Bruce: "Rock music, soul music, rap ... sons, I am your father!" " "

(For this ancient music form, few people know that under the symbol of 1986 Cui Jian and others, Chinese mainland started the commercialization of pop music, and Teresa Teng's decadent voice is no longer regarded as a symbol of capitalist evil. As a kind of commercial music, it developed from the west to China, from Hong Kong and Taiwan province as a springboard to the mainland in the 1970s. The era of Hong Kong and Taiwan-style love songs was accompanied by music that everyone grew up in every stage from the generation after 1960s to now. We were right. )

Bruce (Bruce)

For this ancient music form, the specific source can no longer be verified. It seems to be eliminated in China, but it is one of the foundations of modern pop music.

A-A-B rhythm is more common, called Bruce 12.

Most of them are repeated in the first and second sections. The third section is the most changeable and impromptu section. Musicians express their feelings when playing, whether they are sad or happy, high or depressed, in order to play diverse blues. The musical structure of blues expressed by lyrics is as follows.

"I am so hungry, cold and tired!

I am so hungry, so cold and so tired! (Suddenly your mother calls you)

Loser, I went home for dinner and made you a table of your favorite dishes. "-this is a cheerful blues.

"I spent all my salary this month. Where is my girlfriend?

I have spent all my salary this month. Where is my girlfriend? (Suddenly the boss calls you)

Xiaoming, the company will start filing for bankruptcy next month. You don't have to go to work tomorrow Take care. "-this is a sad melancholy.

Blues singing is unique with a black accent. Seriously, it's hard for white people or yellow people to pronounce. Even if the pitch is accurate or the beat can keep up, it is difficult to pronounce, just like a fishbone, especially the vibrato and glide that are common in blues. Black people sing thick and wide, and other races may sing like cats.

Why can black people sing vibrato and slide freely?

This is because I know nothing about the unique physiological structure of black people, the use of abdomen, the voice of throat, language and culture. I only know that it has a lot to do with the historical origin of men in black, and it developed from "Tian Cry". Listening to the old blues music, the singing method of "crying on the spot" is much stronger and the country flavor is heavier. It's hard to accept urban blues, especially muddy water. If this is a kind of pride,

About Bruce, a very worthwhile biopic, the legend of blues.

Bruce originated from the history of slaves. Women who work in the fields are forbidden to gossip by white people, but they don't say that they are forbidden to sing. In addition, if they sing, picking cotton is also very efficient, so white people think it is good! So black women chat in this high-pitched way of shouting and singing, in their own language.

As a result, the black man working in the field shouted, "Shit, when will the landlord return my two pounds of potatoes?" The other party shouted, "The streets are tight recently, wait until next year." Over time, going home to talk to future generations is like singing, so the sources of HIP-POP and RAP in the descendants of black music are closely related to this.

The obvious performance style in blues music is a sudden burst of shouting accompanied by a strong ensemble. The whole band is like an ensemble of chicken blood, guitar, drummer, double bass, piano and harmonica. The scales of all instruments are raised by at least one or two octaves, which pushes the whole musical atmosphere to a climax and is shocking. Therefore, the human brain will naturally rush up, and the head will shake under conditioned reflex.

For example, how wonderful it feels to have no money to go to the supermarket, touch jeans and suddenly take out a hundred dollars in your pocket!

But all of a sudden, the whole rhythm was pulled down by the glide, and the ensemble disappeared, leaving only the drummer and guitarist to repeat the accompaniment gently as if nothing had happened. With the physiological reflex, the head will press down to the chest with the music, and the music will continue to circulate, so people belong to an ecstatic swing style.

For example, the satisfaction you feel when you go home with that hundred dollars and buy food in the supermarket for a month!

This is also what Bruce is most interested in, that is, improvisation of rhythm, so you should pay attention to the police when listening to Bruce on the road, and it is not recommended to play blues music while driving, but this suggestion is not limited to people who want to commit suicide in a car accident.

Although Bruce is old, he has hatched a very meticulous freak with a split personality like jazz. Apart from classical music, the improvisation and freedom of jazz sometimes make people feel serious, while his mother Bruce is very practical and grounded, and her lyrics are also improvisational, straightforward and full of regional sense.

Catch the thief and catch the king first. B.B.KING is undoubtedly the representative of Bruce. Anyone who plays guitar knows that blues is a series of rhythms that push strings. The master of fingering and pushing strings should be B.B.KING, and of course the famous john lee hooker Muddy. Waters, Lemon Jefferson and others all made great contributions to Bruce.

However, this grandfather played the blues seriously for 70 years and left at the age of 90. Musicians have lived for a long time, and those geniuses who smoke marijuana and powder have exhausted their inspiration. They are all fortune tellers at the age of 50.

Every time I watch B.B.KING? Playing his guitar, his expression is always very infectious, but it makes people feel the artistic conception of "one man and one sword". Most people who play music will appreciate it. If ordinary people look at it, hahahahahaha ~ ~ ~ Find it yourself if you don't believe in WIFI.

Blues music, guitar and expression are inseparable. In all kinds of pop music, apart from folk songs, guitar is the highest theme among blues instruments, and it is never used to sweep chords as accompaniment. So it is not difficult to understand why people who play blues must have the right expression and guitar. It's a bit like "amateurs watch music, experts watch expressions".

However, the tortuous rhythm is hidden inside, and the fast-paced Bruce is okay. When encountering slow-paced blues, musicians are intoxicated by the rhythm they hear in their hearts, bringing rich expressions and music to the audience, and their hearts are choppy. Every time he plays a note in the high notes of the guitar, it is a release that he has endured for a long time, and this is precisely the subtle place of Bruce.

If it's hard to explain, think about the night before salary and the night after eating steamed bread.

Bessie Smith (Bessie Smith-1894- 1937, died in a car accident)

Queen Bruce is also a tragic figure in the history of music. There is little information about this person, but she is the earliest Bruce benchmark in history. This book records her as a person who influences Bruce's future. There is a biopic worth seeing. The Queen of Blues only has a trailer (hahahahahahaha).

Living in the state of modern music, Bessie's blues, like listening to revolutionary songs in the 1940s and 1950s, are not easy to appreciate, or the feeling of dubbing old movies is not easy to find. If you don't believe me, you'd better listen.

Aerospace Band is the first band in China to play blues, or the first band in China to play pure blues in Chinese. The rhythm of playing ball is not lost to Americans at all. The coordination of rhythm and beat between musical instruments is very popular. The most important thing is to sing in Chinese. The original blues style can be so well integrated into the Chinese world. As a native of China, it is more direct to appreciate the blues of the space band than the blues of the English-speaking world. Hang Tian's My Heart Fried Broad Bean is very good, very good. Apart from B.B.KING, the most admirable thing about Bruce is undoubtedly the space band.

Blues music is the product of suffering. At first, the music was heavy, but later it really lived well. Bruce also played relaxed, cheerful and playful music under the sufferings of black people. It's an old thing after all. Even the blues played by modern people are still very rich and full of vitality.

It is also a happy song. Bruce's way is not endless venting, not the release of hormones, but a kind of pouring back and forth, with a little breath of life in it, which looks like a motorcycle or a cocktail is quite refreshing, and life is not that bad. You can treasure the white wine for many years. Take a sip. Life is so beautiful.

Blues, an ancient music form, whose specific source cannot be verified, seems to have been eliminated in China, but it is one of the foundations of modern pop music.
