Chapter 21
Although Li Mu has always been a music lover, playing the guitar group in college can only be regarded as an amateur, but he is also a very serious and immersed lover for many years. He basically has all kinds of singers, bands and styles at home and abroad. There are dabbling and can distinguish very clearly.
Generally speaking, even if a band is only at the stage of imitating others, it should not try a little bit of any song or style. In this way, it is no different from a resident band in a bar. If you really want to be a good band, you first need to give Set a style by yourself, and then try to absorb the nutrients in this style. Finally, even if you cover other people's songs, you can play your own style.
However, what Zhang Kexuan and the others are playing is really nothing new.
"Then do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Kexuan scratched his head, his face a little uneasy.
Li Mu shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "If you want to have fun, you should put down your instruments first, have a meeting to discuss your preferred style and route, and then work hard on that path together."
After speaking, Li Mu said ruthlessly: "If you just play casually, try any style at home and abroad, it's easy to do, anyway, there is an entertainment bar when you go out to the intersection, you can go there at night. Resident."
This year, Jinling's consumption level, four people in the resident band, sing for one or two hours a night, at most 400 yuan.
But the four of them are all real rich second-generation, who would care about this kind of money? And, for them, going to a bar to perform is a very low thing.
Although the faces of the four of them are not very good-looking, but what Li Mu said is the truth, full of truth, even if the four of them are confused, they cannot refute it.
Another guitarist said, "Hey, little brother, didn't you write your own songs? Just in time, go to the recording studio and show us?"
The bass player and the drummer were also instigating, and the drummer said in a weird tone: "That is, show and show, let us see the world, everyone can play, and few can cook. Everyone is a gourmet."
Li Mu looked at the drummer buried in the pile of cymbals and shook his head helplessly. It seemed that they were not very convinced. Don't let me tell the truth, are you second-generation rich so hypocritical?
Immediately, Li Mu only asked the drummer one sentence: "Dude, your equipment is absolutely awesome, and there is nothing to say about the top class."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu saw a trace of smugness on the other party's face, and then he changed the topic: "I won't talk about the cymbal, it is necessary to have a drum kit, but you only have crash cymbals. 16, 17, 18 inch, there are three full, there are also water cymbals, ding ding, and even Chinese cymbals, but I see that you have arranged three songs. Among them, in addition to the hi-hat and a Crash closest to you, the other five cymbals, you I didn't touch it, what's your mentality? Playing drums or showing off your wealth?"
"You..." The drummer thought Li Mu was complimenting himself, but he heard almost a mouthful of black blood spurting out at the end.
Yes, everyone who plays music has this mentality. No matter how good the technology is, first get the equipment as complete as possible, especially if you have a couple of dollars, you can't help it, and you can't wait to buy everything you can There are very few of them that can be used. He put out so many cymbals for the sake of being visually powerful. As for his skills, he can't play them at all.
Zhang Kexuan doesn't dare to despise Li Mu this time. Don't look at his age, but his eyes and mouth are really poisonous. He is really good or pretending to be good. People can see it at a glance. This method is cruel.
So Zhang Kexuan said, "Li Mu, I didn't expect you to be an expert, let's go, let's go to the recording studio."
Li Mu shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Let's go then."
Anyway, they have come, so you rich people can pretend to be coercive,
Don't let me act like a slut? What about trouble?
As soon as he entered the recording studio, Li Mu found that the equipment here was more professional and more powerful than the outside. For other instruments that require amp pickup.
There is also a Martin's original electric box guitar. In layman's terms, it can be understood as an acoustic guitar that can be plugged in and output. This brand of guitar costs at least tens of thousands of dollars in top-quality goods. Really rich.
Zhang Kexuan took Li Mu and the others into the outside of the recording studio, and said to Li Mu, "Look at it, you can use all the equipment here. If you need other instruments to match with you, we can also help."
"Don't bother." Li Mu thought to himself, isn't he just recording a song "Zebra Zebra" for Chen Wan, it's not that troublesome, such a good acoustic guitar, such a good microphone and tuning equipment are enough.
So Li Mu said, "I'll just play and sing the recording."
"Amateur." The drummer curled his lips: "The vocals should be recorded separately. When you play and sing, the sound of the guitar will also be partially captured by the vocal microphone, and the effect will be worse."
"You're right." Li Mu nodded and asked back: "This is similar to the nature of the five cymbals you don't use, and the technical level is not that professional. What's the use of such professional equipment?"
"I wipe..." The drummer was almost angry, Zhang Kexuan hurriedly gave him a wink, and said to Li Mu, "You can do it if you think it's appropriate, come on, let's start."
Li Mu also took the nature of playing tickets, connected the guitar to the device, adjusted the microphone, Zhang Kexuan also made an OK gesture outside, the device was ready, and he could start at any time.
So, Li Mu played the prelude to "Zebra Zebra".
A few buddies originally thought that Li Mu couldn't write anything good at his age, but when the simple and melodious fingerstyle prelude came out, a few people immediately changed their color. This kind of foundation is not the ability to play the guitar, but the real arrangement skills.
When Li Mu sang the first sentence, Zhang Kexuan only felt his brain exploded with a bang. Although he hadn't heard the reason, he didn't know what the song was going to sing, but Li Mu's slightly hoarse voice matched the song. The melody and the perfect tone of Martin's guitar were enough to amaze him.
Chen Wan was fascinated as early as the moment the prelude sounded. When he was at Li Mu's house, his guitar was still a lot inferior. In addition, there was no professional equipment, and the soundstage atmosphere was worse than it is now. After all, this is top-notch equipment! Listening to this song like this, the whole person almost melts into the note.
Li Mu's song was completed in one go, and there were no mistakes in his voice and playing. He was very satisfied this time, so he stood up, pushed open the soundproof door, and said to Zhang Kexuan, "I think this should be alright, it's a demo, There’s no need to be too lean.”
Zhang Kexuan looked at Li Mu like a monster, that drummer... that drummer was already blushing.
Chen Wan feels as if she has just recovered from a different kind of faint sadness. This should be the charm of music, creating an atmosphere, tricking you in, and then pulling out the similar feelings deep in your heart. , so that after a song, you seem to be hollowed out by the song.
Chen Wan, who recovered, clapped her hands excitedly: "The singing is great, it's really great!"
Zhang Kexuan also feels shameless. He is only eighteen years old, and he has already played so well in the original game, but he is twenty-four, and he has not yet written a complete song.
Thinking of this, Zhang Kexuan's heart throbbed.
Just a few days ago, he was still trying to write a song about the dissatisfaction of the angry youth with the society, but he couldn't help it. It's not surprising that 90% of the rock players these days are in the tune.
The point is, Zhang Kexuan is just an amateur player. He didn't understand that most people write songs first and then write lyrics, but he didn't understand, so he wanted to write a beautiful, rebellious and critical lyrics first. It's called "Mom, please take me home quickly".
The idea of the lyrics is to the effect: the author is fed up with social injustice and indifference in the world, and hopes that my mother can bring herself home and stay away from these filth.
Unfortunately, I only wrote two sentences of the lyrics, and then I couldn't hold them back. Then Zhang Kexuan saw the draft of the lyrics by accident, and cursed angrily: "You still ask my mother to take you home sooner? You yourself I haven't been home for three days, and I can't find you when I look for you! Do you all like to open your eyes and talk nonsense like this?"
Come on, I was stuck in the shell, and after being scolded by his mother like this, I gave up completely.
At this time, Li Mu saw that the four members of the band did not speak, and couldn't help asking: "Can you play it again for me to listen to?"
Zhang Kexuan reacted and said quickly, "Okay, okay, wait."
After listening to the replay, not only the other five people were satisfied, but Li Mu himself was also satisfied, and said to Chen Wan, "Sister Wan, is this okay?"
"Hmm, perfect!" Chen Wan admired Li Mu more than that.
"Okay, let's call it a day. Please, Brother Zhang, cut it and copy it out. You don't need to do the post-production."
Zhang Kexuan hesitated for a while, then asked tentatively, "Li Mu, you... do you have any other originals?"
