171 guitar competition

"I don't believe you, I don't believe you......" The young man in front of him was like a leopard waiting for an opportunity, his black curly hair drooped down casually, with a serious expression on his face, looking like he was facing an extraordinarily strict life and death event, shaking his head vigorously.

"Giulio ......," Hugo's voice came out, and the young man cut him off directly, "Call me pepe." Hugo also said casually, "Pepe, why don't you believe it?" I'm just saying that I can write a rock song without a guitar, but there's no guarantee that the song will be of high quality. ”

"Liar!" The young man named Pepe in front of him was the young man who gave Hugo a leaflet at the 'door' of the car dealership in the morning, and he and Neil knew each other, although they were not friends, but they had also met more or less in this circle. The young man's full name was Julio Pedro, Cesar and Casa. pedro。 cesar。 casa), as soon as you hear the name, you know that it is Brazilian, and the permutations and combinations of the name plus the Christian name plus the mother's surname and the father's surname make people 'dazzled' and 'confused'.

Pedro just saw Neil, so he came up to say hello, and then he saw the makeover Hugo, and he quickly recognized this as the "Wall Street person" in the morning, so he joked, "Wall Street's spare time seems to be very good." "In fact, two streets north of Poor Street is Wall Street in Los Angeles, where many financial centers are located. But just across the street, it's like two worlds, and the stark contrast makes people sigh even more.

Unexpectedly, Neil sued Pedro that Hugo was a very 'good' guitarist, which aroused Pedro's strong suspicions. A thousand words can't compare to a real gun, and as a result, Hugo also played live on the street, which caused Neil to itch, and the two of them stood on the side of the street and began to play the guitar. Although the acoustic guitar duel lacks a bit of the auditory 'excitement' of the electric guitar, the high-'tide' skills are still dazzling and 'chaotic', attracting many people to come and watch.

Hugo used to be glorious to death, responsible for the melodic guitar, his understanding is more in the melody and creation, if purely on speed, this is not Hugo's strength, compared to those world-famous guitar fast players, how much worse is a street, but Hugo's skills are very skillful, strumming the strings, flicking the fingers, the fingers of the wheel fingers are absolutely "colorful". With his left hand pressing the chords and his right hand flying on the five guitar strings, a burst of high-altitude music brought out a terrifying tornado above the eardrums, making the beating speed of the heart and the rushing speed of the blood reach a high 'tide' with the change of fingertips.

If Hugo's 'flowers' are endless, then Neil's guitar skills can be called relaxed, his control of rhythm and speed has reached the point of 'wanting', Neil's string speed is at least twice as fast as Hugo's, the continuous halo almost makes people can't see the outline of Neil's fingers, only feel a phantom sweeping in the sight, the smooth melody evolves from a gurgling stream to a rushing river, roaring down, spectacular and jaw-dropping. What's more, Neil is not only fast, his control of the rhythm is perfect, like a river rushing towards the sea, there are turbulence and soothing, there are turns and stagnations, and the whole process of appreciation is like a roller coaster or a drifting kayak, thrilling and exciting.

In fact, if you really want to distinguish a high and low, it is almost impossible, because Hugo is more inclined to melodic guitar, while Neil is more good at rhythm guitar, even the same guitar is a different type of work, and it is impossible to decide the winner. But what is certain is that both of them are 'colorful' guitarists, although it is another thing to stand on the stage and perform, and the cooperation with the other members of the band, the ability to control the atmosphere of the scene, and the transfer of the performance status will have an impact, but there is no doubt that the excellence of both of them is undoubted.

Hugo and Neil played guitar for three rounds, and the super competition between the top and bottom pushed the atmosphere of the street to a high 'tide'. Those who will come to the poor street tonight to participate in the rock night, even if they are not band members, are all veteran music lovers, so it is natural to see the advantages and disadvantages, Hugo and Neil, the two highly skilled 'trendy' guitarists, quickly aroused the applause of everyone around, and the hot discussion and admiration made many people around blow. Whistle.

In the professional field, superb professional skills can always easily win the applause of insiders - of course, the premise is that there must be real materials, otherwise the end of the class 'door' and 'get' axe will be even more miserable. But obviously, Hugo and Neil won the applause.

Pedro was even more amazed, he didn't see that Hugo was actually hidden and not 'revealed', and even Neil he knew seemed to be more 'refined', which made him immediately have a fundamental change in Hugo, and he did not hesitate to praise himself and expressed his admiration for Hugo.

In fact, Pedro's group of young people are like this, they may be rebellious, tricky or troublesome in front of outsiders, but in the field of music, they are very simple, they just lock their eyes on music, they can become friends simply because of the same musical hobby, and they will also generously express their appreciation because of their musical admiration.

This simplicity is also the reason why many classic rock bands eventually went to extinction: there was a conflict in musical ideas, although many bands also ended because of internal conflicts between members, and other factors are not excluded, but it is undeniable that the divergence of musical ideas is indeed the reason why most of the bands have gone downhill.

Later, there were also many young people around, and they took out the guitar and raced on the scene, everyone discussed with each other and learned from each other, and the atmosphere was so lively. With Hugo and Neil as the center, a small circle of more than 20 people has been formed around them, so that Hugo really integrates into this circle, this is the charm of music, even if it is the first time to meet, it doesn't matter, because music can become a bridge of communication with each other.

However, the cheerful atmosphere soon changed due to the divergent opinions on the music, and Pedro lamented that the guitar was now so indispensable in rock music that the place of other instruments was neglected. Pedro was actually fighting for himself, because he was a bassist, and what he said was true, until 2000, the guitar in rock bands was transcendent, and many famous bands often had the same popularity as the lead singer.

For example, S1ash of Guns N'Rose, for example, Kirk-Hammit (Irik of Metallica). Ha-ett) and James Hunterfield (James. Hetfield), such as the Van Helen Band (van. Eddie. van。 halen)。 These are all guitarists who have gone down in history, and they have an unimaginably large following.

Many classic rock songs at this stage will have a special melody 'handed over' to the guitar for playing, which shows the absolute status of the guitar.

In the face of Pedro's complaints, Hugo did not think so, because he knew that in the 21st century, the band actually emphasized more on the whole and the richness and diversity of music, such as Linkin Park. Park), U2, C01DPLAY, Republican Era (ONE. republic), my chemical 'wave' comic (my. chemical。 romaple。 p1an).

This is mainly a question of the development of the 'tide' of music, and most of the metal rock bands of the 80s were 'obsessed' with technological innovation, and the complex playing techniques and intricate arrangements were 'tide' currents, which also pushed rock technology to a peak. During this period, the metal band replaced rock and roll to a new peak, and the cumbersome and high 'tide' technology is a necessary skill for every band, which is why the duel between Hugo and Neil guitar just now can attract so many onlookers, because people's attention to technology has reached a new height, and rock lovers are also keen on technical competition and technical improvement, and the difficult lead guitar has become the core of the metal band; The technical 'color' is also reflected in the arrangement, most of the music of this period is dominated by guitars, intricate arrangements as the mainstream, and a lot of emotional catharsis is integrated into the distorted silver 'color' and extreme volume, pushing metal rock to an extreme. In this period, the guitar was unparalleled in the importance of 'sex' for metal rock bands.

But in the 90s, this kind of innovation in technology gradually came into a dead end, rock bands entered the dilemma of the same, and the emergence of a large number of imitation bands made it difficult for metal rock to have new ideas, so in the first half of this decade, new metal with an open and concise architecture began to gradually rise, and from the second half of the 90s became the mainstream, replanning the map of rock music. It feels like a more important place in the neo-metal bands than in terms of technology, although there are also zài skilled bands in the neo-metal bands, but most of them still take over the mainstream, and their playing skills may not be 'outstanding', but they can rely on a variety of arrangements to present the music in the simplest way. It was during this period that the absolute position of the guitar was replaced.

Finally, in the 21st century, the development of new metal bands declined again, and the diversity and fusion of music reached a new level, and the rock band at this time emphasized the coordination between instruments and the overall 'nature' of the band. Technical excellence is indispensable, but at the same time, it is not advisable to rigidly carve technology, and how to use technology to serve the senses and how to integrate musical ideas into the melody have become new issues. At this time, no instrument is irreplaceable, and at the same time, more diverse and top-notch techniques are also valued by the band, and it can be said that the development of rock music has entered another stage.

It's 1992, the new metal music has not yet formed a prototype, Hugo at this time put forward the proposition that you can create a rock song without a guitar, which in the 80s when metal rock is still strong, Hugo was immediately attacked by a circle of people around him, which made Hugo personally experience what is called "new things always face heavy blows...... mobile phone is now in a better position in society and culture than Hugo's current situation.

Pedro shouted with an indignant look on his face, "Liar! You just said you can create a good rock song without a guitar, you said!" After saying that, Pedro also looked at the other people around him, looking for an alliance, which was obviously not difficult, and everyone around him was Pedro's alliance, including Neil.

Hugo smiled dumbly, "Okay, even if I say so, then, sue me, why do you think it can't be done?" In fact, in Hugo's view, whether it is technical or emotional, it is all for music, and the musical ideas he accepts are solid technical skills, 'color' playing skills, rich interpretation methods, and a variety of elements to express the colorful 'color' of rock music in his own way.

"Because ......" Pedro opened his mouth to say the reason, but he couldn't say the reason for a while, mainly because there is no fixed pattern for music creation, and if there is a fixed pattern, it is plagiarism. Therefore, it is really difficult to insist on saying a rule or something.

This was the case in the early nineties, when pop was pop, rock was rock, hip-hop was hip-hop; However, in the 21st century, jazz blends soul and pop, rhythm and blues blend rock and hip-hop, and various styles of 'mixing' make it even more difficult to accurately describe a musical style.

Hugo directly interrupted Pedro's words, "Is it because the mainstream is like this now, because the Nirvana band is like this, the AC/DC band is like this, the metal band is like this, the Stone Rose is like this, and the Smith band is like this, so it has to be like this?" Hugo's series of words silenced the people around him, and Pedro looked at Hugo even more dumbfounded, and Hugo obviously hadn't finished speaking, "I don't know, when rock and roll also began to promote the mainstream, is it authentic rock only to follow these so-called mainstreams?"

This series of rhetorical questions made everyone speechless, and Neil, who was sitting next to Hugo, began to bow his head and think deeply, this remark seems shocking, but it is the last word.

"Shouldn't we have broken the shackles and created our own style? If not, then why are we so happy when Nirvana is successful?" Hugo's words did not deliberately increase the momentum, just like his usual tone like a 'spring' wind, but quietly penetrated into everyone's heart, deafening.

"But...... But ......" Pedro is like a child who does not admit defeat, and wants to argue twice, but finds that he can't say a reason at all, but Neil, who has been sitting next to him, said, "Since you think so, and you say you can do it, then, show the evidence!"

Neil's words immediately made Pedro grasp the lifeline, "Yes, prove it, can you prove it?"

Hugo looked at the eyes of everyone who were focused on him, this kind of hot, expectant and provocative eyes made Hugo feel a slight heat on his skin, not only did he not have any timidity, but there was a heroic momentum spontaneously. So, Hugo nodded confidently and smiled brightly, "Why not?"
