Superstar

If you want to discuss classical piano skills, Hugo would probably stand in stunned mouth. Generally speaking, he would not be able to squeeze toothpaste for a long time. He was not from a major, and his understanding of technology is naturally not that professional; Hugo has his own understanding.

The technique of the keyboard player is very complicated. Simply speaking, it needs to be fast, accurate, smooth and so on. During the whole keyboard playing process, like the endless waves of the same source, you usually play a rhapsody on the keyboard. Not only needs to be fast, but also It needs to be accurate and delicate, and it needs to be smooth. But what really tests the keyboard player is actually the sense of music, not just the rhythm, but also the understanding of music.

This is the same for all instrument performances.

The same song, the same technical characteristics, why can be played by different people? This is the sense of music. What is reflected in any performance is the heart of the performer. What is his understanding of music, how he feels, whether his emotions resonate, and whether he can impress the audience. This is the real difference between superior and inferior, and it is also the scene of the band. The'fine' flower of the performance is located.

Watching a band's concert, the same band with the same song, but at different concerts can produce different effects and arouse different responses. This is the charm of the band.

In fact, just talking about the basic skills, Hugo, Neil, and Pedro are all very solid. Their basic skills are solidly worked out through the accumulation of time and countless exercises. There is no problem. The same is true for Alfonso in front of him.

When Alfonso played the classic "Drag Me Down" by the Dream Theater Orchestra, although Hugo could hear a few technical flaws, Alfonso's understanding of the whole song fully reflected his personal emotions. It was played out in the song, but the kind of selfless devotion covered up all the flaws, and it bloomed with a dazzling and'fascinating' light.

Alfonso’s playing style is very similar to his passionate personality, unrestrained and bold, emotional notes are endless like a surging river, every change in the melody is engraved in his mind, superb skills It reminds Hugo of Jordan Rudas at his peak. The reason why Alfonso had a technical leak was due to tension on the one hand and unfamiliarity on the other. Hugo will not forget that before that, Alfonso had not been systematically trained for three years. Today, Alfonso bravely challenged the song "Drag Me Down" in front of them, which also showed strong confidence.

Hugo has to admire Alfonso’s talent. Only those who have been in the underground rock circle for many years will know how many geniuses are buried in this circle, and countless talented musicians are unknown. There are many reasons, maybe It's because I didn't get a chance, maybe it was disdain to stand in front of the public, maybe it was "obsessed" with wine, "essence" or poison. The product fell prematurely, perhaps because reality has overwhelmed the backbone of dreams... But it is undeniable that there has never been a lack of genius in the rock circle. What is lacking is just a platform to show them.

Therefore, every year, rock festivals all over the world always attract true music lovers, because that is the holy land of rock and roll, not affected by pop music, not eroded by market trends, but purely for the music they love.

It's a pity that the talent for'color' can't be washed by time. When he played to the last quarter of the song, Alfonso obviously couldn't keep up. The chance of making mistakes increased greatly, and the whole person's momentum was even more impressive. After a sudden decline, the technical style imprint of the Dream Theater band faded and became pale.

Despite this, Alfonso still did not give up. He clenched his teeth, insisted to the end, and finished the whole song. When the last musical talisman ended, Alfonso closed his eyes and stood there, panting. Everyone knows how difficult the keyboard of the song "Drag Me Down" is.

Pedro turned his head and looked at Hugo in surprise, and said with his mouth, "What a crazy guy!" Obviously Alfonso's performance just now convinced Pedro, and his **** has always been like this. He really loves music, regardless of his previous personal senses, as long as he has real materials, he is willing to express his admiration. Therefore, Pedro doesn't care whether Alfonso is a car salesperson or not. He is commendable if he has the strength!

Neal is not as direct as Pedro’s reaction. He will have a deeper understanding of music and a richer understanding of technology. He can hear the "holes" in Alfonso’s performance just now. You can also see Alfonso's exhausted state after playing a song, so he did not speak, but stood still and thought carefully.

Alfonso calmed down the surging emotions in his heart, opened his eyes and looked at Hugo, "So, I'm finished, what do you think?" Alfonso naturally couldn't understand his mistakes better. It took three years. The gap is just less than a week of practice, which is obviously difficult to make up, but Alfonso has no regrets at all. Because only after he really devoted himself to the performance, Alfonso knew how much he missed this feeling, that kind of joy that went deep into his bones, making him feel like walking in the clouds.

Listening to excellent music is a kind of enjoyment at any time. "Dream Theater Band, make a choice of ‘color’." Hugo also has a big smile on his face, which shows that he really likes it.

"Do you know this band?" Alfonso seemed very surprised. Although the Dream Theater Band said that it had made a breakthrough last year, it is still an independent niche band that has not been watched, especially because they have a keyboard player in the band. It is incompatible with the current mainstream rock and roll, so it has not been widely known in the true sense.

"Of course, I also want to set up a keyboard player in the band, how could I not know." Hugo said of course, "but my favorite is not the song just now, but'learn to live (lear. 1-the...ahe.sleeper)', the classics in the classics. Of course, their entire album is out of color." If you want to count the classic tracks of the album "Imagination and Vocabulary", it is estimated that every A capital can be discussed for a long time, so Hugo just said two poems according to personal preference.

"Indeed!" Alfonso did not explain too much, but used an accentuated vocabulary to express his inner joy. It is not so easy to meet a musical friend with the same hobby, "It's just that The limelight of the two songs and the guitar overwhelm the keyboard, which is not what I am after. In fact, my favorite is'Under the Glass Moon ()'..."

Then Hugo and Alfonso said in unison, "That solo performance!" After speaking, both of them ‘showed’ similar smiles.

The guitar solo in the chorus part of "Under the Glass Moon" is unparalleled and can be regarded as one of the top 100 solo performances in rock music history. In fact, this is also one of the symbols that the Dream Theater Orchestra has been influenced by the mainstream today. The superb technique and complicated arrangement make people'dazzling', which is similar to the simple and formative style of arrangement in the 21st century. "Tide" is completely different. If pop music in the 21st century has become a product of the assembly line, then the music market in the golden age of the nineties is definitely an endless stream of classics.

Although Alfonso only had a brief chat with Hugo, the two of them resonated unexpectedly, which made Alfonso immediately excited, but Pedro was a little itchy while standing next to him,'plug in' Speaking of, "It's a huge pity that I haven't listened to this band's songs when you say this. Hugo, do you have their cassettes in your house?"

"Of course, on my bookshelf, I don't want to miss such a classic." Hugo said with a smile. This is another benefit after coming to the 90s. The music you liked back then can now be found on vinyl discs or Cassettes, Hugo will buy them one after another, which is difficult to do after entering the 21st century.

Hugo turned his head and looked at Neil’s enthusiastic expression. Knowing that he and Alfonso were a little excited about chatting, he quickly said, “We’ve seen your performance, and now it’s our turn. So, what do you think?"

Alfonso thought for a while, "I heard Joe said that you can create? And you also mentioned that you have your own ideas for the band. You just want to make your favorite music, so you want to find a group of like-minded people. My buddy, make music wholeheartedly. So, can I see the music you make?"

If Alfonso is asked to watch Hugo, Neil, Pedro perform one by one ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ instead of performing as a band as a whole, it seems a bit fragmented, so Alfonso considered it a bit. , I still focus on the band as a whole. In order for a band to succeed, the technology is just the foundation. It is the band's musical vision that can truly integrate the band into a whole.

Regarding Alfonso’s request, it was an unexpected but expected situation. Hugo and Neil looked at each other. In fact, both of them usually have some creations, but Neil is still in the process of learning. He also admired Hugo's creation absolutely, so Neil clicked his chin and motioned for Hugo to make a decision.

Hugo turned his head and pondered it for himself. In fact, he had a lot of creations in the past, but he didn't have a fixed style. He basically turned all his thoughts into notes, such as "sunbur". The grunge rock, but now that the band is considered as a whole, it is obviously more wise to choose music that can give full play to the overall strength of the band.

After Hugo made the decision, he turned to look at Neil, "Can you help me play the tambourine? I want to sing ‘Don’t be upset by the past (...in.anger)’."

"Excellent choice!" Neal nodded meaningfully. Choosing such a song on such an occasion is indeed worth remembering.
