Chapter 223 Guitar and Percussion

It was still very cold in the imperial capital in the first month, and no one could stay in the yard for a long time, even with a bonfire.

So, after the initial bustle, everyone finds a room to stay.Then in the warm room, continue to drink, eat meat and sing.

Fourth Uncle's courtyard is very large, the kind of courtyard with three entrances, with more than ten rooms inside and outside, which is enough for visitors to have a shelter from the wind, so small circles are formed in this way.

The small circle is not fixed, those who toast each other, those who play the piano, and those who fight songs, it feels a bit like a karaoke box in later generations.Of course, the main house must be the busiest, both the host and the guest of honor are here, so this has become the place where the most people come to toast.

Although Wang Xu's social attributes are not very high, he is still a man of reputation. Toasts are often just to raise his glass and stick his lower lip, but he doesn't really drink it. Although if he really drinks it, he won't be drunk, but he is not I don't like this way of drinking.

Drinking, it's still a small bar, friends, chatting, the atmosphere is the most harmonious.The worst is a table of people, playing the piano and playing the strings, singing and dancing, it is also a beautiful thing.In a large-scale wine bureau like this, drinking becomes purely a job, which is very boring.

Of course Wang Fei is the same, everyone has to respect when they come, but Wang Fei just touches his lips and doesn't really drink.

In fact, she didn't even take a sip of wine today, because she didn't like to drink like this. If there were only these few people, she would definitely drink. If there are too many people, she will lose interest.

Soon a group of people became acquainted, and the topic quickly turned back to music.

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

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

"Oh, really?" The fourth child seemed to be interested all of a sudden, and his eyes seemed to light up when he swept away the slightly listless expression just now.

He is really a music fanatic, he has long heard the legends about the fourth son practicing guitar, but he did not expect it to be quite the same.

"Come on?" The fourth uncle took a guitar from the side and handed it to Wang Xu.

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

I have heard the fourth brother's guitar, it is really awesome.

Play an old tune, be happy today, show off one. "Wang Xu is not modest.

The fourth brother really plays the guitar well, especially the electric guitar. His solo ability is not unique in this era, but it is really rare, but obviously there is no such equipment here.

There are several very gorgeous and wonderful guitar solos in the song Dreaming Back to Tang Dynasty. The prelude is majestic, the interlude is colorful, and the ending is like a fairy. The momentum, the style, absolutely.

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

After taking the guitar, I didn't hesitate to try it a few times, and then I tapped the different positions of the guitar with my hands seemingly randomly, from the position to the body of the guitar, carefully listening to the different timbres everywhere, and then slightly nodded.

Folk guitar, showing off skills and using folk songs is a bit difficult, especially for Huaxia in this era.It was only in the 80s that the guitar became popular among young people, and it was very rare before that.

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

Moreover, the really gorgeous fingerstyle skills, even in Europe and the United States, are not well developed now, and many fancy ways of playing are still blank, so Wang Xu intends to show off one.

Because a lot of fancy gameplay is a bit unrefined to put it bluntly, and it is more for showing off.

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

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

Wang Xu stood up with his guitar in his arms. The ostentatious guitar took a lot of energy. The main reason was that there were many movements that required a full forearm to be played, and it was impossible to do it while sitting.

"Dengdengdeng, wait." Familiar yet unfamiliar tune, familiar is that almost everyone who has studied music knows him, and strange is the first time he hears such an interpretation.

This is Beethoven's "Fate" symphony. Who can imagine that the fate of this classic piano performance is knocking on the door, and it can be shown on the guitar.

Wang Xu's movements are flamboyant and exaggerated, but the movements of his hands are quick to leave afterimages. There is almost no trace of hitting the board and strumming and picking the strings, but he magically plays the timbre that should not exist on the guitar.

He didn't use the guitar as an ordinary plucked instrument at all, but made full use of the body of the guitar, completely using it as a plucked and percussion instrument. Fingers, wrists, palms, and even elbows were all used. full use.

The front, sound hole, side, handle, and different timbres produced by different places are brilliantly interpreted by Wang Xu into a splendid chapter of percussion.

Except for the basic board game, almost all of these techniques have never appeared in China, and many of them have not even appeared in this world.

A guitar played like a small symphony band, and an ordinary folk guitar seemed to have life in Wang Xu's hands.

Wang Xu's slender and white fingers danced on the strings and struck on the body of the qin. Various timbres danced chaotically and orderly, completely combining into a magical symphony of "Fate".

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

This is the first time he has played the guitar with full skills, and his perfectly controllable body allows him to master this kind of exaggerated tricks almost naturally, making his first show of tricks quite perfect.

But Wang Xu stopped playing after one variation.

This thing is too much, it’s amazing at first sight, but it’s the same thing after seeing it a lot. If you want to interpret fate, symphony is more ideal. The magnificent temperament displayed by the orchestration effect that has been honed over time is far beyond the reach of a guitar.

Therefore, since it is a show of skill, it must be just right, not endless.

"Your man is awesome." This is what Yu Chengqing said to Wang Fei after hearing this guitar song, and he has only been in the imperial capital for a few days.

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

"Second brother, I will call you second brother from now on. I never knew that a folk guitar can be played like this." fall down.

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

He doesn't know how good the Dongsi Wanger's electric guitar is, but he knows that this person's folk guitar level is beyond his own.

"The first guitar in the imperial capital, I really don't dare to recognize it, at least in the field of folk songs, in the future, whoever says I'm in a hurry.

Do you have guitar tabs, teach me, I think you can be a master. The fourth child looked at Wang Xu eagerly, with anticipation in his eyes.

"You're polite, we're all friends, we don't care what to teach or not.

Come back to my yard at any time, let's discuss and learn from each other.

It’s okay to learn anything, but just one thing, let me remind you. "

As Wang Xu said, his expression suddenly changed. He was no longer as close as a buddy to everyone, but said in a cold tone with a kind of sternness and determination:

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

That's good, don't touch it in the future, don't even touch it.Otherwise, don't blame me for righteously killing relatives, will it work? "Wang Xu's voice was still slow, but his tone was cold.

Wang Xu knew what kind of virtue this band became, and he had to take precautions.

Now Zhang Ju is in charge of the direction. It can be said that he is still playing rock and roll purely. Later, the soul person passed away, so it doesn’t matter if we don’t talk about it later.

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

It's hard to manage rock youth, but if you can help them, why bother to help them a little bit.

The buddies of the Tang Dynasty were a little overwhelmed. 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 down their spines.

Not at all the laziness of the chat just now, and the green onion of the performance, it is a feeling of indifference and ruthlessness after reading thousands of sails, and regards human life as nothing.This look, this demeanor, it is no exaggeration to say that this Wang Xu is murderous.

"Sure, no problem, listen to your second brother." Zhang Ju was the first to calm down, but he didn't say anything. Being in that circle, he certainly knew those things, and not only did he not dislike Wang Xu in his heart. His coldness and sternness, on the contrary, some agree with it, it seems that there is a story.

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

"Listen to you, second brother." Ding Wen was the last one to express his opinion. He was a tall man with a fearful expression on his face.

He felt that he was being watched by a wolf just now, and looking at himself was like looking at a dead person.

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

Rather than going to kill him if there is a problem, it is better to let him stay away early, to prevent problems before they happen, and it is always better to fix them.

When Wang Xu said this at the moment, it was actually a bit condescending, but this was the fourth uncle's place.

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

Wang Xu's status is even more extraordinary now, not to mention giving him face, there is really no one in the music circle who can pierce him in front of him.

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

Wang Xu knew that after today, there might be countless new versions of the urban legend of the Fourth King of the East and the Second King, and they were rushing in a further unimaginable direction.

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

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