Since Hugo is now at home and does not seem to have any hope of getting a script invitation in the short term, Hugo can't wait to head towards the city center. As long as he thought of being able to start his band career again, Hugo felt his blood boiling, and there was an irrepressible 'agitation' in his body.

Joseph saw that Hugo was able to fully pick himself up and put the Uma affair behind him for the time being, so he did not dampen Hugo's positive 'sex', although in his eyes, the band has never been the main profession of an actor.

When Hugo arrived at the Bar of Arles, it was only six o'clock in the evening, and the night had just sunk, and there was a glowing dark blue 'color' that made the sky look like an uncarved 'jade' stone. The roads of the poor streets are now a little rushed because of the 'dark' of the night, intermittent neon lights, and the prostitutes on the streets are gradually increasing. The 'female', leaning on the street corner and looking around, outlines the true face of this neighborhood in a dim and hazy light.

Hugo was wearing a dark blue 'base' ball hoodie, with his guitar behind his back and his hat over his head, a pair of worn skate shoes and a low grinding sound from the street, which seemed to blend perfectly with the poor street, not at all like an outsider, so no one noticed him at all, and even if someone saw him, the guitar behind him was a sign that he should be a regular at Al Bar, and no one would come forward to disturb him.

Pushing open the big dilapidated 'door' of the bar, which seems to fall down at any moment, the goose yellow 'colored' lights inside greet you, although a shabby western style can be seen everywhere, and there is no sense of disharmony with the street outside, but it still makes people feel a burst of warmth, which is completely different from the atmosphere outside. At this time, there were already a lot of people sitting in the bar, and there was a group of people around the two billiard tables at the entrance of the 'door', and there was also a group of young people in the dart area at the back.

It's a far cry from Hugo's last rock night, and you can see that behind the bar is the stage that night, but it's been torn down in favor of a jukebox, a pachinko machine and a pool table. This suddenly makes the whole interior of the bar more spacious.

Hugo looked left and right, and although he could see a lot of people carrying musical instruments, it was not a wise idea to go up and say hello, so Hugo walked directly to the bar, found an empty seat and sat down, and then unloaded the guitar and put it at his feet. snapped his fingers and beckoned the bartender to ask for a bottle of beer, but when he saw the bartender in front of him, Hugo's movements stopped and smiled, "I didn't know that Al Bar didn't have enough money to hire a professional bartender?"

The man in front of him was Greenhill, the owner of Al Bar. Green was wiping his glass with a white cloth and looking at Hugo with a smile, "Economic crises always catch people off guard, don't they?" The economic crisis was already two years ago, and it made Hugo roll his eyes.

"Then I don't know what the bartender's skills are, it's a real headache." Hugo teased with a smile.

Green shrugged his shoulders and said solemnly, "At least I don't have a problem with Long Island Iced Tea." ”

"That'...... I still want a beer. Hugo also put away his smile and said solemnly.

As a result, Green thought about it for a while, and then said with certainty, "I can tell you this with great certainty, no problem." With that, Green walked to the side, turned on the tap, poured a beer, handed it to Hugo, and said with a smile, "Count it on my account." ”

"Thank you." Hugo raised his glass to Green as a sign of gratitude. Hugo's eyes fell on a target stapled to the side of the wine cabinet, the surface of the target was obscured by several newspapers, as if it was a newspaper clip, but the target was pierced by more than a dozen darts, piercing the newspapers with a thousand holes, Hugo pointed to the target with the wine glass, "Novelty?"

Green looked back and explained with a smile, "It's just that we don't agree with the news above and show our protest, and the customers who come to the bar always like to stick on it, and the four police officers when the Rodney King incident broke out last year." Photos of Cha are very popular here. ”

This ingenious idea made Hugo laugh and give Green a thumbs up.

Not far away, someone beckoned to the "bartender" Hugo and Grimm to look at the past, it was a 'woman', her figure was very hot, even if the high-necked 'woolen' shirt was tightly covered, it was not able to block the curve of the scenery, and her long black 'colored' hair was full of exotic style, but what was surprising was that her facial features were not 'sexy' at all, but a little cute, and her eyes were even more curious.

Hugo and Green looked at each other, and Hugo saw the glint in Green's eyes, and couldn't help but smile clearly. Green whispered, "You don't mind?" Hugo reacted immediately, "Oh, of course, of course, please." He even made an inviting gesture with his free left hand, signaling for Green to be light.

Green breathed a sigh of relief, "Whew, destroy a strong opponent." Then he smiled and walked over to the 'girl', and Hugo, who was sitting there, couldn't help but smile.

After taking another big sip of beer, Hugo's eyes fell on the target just now, and he was a little curious about what the news that had been cursed by everyone in the past two days was, and he looked at it carefully, but Hugo's movements stopped. Nailed to the target is the previous reports of the "National Enquirer" about Hugo's big name, although there are only a dozen darts on it, but the newspaper itself is already full of holes.

Hugo looked back at Green who was picking up girls, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but bloom, knowing that it feels really good to have friends who are willing to stand on his side, even if Hugo and Green have only met once.

"Hey, hey, hey, look who's coming." A voice came from behind Hugo, and before Hugo could turn around, he felt that his right shoulder was patted, but when he looked back to the right, there was no one, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Giulio Pedro Cesar Casa's youthful face suddenly magnified in front of him, which startled Hugo. "Hugo, where the hell have you gone, why have you disappeared for so long, I was talking to my friends two days ago, when will you reappear?"

"What, you miss me?" Hugo deliberately squinted his eyes and looked Pedro up and down, and said in a mocking tone.

Unexpectedly, Pedro said directly, "Yes, I miss you." Hugo was stunned, choked, and kept coughing. Pedro smiled and patted Hugo's left shoulder, "Do you miss me too?"

Hugo patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Cut, what do you have worth thinking about?" I don't remember any good things about you, other than your constant bragging and lying. ”

Pedro was immediately 'excited' by Hugo's words, "Hey, man, I told you, I'm a very 'good' bass player, I'm serious!" Speaking of professionalism here, Pedro seemed very strict, but he didn't have the same giggling appearance as before, "Although I don't play the guitar as well as you, uh...... The creation is not as good as you, but when it comes to bass, I have absolute confidence. ”

Hugo leaned back and looked at Pedro again. In fact, the last time they met, the duel between Hugo and Neil Anderson stole the limelight, and his impression of Pedro was that he had a sense of arrogance, but this arrogance was his dedication to music. It can be seen that Pedro is a young man with an endless passion for music, but other than that, Hugo knows zero about Pedro.

Looking at Hugo's looking gaze, Pedro immediately came up arrogantly again, "Hmph, look at your disbelieving eyes, let me show you both hands." Speaking of what he was good at, Pedro's eyes bloomed with a different kind of confidence, and then he looked at Hugo with disdain, which reminded Hugo of the first time he and Pedro met at the 'door' of the car dealership, "But do you know how to appreciate bass?"

While the bass looks similar to the electric guitar in appearance, these are two very different instruments. Hugo has always believed that a band without a good bassist is not a qualified band, in fact, strictly speaking, the "color" of a band must be the "color" of every link, because this is a team, this is the meaning of the band's existence. It's also a very different kind of thinking from the over-emphasis on guitars that bands are now in vogue.

In fact, the function of the bass and the guitar is completely different, the bass is responsible for the bass and rhythm, is the bass part of the whole band, it is generally used as a necessary connection between the guitar and the drum kit, which also makes the bass player must be more comprehensive, he must learn more about the harmony theory, become the band's tandem and communicator, on the one hand, the bass and the drum kit together to control the rhythm, on the other hand, with the guitar, keyboard melody and harmony, so the bass player's task is very difficult.

Hugo didn't know much about the skills of the bass, his talent for the instrument was focused on the guitar, and with the addition of a piano was the limit, it was impossible for him to play the bass. He only knows that the bass is very technical, and he may feel that it is easier to use at first, but because the bass strings are thicker, the fingers are required to be stronger, and the picks should be avoided as much as possible, and the fingertips should be relied on to break down the chords as much as possible, which can achieve the purpose of playing. This makes it more difficult to improve the technique, and the bassist who is really 'good' can play a 'fine' melody without the help of any other instrument.

However, due to the long-term creation, Hugo's understanding of bass is more from arrangement, so Hugo pays more attention to the string effect of bass on the whole band and the whole song.

In the face of Pedro's provocation, Hugo didn't say much, but just 'showed' a smile and said, "Come and shock me!"
