"Manager Wang, this is the guitarist who came to apply." The waiter said in front of a fat man in sunglasses, he pointed at me, and quickly went out.

"Hello Manager Wang, my name is Yun Qian, and I know some guitars!" I put down my bag and introduced myself.

"What's that? Brother, you can play the guitar! The bar manager took off his sunglasses and asked in a northeastern accent: "What are you doing!" Take a look at the performance. ”

"yes, okay."

The Northeast accent Mandarin is actually quite interesting, I have a colleague from Liaoning, and I can hear him talking every day, and he is funny.

I took out the guitar, the capo clip clamped 4 frets, only 1 string was not clamped, the familiar prelude slowly began, a finger play "Untitled" was staged at my fingertips, and the overtones and playing skills in the back were even more jaw-dropping to Manager Wang, I knew that it should be about the same.

"How? Manager Wang! Looking at his unfinished expression, I smiled and said, "Can you be a guitarist in your bar?" ”

Manager Wang smiled with satisfaction and asked, "The xylophone is not bad, do you know how to play an electric guitar?" After all, there are bands in bars, and sometimes electric guitars are also available. ”

"Yes, it's just that my electric guitar is broken, and I don't have enough money to buy a new one..."

"Minor problem... Easy to do, easy to do! Manager Wang slapped the table with a smile, "Electric guitar, provided by the bar, you will use it first, you can rest assured, it is not a bargain." ”

"Haha, that's okay, Manager Wang, that salary..."Manager Wang is a good person, he interrupted me before I finished speaking, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Yun Qianha, I'm here tonight, go to the stage to show it, and feel the music style of our 'Shallow Love Deep Bar'!" ”

I knew that Manager Wang wanted to test my on-site ability and how expressive I was on stage, after all, there was a world of difference between live performance and private two-person performance, so I also smiled: "Cheng, I'm fine, listen to your arrangement." ”

I specially took out the soft China in my pocket, handed it to Manager Wang, we chatted while smoking, Manager Wang said that the bar's resident "Thousand Yuan Band" has a guitarist who has gone abroad, the position has been vacant, and the style of performance has been affected during this time, and the guitarists who came to apply for the job either have too average technical level, or their stage performance is not good, or they can't get along with the previous members.

And the bar is not only a band, some college students come to work part-time, although the salary is not high, but there are many people who come to drink and like to watch.

Even the bar does this feature, no matter how many people you come, even if you are a guest from all over the country, there are people who know how to play musical instruments, you can go on stage and perform for free, not so much a bar! It's better to say that the music bar is a communication platform for young people with musical dreams.

"Is the singer who just sang "Anhe Bridge" a customer?" I thought about the smoky uncle when I first came in.

"No, he is the resident singer of our bar, mainly singing folk style, and the performances are different at different times, after all, the preferences of the guests are different, and only listening to folk songs every night will be nervous and tired, so there are female singers, bands, part-time bands..."

"Also, people's tastes are getting more and more picky now..."

I sighed.

Manager Wang took me to the lounge next to the stage, and then said to a few young people who were rehearsing: "Wan Shihao, this is a new guitarist, you guys get to know each other first, see what songs everyone knows, run in here, and you will perform for customers in a while, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem, Brother Wang!"

Wan Shihao stopped the guitar in his hand, looked back at me next to Manager Wang, and said in shock: "It's you?" The clouds are shallow! I really didn't expect to meet again. ”

"Haha, what a coincidence, Lao Wan, why did you come to the bar to stay?" I looked at the four of them, and when they were singing in the plaza before, the guy who played the African drums was also there, "Yo, that's good! I also found two more partners. ”

"Yes, fate! However, we are not a full-time band in a bar, we come here part-time, the salary is not very high, and we mainly want to have a hobby. ”

After a while, Wan Shihao smiled and said, "Brother Wang, you can be regarded as finding a treasure, Yun Qian was the lead guitarist of our university town Yunji Band before, Yunji Band, has participated in many music festivals, the female lead singer Xia Qing has heard it, and now he has signed a contract with Qinsheng Media Company, and at the end of the month, the Midi Music Festival in W City will appear as a signed singer for the first time!" ”

"Hahaha! I've heard it, Brother Yunqian, I didn't expect you and Xia Qing to be in a band before, it's better for you to know each other, hurry up and prepare, I'm starting to look forward to your performance. Manager Wang smiled from ear to ear, and the fat on his face was constantly trembling.

Suddenly, I heard the name Xia Qing from other people's mouths again, her fame gradually grew, while the Yunji band was gradually forgotten by people, all this seemed to be non-existent, like a dream.

Manager Wang didn't bother us, let us rehearse the performance, and he left.

"Yun Qian, are you going to be a full-time guitarist in a bar?"

"Probably not, I don't have that much time, let's put on a show first to see the effect, if Manager Wang likes me, after passing this level, I'll talk to him about whether I can do a part-time performance with you..."

This is the best way I can think of at the moment, because I still have a job on the tourism side, and I may go to the field for two days in the future, and I can't take time out to perform at the bar.

"Hahaha, I can't ask for it, the four of us here, just add an electric guitar, so that the style of the performance is richer than before" Wan Shihao smiled and shook my hand and said: "Brother Yunqian, your level is obvious to all, don't worry, just play normally." ”

"Uh-huh, Lao Wan, then let's rehearse a row of songs!"

"Cheng, you will arrange it, and we will cooperate."

Tonight's performance was also equivalent to my interview, so Wan Shihao and his three friends gave me a lot of face, asked me to be the protagonist, and arranged for a half-hour song to be performed on stage for a while.

People who often play bands may not have as good a tacit understanding in the new environment as those who have been with each other for a few years, but everyone usually practices a lot of songs, and they can always meet several songs that everyone knows.

After about 10 minutes of deliberation and soliciting everyone's opinions, I finally decided on the song and the process.

First of all, I played "Untitled" on my acoustic guitar, and sang the original "Loneliness is the Most Humble Poverty"; Then the band played "Hotel California", Wan Shihao was in charge of the rhythm guitar and vocals, and I was in charge of the electric guitar part; After the last song, I improvised solo on the electric guitar; Finally, it was the curtain call of the well-known Beyond band's "I Really Love You".

"Friends present, there is a newcomer in our bar tonight, they are the campus band of the college town, they are honest and youthful, it is because of their love for music, so we will all get together at the music bar..."

Manager Wang served as the host, holding the microphone and shouting loudly on the stage: "Let's welcome them with the biggest cheers!" ”

It's been a long time since I've felt such a warm sound on the scene, and this nervous feeling is somewhat similar to my first performance on stage in high school, but it was pure nervousness at the time, and tonight... I'm even a little excited.

I took a deep breath and looked at the eyes of the pair of people on the booth that were focused on me, and then a beautiful melody came from my fingertips.

I know I'm the main character tonight!
