Chapter 21 Old Liu in the West of the City

At that time, the entertainment industry in this small town in the northwest was not as developed as in later generations, and most of the factory workers went home immediately after work, and some of them loved to play just drinking and playing cards, and the entertainment life was more monotonous for students.

At this time, the piano shop in the small town is not like those big cities that have enlightened rock music, there will be all kinds of passionate young people with dreams to sell a guitar with the money they have saved for a long time to sell a guitar in the piano shop, and the impression of the guitar as an instrument in the small place is still stuck in the street or purely to deceive the girl.

I have to say that Lu Haoming was able to resist the resistance of his parents in this era and forcibly use the guitar as a traditional instrument such as piano and violin to learn, and it was a great luck to meet a boss like Liu Jie in Kunpeng Piano Shop.

Since that confused era in 86, when a person let out the first roar in the workers' gymnasium, the man in an ancient shirt has become a milestone of the times, and countless young people in the confusion of youth have woken up.

Unlike the music that was only spread among a few people before, the first group of rock and roll youth who truly regarded music as a dream and a way of life appeared at that time.

Some of them later became famous and became big names in the industry; Some retreated into the background and started music-related production work; Others, like Liu Jie, are no longer the rock and roll youths who only lived for music back then, they finally returned to their hometowns, started a family, and then maybe did a serious job, or maybe they still couldn't do music without opening a piano shop.

No matter what the final outcome of these people is, there is one truth that it is undeniable that these people who made music under the most difficult conditions, relying on the unique diligence and persistence of the people of those days, have a solid foundation that is much better than most musicians in later generations.

This point was thought of when Ye Gui first heard Lu Haoming play the piano, he likes to hold a guitar with steel strings to play classical guitar music that should be played with nylon strings, and only this kind of old rock can be done if it is dull, but there is still musical enthusiasm in his heart.

If it were a teacher at a conservatory, he would definitely not let a student who studied classical guitar buy such an expensive pop acoustic guitar, of course, the family has a lot of money.

When Ye Gui rushed to Kunpeng Music Store and saw Liu Jie for the first time, he knew that his imagination should be right.

A man in his thirties, with short shaved hair and a gray coat, looking very ordinary.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Although he hurried and hurried, it was still basically dark when Ye Gui came, and he saw Lu Haoming playing boredly in the house, and the man in the store was also playing the piano to pass the time.

The man put down the piano, and his slightly fat face showed a kind smile: "It's okay, I heard Haoming say, you have to go to the restaurant to accompany after school, anyway, I'm idle when I go home, and so on." After the man finished speaking, he stood up, still smiled and said, "I'm the boss here, just call me Liu Jie." ”

This man has the simplicity and sincerity unique to the previous generation, Ye Gui originally had special respect for their generation of people who play music, at this time, seeing Liu Jie so polite, he didn't dare to hold it up, and said respectfully: "Don't dare, don't dare, if you want to agree, I'll call you Brother Liu." ”

Unlike the little girl Cheng Jun who felt embarrassed when she called him Brother Ye just now, Ye Gui felt that it was very appropriate to call the man in front of him Brother Liu in terms of age and status.

Liu Jie haha, and said casually: "Cheng, it's okay." Then he asked Ye Gui curiously: "I heard my apprentice say that you can have a new guitar fingering, and it is very powerful, can you open my eyes today." ”

Teacher Zhao, the person in charge of the orchestra, is a friend of Liu Jie for many years, and he often comes over at night, last time Lu Haoming came to Kunpeng Piano Store that night in order to get things done for Ye Gui as soon as possible, and sure enough, Teacher Zhao and Liu Jie were drinking tea and chatting in the store, so Lu Haoming directly told the two about the day, and asked Ye Gui to be incorporated into the orchestra.

Teacher Zhao and Liu Jie listened to Lu Haoming's words, and were both suspicious and faintly excited, especially Liu Jie, who had taught Lu Haoming for many years, and knew that his apprentice would not make such a joke to fool the two of them in order to let his classmates and friends make an orchestra, so he listened to Lu Haoming's finger playing technique that can pop four voices at the same time, and was instantly full of curiosity.

Mr. Zhao also doesn't believe it, he is different from Liu Jie, who has practiced hard all the way, he is a real professional, although he is only a music major in a normal college, but after all, he is also a professional, although he focuses on keyboard and harmonic theory, although the level of musical instruments is average, but the knowledge of various musical instruments is much more than Liu Jie.

He also knows a lot of guitar skills, and even the kind of playing that doesn't play the strings, just playing the board, and the guitar can make a variety of drum sounds like a drum kit, he has also seen it with his own eyes, but the way Lu Haoming said that he can play the bass, keyboard, guitar melody and snare drum at the same time is too mysterious.

So Mr. Zhao and Liu Jie decided to let Lu Haoming bring Ye Gui, and they wanted to witness the miracle with their own eyes.

Ye Gui understood how attractive a magical fingering technique could be for a person who had played the guitar for many years, so he didn't continue to be polite with Liu Jie, nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Liu, I do know a new fingering." ”

"Can you pop up several voices at the same time?"

At this time, a man's voice came from behind him, Ye Gui turned his head, and a man wearing an old-fashioned blue suit and a silver tie appeared behind him.

He took a few bottles of mineral water, walked into the piano shop, and handed them to Liu Jie and Lu Haoming respectively, and then asked Ye Gui: "Lu Haoming said that the kind of fingering you know can play four parts at the same time, is that so?" ”

Lu Haoming introduced Ye Gui on the side: "Teacher... Uh, Ye Gui, this is Zhao Liang of the orchestra, Mr. Zhao. ”

Ye Gui saw Mr. Zhao's distrust, he knew that this was normal, after all, at this time, most of the various finger finger attacks that were widely known in later generations were not yet famous, and people in China could not get in touch with these things, so he said lightly: "Yes, Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Liang frowned when he heard this: "At the same time? "Playing the four voices one after the other and popping out at the same time are two completely different concepts, and if the young man in front of him plays separately, but he is skilled, it is indeed possible to make an effect close to multiple voices with his hand speed, but the concept of "simultaneously" is too incredible.

Ye Gui still nodded and replied, "Yes, at the same time." ”

Zhao Liang was a little displeased when he heard this, he guessed that Ye Gui should be able to play some guitars, and his level may not be low, in fact, with his friendship with Liu Jie and Lu Haoming, as long as Ye Gui's level is about the same, it is not impossible to integrate him into the orchestra, but you have to die to say that you are so godly.

As Zhao Liang, who was born in a professional class and manages the orchestra of Tongshi No. 1 Middle School, he usually hates this kind of impetuous music student, if Ye Gui thinks that entering the school orchestra is a very face-saving thing, so he made up a lie thinking that he can fool himself, then he is wrong.

Zhao Liang listened to Ye Gui's words and thought to himself, even if Ye Gui and Lu Haoming have similar skills, they don't want him, the atmosphere in the student club is very important, if a member who comes in like this has some ability and starts bragging, it will also be a bad impact on other league members.

Having made up his mind, Zhao Liang said, "Oh? It's amazing, I've studied music for so many years and I've never heard this kind of fingering, so Ye Gui, you can show us a demonstration. ”
