was taught by Wang Xinbo, it can be said that Wang Xinbo is the first group of people to play electric guitar in China, at this time his guitar skills have matured, and he is one of the few figures standing at the peak of the current Chinese electric guitar technology.

If Wang Xinbo has the best guitar skills because he has practiced for more than ten years, then Wang Yong, the lead guitarist of the tumbler band, surpassed Wang Xinbo in just two or three years by virtue of his talent for the guitar and became the first person in the electric guitar industry in Beijing.

In later life, Wang Yong was evaluated as the first rock guitar master in Chinese mainland, and his guitar albums "Guitar World" and "Guitar King" became the collection of many guitar lovers in later generations, guiding generations of guitar lovers.

So after discussion, it was decided that Wang Xinbo and Wang Yong would represent the Chinese team and compete with the mainland band for guitar.

The first to appear was Wang Xinbo.

This man, who is already in his 30s, is not burly and looks very ordinary. But he has been playing in the field of electronic music for the longest time, and he has a cheerful and generous personality, and has always been willing to support the underachievers, and has always been called the old brother by everyone.

is usually a pleasant-looking old brother, but today he has a straight face, and Paul's words and deeds today are simply a slap in the face for him as an organizer, which is absolutely unforgivable!

Although he knows that his guitar playing level is as good as Paul's, for Wang Xinbo, even if he loses, he has to lie on the way to charge.

Wang Xinbo adjusted the effects on the electric guitar with his hands, then took out the plucks from his pockets, thought about it calmly, and then plucked the strings with the picks.

Unlike Paul's previous flashy performances, Wang Xinbo just played a passage from a European and American song that he thought was the most difficult to perform.

The roar of the electric guitar began to stir in the entire abandoned factory, and the complex melody and the tone of yin and yang frustrated made people feel the moment their scalp tingled, and a wave of blood gushed out from the bottom of their hearts.

Wang Xinbo's guitar performance is dominated by pushes, legatos (strikes, hooks, slides), tremolos, non-directional slides, damping, skipping, plucked overtones, and the dot melody that Paul had previously shown.

is different from the gorgeousness of Paul's show, Wang Xinbo's performance is very calm, not seeking fault, but seeking no fault. As the pick in his hand swung faster and faster, the melody that was a little simple at first began to become complex and changeable, and various guitar solo tricks also flashed from time to time.

Just as Wang Xinbo began to play, when the simple melody echoed in the factory, Paul's face showed a trace of contempt, and then he watched Wang Xinbo's movements with his hands on his shoulders and his lips. But as the high dynasty of the song began to arrive, as Wang Xinbo began to speed up the tempo, and as Wang Xinbo began to show off the solo skills he had figured out, Paul had to get serious.

Wang Xinbo's hands are very steady!

Wang Xinbo's rhythm is not the slightest disorder!

Wang Xinbo was able to show his previous spinning skills again!

He had learned the technique from a guitar master at a rock concert in the United States two years earlier, and it took him nearly two years to master it.

Before his own performance, Wang Xinbo had never seen this kind of fingering, which Paul was sure of.

The Chinese musicians present did not have the opportunity to go abroad to see the rock scene, and they all figured it out on their own based on various materials and audio-visual products.

In their usual contact, these people sometimes discuss electronic music topics that are really stupid and make people laugh, which is the fundamental reason why Paul thinks they are low, that they are simply a bunch of turtles. He despised these Chinese musicians, because he felt that he and they were one in the sky and the other in the ground, Wang Xinbo and they were like frogs at the bottom of a well discussing how big the sky was, and he didn't know how vast the sky was.

But Paul knew now that he was underestimating them.

In just a few moments of effort, Wang Xinbo actually had a preliminary understanding of dot spin fingering, and began to try to use this fingering in improvisation.

Terrific!

At this moment, the contempt on Paul's face disappeared without a trace, and the solemnity of his face was changed.

The guitar melody, which was only two or three minutes long, was quickly played, and when the last vibrato disappeared from the megaphone, the whole factory was in a boil.

"Damn, brother, how did you do it! It's too hanging! Ding Wu vigorously walked back to Wang Xinbo's shoulder with a hammer, and his excitement was overflowing.

Others are also constantly complimenting.

Offstage, the audience had already danced and danced enthusiastically.

"It doesn't seem that foreigner has to play badly!"

"Nonsense, do you know who he is?"

"He is the best guitarist in Beijing, Brother Wang!"

"Haha, it's time for that foreigner to apologize!"

"Yes, apologies! All foreigners have to apologize! ”

"Look at that grandson's face!"

"Let him look down on people!"

……

Everyone's praise was like oil that didn't need money, and kept pouring into the ears of Wang Xinbo, who was already sweating profusely, but he was not too happy.

In all fairness, it's hard to say who is better than Paul's previous solo playing, which isn't on the same channel in the first place. However, he made significantly fewer mistakes in his playing than Paul, and in this respect he was superior.

However, this competition is not an individual competition, but a confrontation between two teams. Therefore, even if he wins Paul, as long as Eddie plays, I am afraid that he and Wang Yong will not be his opponents.

Among his own people, Wang Yong's guitar skills are slightly higher than his own, and as for where it is, it is not necessarily high. Wang Yong was named the first person to play electric guitar in Beijing, not only because of his superb skills, but also because his guitar sound is full of creativity and emotion.

However, Wang Yong's piano skills are still invincible compared to Eddie.

Wang Xinbo and Eddie have known each other for more than a year, and their own establishment of the Wanli Mawang Band is still influenced by Eddie, Eddie, as the soul of the continental band, in addition to being the oldest, the main reason is that his guitar skills and performance level are outstanding.

Wang Xinbo once heard the keyboardist of the Continental Band talk about Eddie's glorious past.

As a young man, Eddie was already one of the best guitarists in the Washington area, and there were many underground bands that came to challenge him, and he never failed. Later, Eddie received invitations from many rock bands that had begun to make their mark, and many bands that had already started releasing records invited him to be the lead guitarist. It's just that Eddie regards guitar playing as a hobby and doesn't have the idea of making a living from it, so he turned down all invitations. When he later came to China to study and disappeared from the Washington music scene, he was considered by many to be a loss to the rock music scene.

Such a character, whether it is from the perspective of performance experience or guitar solo skills, the current self and Wang Yong can't win at all.

So even if Paul wins, there is nothing to be happy about.

At this time, several members of the mainland band got together to discuss Wang Xinbo's performance just now, and several people reached a unanimous conclusion.

Although Paul was still a little unconvinced by this result and wanted to play another solo piece, the wild words he had released earlier had cut off this viability. Moreover, deep down in his heart, he also felt speechless about this result. Wang Xinbo's technique is there, and even if he plays again, he may not be able to guarantee that he will be better than Wang Xinbo.

Eddie stood up, he looked sideways at Wang Xinbo who was surrounded in the middle, and said into the microphone in front of him: "Just now, Wang's performance was very exciting, and after discussion, we think that the game between Wang and Paul is ......" (to be continued.) )
