Reborn I just want to concentrate on studying

Chapter 114 The Golden Age

That's probably how the formation of the band was settled.

For the next week or two, each went home to practice, and practiced at Jiang Lili's place on weekends... But after the neighbors knocked on the door twice, they had to change places.Although sound-absorbing cotton has been pasted in many places in the house, it is still difficult to start work with three musical instruments.

Zhang Bushou really asked his father to buy a drum set, but he didn't know how to persuade him.His father is also an aboriginal resident of the county. He owns a small slaughterhouse and lives in a self-built house. There are several messy houses with no tenants. After a little tidying up, they can be used for rehearsals.Anyway, it's a self-built house, so you don't have to worry about the loud noise to other people, it's good.

Zhang Bushou's father was surprisingly supportive of his son's hobbies, almost made the fat man cry, and couldn't help saying: "So it's really my real father...I blamed you wrongly before."

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

After solving the venue problem, the next step is to have a pleasant rehearsal

Except for the drum kit, all other equipment is owned by Jiang Lili.She has an arranger keyboard herself. Although the school provides an electronic keyboard when she is in class, it is only for basic teaching purposes, and the effect is naturally relatively poor, so she simply used the Yamaha arranger keyboard she bought when she was in college. Brought it here, it's just ready for Ning Zhixin to use at this time.

Those expensive musical instruments cannot be moved to Zhang Bushou's house.So everyone gathers at Jiang Lili's house every day, and then loads things into her cute Beetle, and then goes to Zhang Bushou's house.Although it was a bit troublesome, Yi Yang and Zhang Bushou were very careful when moving around. Of course, it was unlikely that the two ladies would waste their energy.

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

If it is a serious band, the drummer can probably be regarded as the skeleton, and above the skeleton, the bass, guitar and keyboard can be regarded as flesh and blood... and the lead singer is the soul.In the beginning, the band was nothing more than a lump of rotten meat with a soul.

It is naturally impossible for a newly formed band to practice too complicated pieces.

Jiang Lili said: "Band coordination rarely uses scores. But our current level is not high, so let's make it simple first, layer by layer, how to play the drums, and Zhixin's bass sound on the basis of the drums. How to play the solo with the prelude and interlude, how to play Yi Yang's rhythm guitar, I will show you the score..."

The past few years have been the years when the gods of the Chinese music scene have fought, and various fairy songs have emerged one after another.Under Jiang Lili's suggestion, he decided to start directly with a song and learn about the band while rehearsing.

Jiang Lili said: "The priority is the drummer and lead singer. The lead singer decides which songs you can sing, and the drummer almost decides which styles of songs you can handle."

Yi Yang said: "Well... I am the little prince who is a popular KTV song."

Ning Zhixin smirked aside.

Zhang Bushou said: "It's over, I have no style. Our band also has no style."

In the end, I chose the Mayday song.On the one hand, the popularity of singing is relatively high, on the other hand, their songs are more burning, and burning means that the rhythm is very simple. Jiang Lili said: "The movement of four-four beats is simpler, but it is definitely better than four-three beats. Burn it, right?"

Anyway, the arrangement is re-arranged by Jiang Lili, so you don’t need to consider the original complicated solo, drum beat, and even the mode can rise and fall with each other. Anyway, it’s as simple as it is, and as happy as it is.

In the end, they chose "Hug" as their debut song.

Under Jiang Lili's guidance, they probably understand a little bit what the band is all about, but everyone's foundation is too different to be generalized.

After all, Zhang Bushou had never touched a musical instrument before, and he was not so stable when he beat the beat. However, under Jiang Lili's arrangement, the places that needed to be added have been replaced. Basically, the whole process is done every time, which is quite simple. .

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

The most powerful among them is undoubtedly Ning Zhixin... After all, she has been studying piano systematically for six or seven years. Even if she modestly says that she has slacked off later, she still can't believe it... When she was elected as a literary and art committee member, her canvassing speech was: " Please don't choose me..." Then it is possible to be modest.

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

"Zhixin, the prelude and interlude and ending of this song are very simple. It's just a few basic chords. In the original version, it was played with an electric guitar. Here we just use the keyboard to adjust the tone."

"Hmm... I think we can add a bass tone here..."

"Eh? It's okay... won't it be too difficult?"

"Ah...it's okay."

Zhang Bushou couldn't understand the conversation between the next two people.But after all, Yi Yang has studied for half a semester, so he can still understand what they are talking about.Can't help but sigh, no wonder Jiang Lili said that the masters in a band are often keyboard players.

Ning Zhixin kept a low profile.

Therefore, Ning Zhixin's position is also clear, she is responsible for the bass and solo parts.

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

But he still has to sing.

Although every member of the band, except the bassist crying in the bathroom, is cool, but singing is the soul.

Under Jiang Lili's arrangement, this song has been tuned down. Although the original version is not very high, this tune is most suitable for Yi Yang's timbre.

It's probably formed.

However, the rehearsal process is not easy.In the beginning, it was Zhang Bushou who made the most mistakes, and every time he moved, he led Yi Yang and Ning Zhixin into the ditch.Afterwards, there was a lot of laughing and laughing, and none of you would be weird because of this... It's just for fun anyway.Every time he practiced, Zhang Bushou's mother would bring in something, sometimes it was braised pork, sometimes it was fruit, and once again the most outrageous thing was a pot of stewed pig's feet.

Jiang Lili complained: "I'm getting fat..." and asked Zhang Bushou before the next rehearsal: "What delicious food did your mother make today?"

However, I have to say that Zhang Bushou is talented...according to Jiang Lili's words: "Drumming, in fact, there is not so much talent to talk about. As long as this thing is a normal person, there should be no such thing as no talent. Just practice less."

After only a few rehearsals together, it is difficult for Zhang Bushou to make mistakes in those few basic rhythms.Of course, later Yi Yang heard from Zhang Bushou's father: "That kid... was really dazed. He was still playing drums at two o'clock in the morning... covered the drum practice with a foam pad."

Yi Yang was worried that Zhang Bushou's father would be angry, but he said with a relieved expression: "It's unbelievable... This bastard has grown so big... He has never done anything serious..."

Yi Yang asked in surprise, "Uncle, do you think this is a serious matter?"

"Isn't that serious? You think us too conservatively..."

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

Zhang Bushou did feel that hard work pays off.In his ears, a song is like what Jiang Lili said: "In the drummer's ears, music is four-dimensional."

First of all, it is the drum, which determines how long the song will be sung. It is at the bottom, carrying the whole song forward.Then the upper layer is the bass sound, which determines the chord direction and emotional trend of the whole song...The upper layer is the rich and pleasant guitar, keyboard sound, and sometimes vocal harmony, and these three layers are Commonly known as "accompaniment".

The top one is Yi Yang's singing.

Yi Yang is the most eye-catching talent on the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower, and he is holding his brother to shine at the bottom... Ah, I am so touched!
While the rehearsal was in full swing, the school sports meeting also started...
