my life is running wild

Chapter 51 Is This Guitar Expensive?
Liu Dahua's initiative failed to satisfy Mr. Lei after all.

After Liu Dahua excitedly brought the guitar to the meeting room and played and sang for more than 20 minutes, Mr. Lei asked him to rest on the grounds that "you are tired".

Immediately afterwards, Teacher Lei said again: "Dahua is tired, who else can play musical instruments? Playing drums is fine."

As before, he seemed to say "not picky", but his eyes were fixed on Liu Chengyin.

Liu Chengyin had no choice but to "volunteer himself" again.

After sealing Liu Dahua with the phrase "You're tired", no one who doesn't know what to do takes the initiative to stand up and block Liu Chengyin's gun.

Liu Dahua didn't think too much about it, at least he didn't see what he had in mind, and even took the initiative to take Liu Chengyin to his room to pick out musical instruments, and the simple man set it up firmly.

Liu Chengyin did not go to Liu Dahua's room to pick up musical instruments, because as far as Liu Chengyin knew, Liu Dahua used all Western instruments.

And the only western musical instrument that Liu Chengyin knew was the piano. However, it was impossible to carry a piano with him everywhere, so although Liu Dahua could play it, he didn't bring it with him.

Apart from the piano, the only instrument Liu Chengyin knows is the guzheng.

Fortunately, although Liu Dahua does not have a guzheng among his musical instruments, there are instruments that can be used as a guzheng
Liu Chengyin stared directly at the guitar in Liu Dahua's hand.

Guitar and zither actually have a lot of similarities.

They are all plucked plucked instruments, which are adjusted by pressing the strings with the left hand and plucking the strings with the right hand for pronunciation.

And the playing techniques are similar, you can tease or sweep.

To tell the difference...

In addition to playing the guitar, you don’t need to wear picks, but you have to wear the guzheng. It is because of cultural influence that the ancient music of Huaguo is based on the "five tones", which leads to the traditional musical instruments in Huaguo. .

Of course, it does not mean that the five-tone structure cannot play the seven-tone, but it is possible.

It's just that, although the traditional musical instruments of Huaguo can also play the seven tones, the other two tones other than the five tones belong to the "sound change", which requires special and relatively difficult "sound change" techniques to obtain. Can't play all seven notes.

Western musical instruments are different in that they are designed directly according to the "seven tones", so the seven tones can be played in the simplest possible way.

Compared with Western musical instruments that have seven tones in the "original tone" and are easy to learn, the entry threshold for traditional Chinese musical instruments is too high.

The difficulty of popularizing things is often proportional to the difficulty of entry.

The threshold of learning may be a major reason why Western musical instruments are more popular, while Huaguo musical instruments are declining day by day.

Liu Chengyin was very curious. Since there are playing techniques in which five tones can be changed into seven tones in ancient books, it means that the ancients already knew the existence of seven tones, so why not directly design the instrument to be convenient for playing seven tones?
Liu Chengyin conjectured: This may be because in ancient my country, musical instruments were ritual vessels and were used to worship ancestors.

It seems that the more complicated and heavy, the more ceremonial it is.

Perhaps in the eyes of the ancients, the more difficult it is to use a musical instrument, the higher the threshold, and the higher the requirements for musicians, so that it can reflect the worshiper's respect and sincerity for the ancestors, right?
In addition, it is also possible that the number "five" has a special meaning in Huaguo culture, right?
The book is back to normal.

Because the playing techniques of guitar and zither are similar.

Even if Liu Chengyin has never learned guitar.

But he has "amateur-level" [music theory] knowledge, which includes the part about the guitar.

With this knowledge about guitar, Liu Chengyin can complete the introduction of guitar alone with a little practice.

In addition, Liu Chengyin can even play the Guzheng, which has a higher learning threshold, and the seven-tone guzheng needs to be played through complicated "transformation". So although he still needs to "transform the tone" to get started, the difficulty of the technique is almost unreasonable. Isn't it easy to play a seven-note guitar with one hand?

The fact is exactly the same. Based on the guitar knowledge provided by [Music Theory] in his mind, combined with the skills of pressing and picking strings from the guzheng, Liu Chengyin probably tried it out, and he basically grasped the playing of the guitar. play skills.

For the first time playing the guitar, Liu Chengyin did not intend to challenge any difficult pieces, and directly chose an easy one from the pieces he had mastered.

Of course, Liu Chengyin was also worried about breaking Liu Dahua's guitar and losing money.
Through the knowledge of musical instrument selection given by [Music Theory], Liu Chengyin can clearly feel that the guitar in his hand is definitely not cheaper than the [-] guzheng!

However, Liu Chengyin only knows five songs in total
The main reason is that I'm too busy these days, and I don't have time to learn those scores that are available on the market.

Among the five pieces, the simplest one is the one he comprehended for the first time today through associating the "sound of dripping water".

This song, Liu Chengyin named it——

"Dululululuda"!
At first glance, the meaning is unclear.

The so-called "dululululuda" is actually the "decomposition" of "tick" in the impression of ordinary people.

Therefore, the more serious name of this piece is "Tick Tock" or "The Sound of Dripping Water".

Liu Chengyin began to play.
dripping

dripping

Drip Didi
Da Li Di La Le

dripping

dripping

Drip Didi
di la le le

Da Li Da Li Da Li Di

Drip Drip Drip Drip
Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Toot toot toot toot toot toot toot
In the past, when there were only drumbeats and no pitch, Mr. Lei and the others could all cheer up. Now, with more tones, this makes the music more three-dimensional and more exciting!
The joyful and fast melody quickly made everyone in the room lose their ability to think, and couldn't help but jump up to the music.

While jumping, he hummed along with the melody with "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm」or "la la la la" in his mouth.

However, while jumping, they didn't let go of what they were doing, they just subconsciously sped up their movements following the fast-paced melody.

Listening to Liu Chengyin's playing, the person in charge of lighting the fire felt that the fire in the stove was inappropriate in this atmosphere, and without even thinking about it, he added firewood and quickly increased the fire!

Fortunately, Mr. Lei also got the BUFF enhancement, and the stir-frying speed was increased. When the water was quickly evaporated by the fierce fire, there was no burnt.

Not only that, even the cameraman in charge of shooting couldn't help shaking. Under the audience's protest, they quickly fixed the camera on the shelf, which gave the audience a little watching experience.

A piece of "Dululululuda" is only less than 3 minutes long, but Liu Chengyin listened to the piece he played, and he was very motivated when he heard it, and he couldn't stop at all. He played a piece over and over again .

In addition, as he became more and more familiar with the guitar, his playing speed gradually accelerated...

Until there is a "bounce".
The strings are broken.

Only then did Liu Chengyin wake up from the fear of "losing money".

Liu Chengyin, who was so regretful, slapped his face and covered his face: "Damn it, I'm having fun! I can't hold back!"

Afterwards, Liu Chengyin turned to Liu Dahua who had been staring at his hand and asked, "Is this guitar expensive?"

At this moment, Liu Dahua was still staring at Liu Chengyin's hand, with a look of seeing a ghost on his face, when he suddenly heard Liu Chengyin's question, he subconsciously shook his head and replied, "It's not expensive."

Liu Chengyin breathed a sigh of relief.

"This guitar is only thirty wa." However, Liu Dahua didn't finish his sentence.

"You don't need to pay." Teacher Lei interrupted the spellcasting, and then turned to look at the director behind the camera: "For the effect of this show, you don't pay for the show, are you sorry? A string is a small amount of money for you, right?"
