Chapter 749 Durian Band

Regarding the fact that I risked my life to praise my work as a ghostwriter in order to prove that it was awesome——

Jiang Yang looked amused at Wang Chaoxi's push.

This made Sister Chen and her colleagues look askance.

She felt that Li Qingning should take her husband to have his head checked.

after all--

Jiang Yang really hurt his head.

soon.

Li Qingning's makeup is just fine.

She wore a turtleneck sweater to cover her neck, a high ponytail, big earrings, and a gold necklace with red lips. She looked very imposing. She doesn't look like a big brother, but she does have the aura of a big brother.

They go to the scene.

Jiang Yang was idle, so he followed.

On the road.

Jiang Yang sat in the car and kept paying attention to Wang Chaoxi's push. He felt so happy when he saw it that he couldn't wait to hurry up.

Li Qingning watched together.

"Xiao Ning."

At this time, Sister Chen pointedly asked Li Qingning that the video she had taken in the morning was ready, "Do you still want to send it out?"

Li Qingning said: "Let's go."

***

Even before the mall opened, it was already crowded outside. There are people standing in the green belt on the side of the road, as if climbing up trees. Those who don't know it think that in a foreign country, top luxury brand stores can buy them for zero yuan.

The guys from the Durian band just happened to drive by.

The guitarist couldn't help but exclaimed: "The Devil's popularity is really unquestionable. It will be great if we can gain this popularity anytime."

Lead singer: "Don't dream about this. You know there is no such atmosphere in China."

The guitarist smiled.

Their band has a gig today, performing at a nearby atmospheric bar.

As for why they are called the Durian Band, that's because they play jazz rock. They think the music is like durian. It doesn't look good, and it doesn't smell good either, but as long as you listen patiently, hey, it feels pretty good. Not bad.

"The big devil still dares to come out."

The lead singer looked at the crowd outside, "When I read the tweets today, everyone said that his husband Jiang Yang was looking for someone to replace him."

Guitarist: "Can't?"

The lead singer smiled: "Who knows, I heard that Li Yu is a ghostwriter - I remember when Li Yu first debuted, some people said that she was a ghostwriter."

The guitarist remembers: "Especially the first album -"

He was so impressed with the album.

This album is Li Yu's debut album. Although it focuses on folk songs, its use of jazz elements has brought him a lot of influence.

One obvious difference between jazz and folk music is that one focuses on musical expression and the other focuses on emotional expression. Therefore, there is a saying that jazz has three hundred chords for three people and folk music has three chords for three thousand people.

But there are several songs in Li Yu's album that creatively integrate jazz scales and other musical elements into folk songs, changing the folk chords towards a single chord, dull rhythm, poor instrumentation, and only have cool lyrics and melody. By overcoming these bad habits, the expression of music complements the expression of emotions, greatly enriching the melody and content of folk songs, and single-handedly brought a big breakthrough to domestic folk songs, thus becoming a god in one fell swoop.

However--

It was such a profound musical attainment that people in the industry at the time felt that this was not something that a teenage girl could do.

They suspected that it was written by Li's mother.

certainly.

The guitarist was deeply impressed by this album, not only because of the ghostwriting, but more importantly because of Li Yu's attainments in jazz.

He had just fallen in love with jazz at that time——

Mainly for the sake of being new and different, I feel that I like this niche and difficult music, which gives me a sense of superiority.

At that time, when he saw so many people praising Li Yu, he was quite unconvinced by this little girl who was much younger than him. He thought that it was just some elements of jazz that had been appropriated. What was there to brag about? But after he got to know more about jazz, he realized that it took a lot of understanding of jazz to be able to easily apply the elements of blues to the musical expression of folk songs.

It was then that the guitarist truly admired this little girl Li Yu.

That's it now.

No guitarist dares to say that he is better than the Big Devil in playing jazz.

This also made him play jazz, but he never dared to say that he despised rock and pop.

but--

He heard the lead singer say: "Maybe she is used to ghostwriting, and she also found a ghostwriter for her husband - this is called path dependence."

The guitarist didn't believe it.

This is too much to underestimate the big devil.

The Big Devil has already proven herself. In that God-like album, she has not only jazz, but also country and blues at her fingertips.

This year's "Mr. Anonymous" brought something eye-catching to pop music, so much so that Li Yu was even called for the Golden Disk Award, the highest foreign music award.

Of course, because of language, it is just a voice.

only--

He said nothing about the lead singer's statement.

Although they are in the same band, they have different personalities. The lead singer sounds very confident at best, but is a bit self-confident at worst. The one who is better than me has flaws, and the one who is not as good as me doesn't even look at it. This is probably the mentality.

They drove out of the mall, turned around a street, and arrived at the bar where they were going to perform tonight.

The bar is open until the afternoon.

They came here early to adjust the equipment and use it as a rehearsal venue to practice new songs and so on.

After moving all the equipment out of the car, the guitarist closed the trunk of the car and asked the lead singer: "How is your song writing going?"

Lead singer: "It's written, you can read it later."

The guitarist still admires the lead singer.

He is really confident and has the strength to be confident, and he still has a good brush in creation.

It’s just——

This brush is a little lint-free.

After they debugged the equipment, he watched the lead singer's new song. How should I put it, it was very awkward. He didn't jazz when it was time to be jazz, and he didn't rock when it was time to rock. In short, he was in a very awkward state.

Lead singer: "How was it?"

The guitarist shook his head: "I can't tell, let's try it again."

Then.

They stopped before they could do it again.

The lead singer also felt that it was really awkward, "Let's take a break and I'll take a look again."

Guitarist: "Okay."

The lead singer took the sheet music to the side and scratched his head. This was already the state he had changed after many versions.

He is really a bit out of his depth.

Guitarists don't have any good advice either.

He took out his mobile phone and scrolled through the recommendations of some big guys, trying to find some inspiration or suggestions. At this moment, he saw a jazz big shot commenting on a song: "...the blues scale is in this song." The application of the verse can be called a classic. Although it is not jazz rock, anyone who plays jazz rock in the future should take a look at what is a classic and what is amazing!"

This guy retweeted and commented.

Why!

The guitarist looked at it and thought, isn't this what the lead singer is troubled about?

Or--

This is where many people struggle with jazz rock.

He was busy reading the forwarded content, which came from Koi Studio.

After he clicked to jump to it, he found that it was a video. After clicking to play, it was a piano prelude, using the "common tone sustain" method to change chords, a very simple but very practical technique.

At this time——

Guitarists haven't realized the magnitude of the problem.

When Li Qingning started singing a cappella, the guitarist said: "Fuck!"
