Volume 1, Heavy Life 02 Chapter 8 Teacher Lin
"If you want to learn the guitar, you must first know the sound principle of the guitar. The guitar is a stringed instrument that produces sound by plucking the strings on it. The strings are plucked with one hand and the fingers of the other hand are resting on the fretboard, which is a small strip of metal that covers the neck. The sound that comes out is enhanced by the guitar's resonance box, just like this. Liu He sat on the bed, held the guitar horizontally in his hands, held the fretboard on the guitar with his left hand, and hooked the strings below with his right hand. Just a casual flick of the melody comes out of the guitar resonance box. This sound is even more pronounced when connected to a speaker.
Lin Ming listened very carefully on the side, although he was not very smart, but he understood the basic principles, and probably understood how to play this thing.
Liu He explained it again, then gave the guitar to Lin Ming and taught him how to play it.
After a while, Lin Ming already knew how to use the guitar. In the past, when I watched others play guitar, it seemed that I just randomly swept the guitar strings, and a tune came out. Actually, it's not like that, you have to play the guitar with your left finger board, otherwise, it won't be a tune, but a nasty noise. According to Liu He, the guitar is not an instrument that can be played well by playing, and there are nearly 20 ways to use it. Different types of guitars are used differently, for example, acoustic guitars are mostly used for folk songs, while electric guitars are mostly used for rock, metal, and pop music. Our common plug-in guitar is the electric guitar. Liu He's is an acoustic guitar.
With Liu He, a semi-professional teacher, Lin Ming can roughly play a few simple melodies in just over an hour. He still has a long way to go if he wants to play a few more simple melodies and turn them into a simple tune, but there is still a long time, and Lin Ming is not in a hurry.
In the process of studying, Lin Ming was not idle, and while asking some music knowledge, he discussed with Liu He: "Hezi, how about we make a band?" ”
"Band? Think too much, bro. ”
Liu He waved his hand, the eight of them were interested in music, and the rest were all laymen, even if Lin Ming wanted to learn now, it would take a year and a half to get started. Even if you enter the door, it will take three or five years to become proficient, and the matter of making a band is far away.
"I'll learn this kind of thing, and you should be pretty much there. Just let them sing. Lin Ming lowered his head and concentrated on repeating the simple melody, and when he first learned the instrument, he had to repeat the practice like this.
"It's not as simple as you think, a mature band must have four people: drummer, bass, keyboardist and guitarist, and even more professional, you have to add a professional-level singer and lead singer. Even if I can play the keyboard and you can play the guitar, who will do the drummer and bass, let them play the iron? I'm afraid that the drum kit will be hammered. And what about songs? Even if there are people, the band has to sing, and singing other people will definitely not be popular, and they have to write their own songs like the Beatles or beyond to be successful. Don't count on me when it comes to writing songs, I'm busy studying music and reading books every day, so I don't have time to write songs. Liu He hit mercilessly.
There are so many bands in the world, but why are there only so many truly palace-level bands? It's because people have always had classic works, and there are so many great guitarists and keyboardists in the world, but why only those few bands are successful, or because people have works. In Liu He's eyes, not to mention the issue of works, it is a big suspense whether the band can get together a few people who play musical instruments, so when Lin Ming said this sentence of making a band, Liu He basically listened to it as a joke. If you haven't played music before, you don't know how hard it is to play music.
"It's not as complicated as you think, I don't think other people can sing with a guitar." Lin Ming didn't know much about the situation inside, but when he watched others play music, he was just an acoustic guitar, and he could still sing a natural voice.
"And I'll solve the song thing, but I don't know if I want the band to play the song I made, I feel like it's just a guitar."
Lin Ming can't listen to all the songs in the next ten years, he only listens to the most popular pop songs. He didn't really understand whether or not a band needed to help him make these songs, but he knew that many songs could easily sing beautiful melodies with just a guitar, and it looked very simple.
"You can write songs?" Liu He looked skeptical.
"Hmm."
Lin Ming thought for a while, and snorted casually: "The white-haired glass of wine on the vigorous quicksand pillow is compared." The young and elegant clothes are angry, but it is only for a moment. It is inevitable to miss the eaves of childhood, unpredictable changes. Separated from the mountains and seas, turn around and calmly sencha. ”
"Huaxia style?" Liu He was stunned and said, ", did you really write it?" ”
"Of course."
Lin Ming said brazenly again: "I am a musical genius. ”
In 02, it was the embryonic stage of Chinese style songs, and as a musician who always loves music and pays attention to music, Liu He naturally knows this term. In fact, he didn't know that according to the division of the future, Hong Zhaoyuan should belong to the ancient style music rather than the Chinese style, because the orchestration used in the Chinese-style songs is mainly Western music, which is often half Western music and half folk music, while the ancient style songs emphasize the combination of national instruments and electronic synthesizers, and the ancient style is very obvious. However, at that time, the Internet was not developed, and Liu He was not clear about the concept division inside. I only think that the lyrics and melody are more classical, so I naturally classify it as the recently popular Chinese style.
In 02 years, it happened to be the first year of the popularity of Huaxia style, and after Dong Chou's song broke through the north and south of the country next year, Huaxia Feng followed the fire, and at this time, taking out the red Zhao wish will definitely not make people feel that the consciousness is ahead of time, and may even lead the trend, making the red Zhao wish become a landmark track of this era.
"Teacher Lin who beat me, I said that Mr. Lin is good-looking, a talent, and must be a genius in ten thousand, but I didn't expect it to make me guess it. From now on, you will be my big brother, my father. Dad, what good songs are there for me to write and make me popular. ”
Seeing Lin Ming show his talent, Liu He showed his flattering side without hesitation, as a person who loves music, meeting a genius who writes lyrics and music is almost no less than Liu Bei meeting Zhuge Liang.
Lin Ming's old god said in the ground: "Don't panic, don't worry, follow my brother, there is meat to eat." Just write a few songs, and I can make my brothers popular all over the country. ”
"Dad, you will be my real father from now on." Liu He flattered: "I'll take a look at this song when it's written?" ”
Hong Zhao wished that Lin Ming listened to it thousands of times in the future, and the lyrics were memorized backwards, and they were written in a few strokes. Lin Mingdao: "I don't know how to match the soundtrack of this song, I know what the melody of the song is, and it is best to play it with national instruments, the lyrics are very feminine, I wrote it to An Ran to sing." Let's study how to score music. ”
Lin Ming was not engaged in music in the first place, he only remembered how to sing songs and tunes, but it was really difficult for him to remember the soundtrack, but fortunately, there were half experts here, and he just asked Liu He to help him study and research.
"Sing the whole song to me."
Lin Ming sang Hong Zhaoyuan in its entirety, because his singing skills were not very good, and some places were out of tune.
Liu He was embarrassed: "Boss, you singing ....."
Lin Ming said embarrassedly: "I'm not a professional, isn't there still you?" ”
Liu He thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't do it, I'm a half-witted person in folk music, and I can't handle it if you have a problem with your singing skills." If you want to help with the soundtrack, you have to find my folk music teacher. She is a big bull, a retired professor from the Central Conservatory of Music, and my old man used to be classmates, so let's look for her. ”
"Okay, I'll ask next time." Lin Ming nodded, there are roughly three styles of songs he likes to listen to, one is pop music, the second is ancient style songs, and the third is folk songs. Among them, ancient style songs account for a lot of proportions, such as Hong Zhaoyuan, a friend of mine, Qianqian, Koi copy, Silk Play, Wanshen Ji, Quan Yu Tianxia, this is still what he often listens to, only 20 songs can be memorized lyrics and tunes, and there are too many that can not be remembered, such as Jiangshan Snow, Hua Xu Yin, a song of mountains and rivers, Wuyi Lane, painting boat smoke in the shallow, halfway Fenghua, peach blossom cool, summer love, etc., etc., there are hundreds of similar ancient songs in later generations, and there are too many songs that have only been heard a few times.
Lin Ming naturally didn't have such a good memory to remember everything, so he could only reluctantly write down some classic songs that he could still remember. I was busy all night last night, and not only did I see a book that was very late, but I also wrote a lot of songs in a notebook. Because no one would have thought that he would suddenly be reborn back into his youth overnight, he would not deliberately memorize these songs at all, his memory was intermittent, and Lin Ming could only rely on his constant memories to write out the songs that he could remember first. As for some of the more incomplete songs, some places have forgotten a certain lyric, so you can only leave that paragraph blank first, and then temporarily fill it up when you remember, which is quite a headache.
Fortunately, he just forgot the lyrics, and the general melody is generally remembered clearly, and he really can't remember it, and he can add it himself through the context. Anyway, he was also a man who scored 137 points in the college entrance examination that year, although he couldn't talk about the realm of Fang Wenshan at station B, but he could barely do it by reading the text and filling in the blanks.
"Are there any other songs?" Liu He smiled and said, "Boss, write me a few songs, let me be popular once." I also have a teacher who is a music producer of Peachwood Music, and when the time comes, I will find him to release a record, and with you, we will be popular. ”
Lin Ming tapped his temples and said with a smile: "It's all here, yours are indispensable." But I only like to write folk songs, Chinese style and pop music, and rock metal music doesn't look for me. ”
It's not that Lin Ming can't write it, it's just that he didn't listen to those in his previous life, if he had a few more music hobbies at that time, and the title of music all-rounder in the future, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to run.
"It's okay, I like it all, and I don't just like rock 'n' roll."
Liu He shook his head and shook his head, overjoyed.
"Then listen up, these songs are amazing. Let's talk about this song first. ”
Ah Mao, Ah Mao, I can't stand you, anyway, you are talented, and you will definitely write better songs in the future, let's steal one of your most famous songs, don't mind.
In the summer of 02, Lin Ming started his plagiarism life for the first time with "guilt" for Mao Buyi.
