Chapter 256 256 Al's Bar

Since Hugo is currently idle at home, it seems that there is no hope of getting a script invitation in a short time, so Hugo can't wait to set off towards the city center. As long as he thinks of being able to start his band career again, Hugo feels excited and has an uncontrollable excitement in his body.

Joseph saw that Hugo was able to fully cheer up and put the Uma thing behind him for a while, so he didn't discourage Hugo, even though it seemed to him that bands were never the actor's main occupation.

When Hugo arrived at the Al Bar, it was only six o'clock in the evening, and the night had just fallen, and there was a touch of fluorescent navy blue, making the sky look like a piece of uncut jade. The roads on the poor street are a bit rushed now because of the darkness of the night, with intermittent neon lights and more prostitutes on the streets. The female, leaning on the gangster who looked around at the corner, outlined the real face of this block with dim light.

Hugo was wearing a dark blue baseball hoodie, with the guitar behind him and the hat over his head, and a pair of worn skateboard shoes and the street made a low friction sound, which seemed to blend in perfectly with the poor street, a little They didn't look like outsiders, so no one noticed his figure at all. Even if someone spotted him, the guitar behind him indicated that he should be a regular at Al's Bar, and no one would bother him.

Pushing open the shabby door of the bar that seems to fall down at any time, the yellow light inside is oncoming. Although a shabby western style can be seen everywhere, there is no sense of incongruity with the street outside, but it still makes people feel A burst of warmth, which is very different from the atmosphere outside. At this time, a lot of people were sitting in the bar, and there were a group of people around the two pool tables at the door, and there was also a darts area in the innermost where a group of young people joined in the fun.

This is very different from the last time Hugo participated in the rock night. It can be seen that the stage behind the bar is now the stage that night, but at this time it was demolished and put on a table A karaoke machine, a pinball machine and a pool table. This suddenly made the entire interior of the bar more spacious.

Hugo looked left and right. Although he could see a lot of people with musical instruments, it was not a wise idea to go up to say hello. Hugo went straight to the bar, found an empty seat and sat down, then took off his guitar. , put it at your feet. He snapped his fingers and said to the bartender that he wanted a bottle of beer, but when he saw the bartender in front of him, Hugo stopped and smiled, "I don't know that Al Bar doesn't have enough funds to hire a beer. Professional bartender?"

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

"Then I don't know how the bartender's craftsmanship is, it's really a headache." Hugo teased with a smile.

Green shrugged and said solemnly, "At least I'm fine with Long Island Iced Tea."

"Then... I still want a beer." Hugo also put away his smile and said seriously and seriously.

As a result, Green thought about it carefully, and then said with certainty, "I can tell you this for sure, there is no problem." After that, Green walked to the side, turned on the tap and poured a glass of beer, and then handed it to Rain Guo, said with a smile, "It's on my account."

"Thank you." Hugo raised his glass to Green as a gesture of gratitude. Hugo's eyes fell on a target set on the side of the wine cabinet. The surface of the target was blocked by several newspapers, as if it was a newspaper clip, but the target was pierced by a dozen darts. The newspapers were riddled with holes, and Hugo pointed at the target with the finger holding the wine glass, "A novelty?"

Green looked back and explained with a smile, "It's just that we don't agree with the news above and express our protest. The guests who come to the bar always like to put a tie on it. When the Rodney King incident broke out last year, , those four police officers. Pictures of police officers are very welcome here."

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

Not far away, someone greeted the "bartender". Hugo and Green looked at them together. It was a woman with a very hot body. Even the turtleneck sweater could not block the curve of the scenery. The long black hair is full of exotic style, but what is surprising is that her facial features are not sexy at all, but rather cute, and those eyes are even more curious.

Hugo and Green looked at each other, Hugo saw the light flashing in Green's eyes, and couldn't help showing a clear smile. Green said in a low voice, "Do you mind?" Hugo immediately responded, "Oh, of course, of course, please." He even made an inviting gesture with his free left hand, indicating that Green would be light.

Greene let out a sigh of relief, "Huh, destroy a strong opponent." Then he walked towards the woman with a smile, and Hugo, who was sitting there, couldn't help but smile.

After taking another gulp of beer, Hugo's eyes fell on the target just now. He was a little curious about what the news was cursed by everyone in the past two days. After taking a closer look, Hugo's movements stopped. The target pinned to the target was the National Enquirer's previous reports on Hugo's big-name suspicions. Although there were only a dozen darts on it, the newspaper itself was 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 blooming. It felt really good to know that a friend was willing to stand by his side, even if Hugo and Green had only met once.

"Hey, hey, hey, look who's here." A voice came from behind Hugo, before Hugo had time to turn his head, he felt a tap on his right shoulder, but he looked back to the right. In the past, there was no one, and as soon as I turned around, I saw the youthful face of Giulio Pedro Cesar Casa suddenly enlarged in front of him, which shocked Hugo. "Hugo, where did you go? Why did you disappear for so long? I was talking to my friends two days ago, when will you show up again?"

"Why, do you miss me?" Hugo deliberately squinted his eyes and looked up and down Pedro, and said meaningfully 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, "Did you miss me too?"

Hugo patted his chest and eased his breath, "Che, what do you have for me to think about? I don't remember any good things about you except that you keep bragging and lying to yourself."

Pedro was immediately stimulated by Hugo's words, "Hey, man, I told you, I'm a very good bass player, I'm serious!" Speaking of his professionalism here, Pedro seemed very Serious, but not the giggling look before, "Although my guitar is not as good as yours, er... I am not as good as you in writing, but in terms of bass, I have absolute confidence."

Hugo turned back and looked at Pedro again. In fact, the last time we met, Hugo and Neil Anderson's duel stole the show, and his impression of Pedro was that he had a bit of arrogance. He is very picky, but after he showed enough strength, he let go of his guard and began to seriously discuss music. It can be seen that Pedro is a young man with an infinite passion for music, but other than that, Hugo knows nothing about Pedro.

Looking at Hugo's scrutiny eyes, Pedro immediately came up arrogantly, "Hmph, look at your disbelieving eyes, let me show you both hands." When it comes to what he is good at, Pedro's eyes are full of A different self-confidence radiated, and then he looked at Hugo contemptuously, which reminded Hugo of the first time he and Pedro met at the door of the garage, "However, do you know how to appreciate Bass? "

Although the bass is similar in appearance to the electric guitar, they are two very different instruments. Hugo has always firmly believed that a band without a good bass player is not a qualified band. In fact, strictly speaking, the excellence of a band must be the excellence of every link, because this is a team, and this is the existence of the band. significance. This thinking is also very different from the general idea that bands are too focused on the guitar these days.

In fact, the functions of the bass and the guitar are completely different. The bass is responsible for the bass and rhythm. It is the bass part of the entire band. It is generally necessary to connect the guitar and the drum, which also makes the bass player more comprehensive. He must understand more The multi-harmony theory has become the tandem and communicator of the band. On the one hand, the bass has to control the rhythm together with the drums, and on the other hand, it has to coordinate with the melody and harmony of the guitar and keyboard, so the task of the bass player is very arduous.

Hugo doesn't know much about bass skills. His talent for musical instruments is concentrated on the guitar. Adding a piano is the limit. It is impossible for him to play bass. He only knows that the bass playing technique is very high-level, and he may feel better at first, but because the bass strings are thicker, the fingers are required to be stronger, and the use of picks should be avoided as much as possible. This can achieve the purpose of playing. This also makes it more difficult to improve the technique, and a really good bass player can play a great melody without any assistance from any other instrument.

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

Facing Pedro's provocation, Hugo didn't say much, just smiled and said, "Come and shock me!"
