Chapter 223 Guitar and Percussion

It was still very cold in the Imperial Capital in the first month of the year, and no one could stay in the courtyard for a long time, not even with a bonfire.

So, after the initial excitement, everyone would find a room to stay. Then in the warm room, they continued to drink, eat and sing.

The fourth uncle's courtyard was very large, a courtyard with three entrances. There were about ten rooms inside and outside, which was enough for the visitors to have a shelter from the wind, so small circles were formed.

The small circle is not fixed. People toast to each other, play the piano, and sing songs. It feels a bit like a karaoke box in later generations. Of course, the main room is definitely the busiest, both the host and the guest of honor are here, so this is where the most people come to toast.

Although Wang Xu's social attributes are not very high, he is still a good person. When toasting, he usually just raises the glass and sticks to his lower lip, but he doesn't really drink. Although he can't get drunk if he does drink, he doesn't. Don't like this way of drinking.

Drinking, or a small drinking party, with friends and chatting, the atmosphere is the most harmonious. At worst, there is only one table full of people, playing the piano and strings, singing and dancing, which can be considered a beautiful thing. In a large-scale drinking establishment like this, drinking becomes purely a job, which is very boring.

Of course, the same is true for Wang Fei. Everyone has to pay respect when they come, but Wang Fei just touches their lips and doesn't really drink.

In fact, she didn't even drink a sip of wine today because she didn't like drinking like this. If it were just these few people, she would definitely drink. If there were too many people, she would lose interest.

Soon the group became familiar with each other, and the topic quickly turned back to music.

This is how gatherings in the music circle are, no matter how far they go, they will eventually return to the music itself.

"Fourth, did you know? Wang Er is also a master of guitar." The fourth uncle suddenly smiled mysteriously at the fourth and said in a mean tone.

"Oh, really?" The fourth child seemed to be interested all of a sudden. His eyes seemed to light up after his a little languorous expression was gone.

He is really a music fan. I have long heard about Lao Si’s various legends about practicing guitar, but I didn’t expect that it was really the same.

"Want to play for a while?" The fourth uncle took a guitar from the side and handed it to Wang Xu.

"I rarely play guitar music alone. I'm not familiar with it, and it's not interesting to play purely with skills.

I’ve heard Brother Four’s guitar, and it’s really awesome.

Let's play an old tune. I'm happy today and want to show off. "Wang Xu is not humble either.

Laosi is really good at playing guitar, especially electric guitar. His solo ability is not only unique in this era, but it is also really rare, but this equipment is obviously not available here.

There are some very gorgeous and wonderful guitar solos in the song "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty". The intro is majestic, the interlude is colorful, and the outro is as ethereal as a fairy. It is really handsome, especially the performance of Lao Si with a kind of panic of the Tang Dynasty. The momentum, the style, was incredible.

Wang Xu still remembers the shock when he heard it for the first time.

I took the guitar and tried it a few times without any hesitation. Then I hit different positions of the guitar seemingly casually with my hands, from the handle to the body. I listened carefully to the different tones everywhere, and then slightly The nodded.

Folk guitar, showing off your skills with folk songs is a bit difficult, especially for China in this era. Guitars only became popular among young people in the 1980s, and were very rare before that.

Various foreign fingerstyle techniques have not yet entered China, but electric guitars have entered relatively quickly and violently with pop and rock music.

Moreover, the truly gorgeous fingerstyle skills, even in Europe and the United States, are not yet fully developed. Many fancy ways of playing are still blank, so Wang Xu plans to show off one.

Because many of the fancy gameplays are a bit unrefined to put it bluntly, and are more for showing off.

In this era, guitar solos still mainly exist as light music. The current way of producing records is actually not suitable for the spread of fancy fingerstyle music.

It was not until the video era, or even the short video era, that videos showing off various skills became popular. At this time, fingerstyle guitar, which combines performance and music, really became popular.

Wang Xu stood up with the guitar in his arms. Showing off his guitar skills was a bit physically demanding, mainly because a lot of playing required even full forearm movements, which was impossible to do while sitting.

"Dang, Deng, Deng, etc." A familiar yet unfamiliar melody. Familiar because almost everyone who has studied music knows it, but unfamiliar because it is the first time to hear such a performance.

This is Beethoven's "Destiny" Symphony. Who would have imagined that this classic piano interpretation of fate knocking on the door could be shown on the guitar.

Wang Xu's movements were flamboyant and exaggerated, but the movements of his hands quickly left an afterimage. There were almost no traces of playing the plate and strumming the strings, but he miraculously produced a tone that the original guitar should not have.

He didn't use the guitar as an ordinary plucked instrument at all. Instead, he made full use of the body of the guitar and used it completely as a plucked and percussion instrument. His fingers, wrists, palms, and even elbows were all covered. Full use.

The different timbres produced by the front, the sound hole, the side, and the position of the percussion were gorgeously interpreted by Wang Xu into a splendid piece of percussion music.

Except for basic board-playing gameplay, almost all of these techniques have not appeared in China, and many of them have not even appeared in this world.

A guitar gives the feeling of a small symphony band, and an ordinary folk guitar seems to have come to life in Wang Xu's hands.

Wang Xu's slender and white fingers flew on the strings and struck on the body of the piano. Various tones jumped in chaos but orderly, completely combining into a magical symphony of "Destiny".

Wang Xu's performance was quite long, more than four minutes. In fact, he could have played longer because he really enjoyed it.

This was the first time he played the guitar with full skill. His perfectly controllable body allowed him to master this exaggerated dazzling technique almost naturally, making his first dazzling performance quite perfect.

But Wang Xu still had enough and stopped playing after one variation.

This thing is too much, it is amazing at first sight, but it is just that after seeing it more. If you want to interpret destiny, symphony is more ideal. The magnificent temperament displayed by the hard-finished orchestration effect is far beyond the reach of a guitar.

Therefore, since it is a show off skill, it should be just right and not endless.

"You are such an awesome man." This is what Yu Chengqing said to Wang Fei after hearing this guitar song. He had only been in the imperial capital for a few days.

He finally saw a state that could not be accurately described in Wanwan dialect, and learned his first sentence in Imperial Capital dialect.

"Second brother, I will call you second brother from now on. I never knew that a folk guitar could be played like this." The expert said. Of course, the fourth brother knew that this piece of music was showing off his skills, but he was really shown off. fall down.

He is very familiar with showing off his electric guitar skills, and he shows off his skills very well.

He didn't know what the electric guitar level of Dongsi Wanger in front of him was, but he knew that this person's folk guitar level was something he couldn't even compare to.

“I really don’t dare to recognize the first guitar in the imperial capital. At least in the field of folk songs, no one will tell me what to do next.

If you have any guitar tabs, please teach me. I will consider you as my master. "The fourth child looked at Wang Xu eagerly, with expectation in his eyes.

"No matter how polite you are, we are all friends, we don't have to teach you anything.

Come back to my yard anytime and let's discuss and learn from each other.

It’s okay to learn whatever you want, but just a little bit, I remind you. "

As Wang Xu spoke, his expression suddenly changed. He was no longer as close as a friend to everyone, but with a cold and decisive tone, and said in a cold tone:

"I'm a germophobe. I know some of your friends smoke those things, and I can see that some of you haven't yet.

That's good, don't touch it in the future, don't touch it at all. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing my relatives out of righteousness, okay? "Wang Xu's voice was still slow, but his tone was cold.

Wang Xu knew what the band would become, so he had to nip it in the bud.

Now that Zhang Ju is in charge of the direction, it can be said that we are still purely playing rock and roll. Later, the soul figure passed away, so it’s okay not to talk about it later.

When Wang Xu said this, his face was serious, his expression was cold and stern, and there was some cold murderous intent in his eyes.

Rock youth are difficult to control, but why should they be stingy with a little help when they can give them a hand?

Several buddies from the Tang Dynasty were a little stunned. They all knew about Dong Si Wang Er, but no one knew what his character was like. Looking at this look, several buddies felt chills running down their spines.

There was no trace of the laziness of the conversation just now, or the greenness of the performance. It was a feeling of indifference and indifference after reading a thousand sails, and a feeling of treating human life as nothing. With this look in his eyes and his demeanor, it would be an understatement to say that this Wang Xu is murderous.

"Sure, no problem, I'll listen to you, second brother." Zhang Ju was the first to calm down, but he didn't say anything. Being in that circle, of course he knew those things, and not only did he not dislike Wang Xu in his heart, He is cold and stern, but he somewhat agrees with it. It seems that he also has a story.

"As long as you can teach me, I'll listen to you, second brother." The fourth child completely recognized the song.

"I listen to you, second brother." The last person to express his stance was Ding Wen. He was tall and looked a little scared.

He felt like he was being stared at by a wolf just now, looking at him as if he were looking at a dead person.

He hasn't been involved in this yet, but Wang Xu knows that in the future, his family will be really ruined.

Instead of killing him when something goes wrong, it is better to keep him away early and nip the problem in the bud, which is better than fixing the problem before it happens.

When Wang Xu said this now, it actually meant a bit of exaggeration, but this was the fourth uncle's place.

Who is the fourth uncle, Wang Fei's old friend, and Aunt Xia's good friend? Wang Xu doesn't want to be polluted in the future, and his reputation is not good.

Wang Xu's status is even more extraordinary now. Regardless of whether he is given face or not, no one in the music industry can thorn in his face.

At this moment, it doesn't matter whether Wang Xu has power or not, because everyone believes that he does.

Wang Xu knew that after today, there would probably be countless new versions of the urban legend of Dong Si Wang Er, and they would run in even more unimaginable directions.

Since he has such a name, he will never be stingy when it comes time to use it.

Being able to save a person, or even a band, or even a culture, is a merit rather than a karma.
