Chapter 111: The Golden Age (Part I)

That's probably how the matter of forming a band was decided.

In the next week or two, they went home to practice, and practiced there at Jiang Lili on the weekend...... But after two knocks on the door by neighbors, I had to change places. Although many places in the house have been pasted with sound-absorbing cotton, it is still enough to choke on the three musical instruments when they start work together.

Zhang Bushou really asked his father to buy a set of drums, and he didn't know how to persuade him. His father is also an indigenous resident of the county, and he has a small slaughterhouse by himself, and the family lives in a self-built house, and there are several messy houses without tenants. Anyway, it's a self-built house, and you don't have to care about the problem of making too loud noise to other people, which is good.

Zhang Bushou's father surprisingly supported his son's hobbies, almost making the fat man cry, and couldn't help but say: "It turns out that he is really his father...... I blamed you wrong. ”

Butcher Zhang silently lit a cigarette, and then beat Zhang Bushou up.

With the venue problem out of the way, the next step was a pleasant rehearsal

Except for the drum kit, the other equipment is Jiang Lili's. She has one of her own arranging keyboards, although the school provides electronic pianos when she is in class, but it is only to meet the basic teaching purposes, and the effect is naturally poor, so she simply brought the Yamaha arranging keyboard she bought in college, which can be used by Ning Zhixin at this time.

Those expensive musical instruments could not be moved to Zhang Bushou's house. So every day, everyone gathers at Jiang Lili's house, and then moves things into her cute Beetle, and then transfers to Zhang Bushou's house. Although there are some troubles, when moving around, Yi Yang and Zhang Bushou are extra careful, of course, it is unlikely that the two ladies will spend their efforts.

Jiang Lili said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad, quite gentlemanly." ”

If it's a serious band, the drummer can probably be regarded as a skeleton, and above the skeleton, the bass, guitar, and keyboards can all be counted as flesh and blood...... And the lead singer is the soul. In the beginning, the band was nothing more than a piece of rotten meat with a soul.

Naturally, it is impossible for a band that has just been formed to practice too complex tunes.

Jiang Lili said: "Band cooperation rarely uses scores. But our current level is not high, so let's start with a simple one, layer by layer, how to play the drums, how to play the bass sound of Zhixin and the solo of the prelude interlude on the basis of the drums, how to enter the rhythm guitar of Yi Yang, I will get the score out for you......"

In the past few years, it has been a few years of fairy fights in the Chinese music scene, and various fairy repertoire has emerged in endlessly. At Jiang Lili's suggestion, it was decided to start directly with a song and learn the knowledge of the band while rehearsing.

Jiang Lili said: "The priority is the drummer and the lead singer, the lead singer decides who you can sing, and the drummer almost decides that you can get those styles of songs." ”

Yi Yang said, "Hmm...... I'm singing the little prince on KTV. ”

Ning Zhixin smirked on the side.

Zhang Bushou said: "It's over, I don't have a style." Our band is out of style. ”

In the end, I chose the Mayday song. On the one hand, the degree of singing is relatively high, on the other hand, their songs are more burning, burning means that the rhythm is very simple, Jiang Lili said: "The movement of four or four beats is a little simpler, but it must be more burning than the jump of four or three beats, right?" ”

Anyway, the arrangement is rearranged by Jiang Lili, and you don't have to think about the complicated solo of the original version, the drum beat, and even the key can also go up with the fall, anyway, it's how simple it is, how happy it is.

Eventually, they chose "Hug" as their debut song.

Under the guidance of Jiang Lili, I probably understand what the band is all about, but the gap between everyone's foundations is too big to generalize.

After all, Zhang Bushou had never touched a musical instrument before, and he was not so stable when playing the beat, but under Jiang Lili's arrangement, the place that needed to be added has been replaced, and basically the whole process is moving, which is quite simple.

But there are several basic rhythm patterns involved, which is just right for Zhang Bushou to get started by practicing this song.

The most powerful of them is undoubtedly Ning Zhixin...... After all, I have been learning piano systematically for six or seven years, and even if I humbly say that I slacked off later, I can't believe it all...... When she was electing the Literature and Art Committee, her canvassing speech was: "Please don't choose my ......", so it is possible to be humble.

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Lili spoke, Ning Zhixin understood what was going on.

"Zhixin, the prelude and interlude of this song are very simple, it is the breakdown and playing of several basic chords, the original version, it is played on an electric guitar, here we use the keyboard to tune the timbre."

"Uh-huh...... I think we could add another bass progression here......"

"Huh? This can also be ...... Wouldn't it be too hard? ”

"Ah...... It's okay. ”

The conversation between the two made Zhang Bushou incomprehensible. However, after all, Yi Yang has been studying for most of the semester, so naturally he can still understand what they are talking about. can't help but sigh, no wonder Jiang Lili said that the gods in a band are often keyboardists.

Ning Zhixin is low-key.

Therefore, Ning Zhixin's positioning is also clear, she is responsible for bass sound and solo part.

Yi Yang's work is relatively simple, rhythm guitar, a few chords to death, not too simple.

But he's still going to sing.

Although, every band member, except for the bass player crying and fainting in the toilet, the rest are cool, but singing is the soul.

This song was arranged by Jiang Lili and lowered the key, although the original version was not much high, but at present, this tune is most suitable for Yi Yang's timbre play.

It's probably formed.

However, the rehearsal process is not always smooth sailing. At the beginning, it was naturally Zhang Bushou who made the most mistakes, and he took Yi Yang and Ning Zhixin to the ditch at every turn. This was followed by a laughing and laughing slapstick, and no one would blame it for that...... It's just fun, anyway. Every time she practiced, Zhang Bushou's mother would bring something in, sometimes braised pork, sometimes fruit, and again the most outrageous, bringing a pot of stewed pig's feet.

Jiang Lili complained: "It's all fat...... and then asked Zhang Bushou before the next rehearsal: "What did your mother do today?" ”

However, I have to say that Zhang Bushou is talented...... According to Jiang Lili's words: "Playing drums, in fact, there is not so much talent to say, as long as this thing is a normal person, there should be no such thing as no talent, if you don't play well, you just practice less." ”

After only a few rehearsals together, it is difficult for Zhang Bushou to make mistakes in playing those basic rhythms. Of course, Yi Yang later heard from Zhang Bushou's father: "That kid ...... It's really terrifying, once I was still playing drums at two o'clock in the morning...... Cover the drum exercises with foam pads. ”

Yi Yang was worried that Zhang Bushou's father would be angry, but he said with a relieved expression: "It's incredible...... This rabbit cub grows so big...... I've never done anything serious......"

Yi Yang asked with some surprise: "Uncle thinks this is the right thing?" ”

"Isn't that serious? You're thinking too conservative about us......"

Yi Yang was a little ashamed at the time, and when he looked at Zhang Bushou's father again, there was more respect in his eyes.

Zhang Bushou did feel that the effort was rewarded. In his ears, a song is like Jiang Lili said: "In the ears of drummers, music is three-dimensional. ”

First of all, it's the drums, which decide how many parts the song will sing, and it's at the bottom, carrying the whole song forward. Then the upper layer is the bass tone, which determines the chord direction of the whole song, the emotional tendency...... The upper layer is rich and beautiful guitar and keyboard sounds, and sometimes vocal harmony, and these three layers are commonly known as "accompaniment".

At the top, it is Yi Yang's singing.

Yi Yang is the most eye-catching talent at the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower, and he holds his brother below to shine...... Ah, I'm moved to death!

"Shura Warrior God"

While the rehearsals were in full swing, the school sports day began......
