Chapter 256： Al Bar

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

Joseph saw that Hugo was able to cheer up completely and put the matter of Uma temporarily behind his head, so he did not discourage Hugo's enthusiasm, although in his eyes, the band is still not the main profession of an actor.

When Hugo arrived at the Al Bar, it was only six o'clock in the evening, and the night had just subsided, with a flash of fluorescent blue ‘color’, making the sky look like an uncut ‘jade’ stone. The roads of the poor streets are now a little rushed because of the ‘color’ of the night, with intermittent neon lights, and more prostitutes on the streets. The ‘female’, the ‘hustle’ and the ‘hustle’ leaning on the corner of the street and looking around, outlined the real face of this block with dim and dim light.

Hugo wore a dark blue'stick' ball hoodie, put the guitar on his back, and put the hat on his head. A pair of worn skateboarding shoes and the street made a low friction sound, which looked perfect with the poor street. It has to be integrated, not like a foreigner at all, so no one noticed him at all. Even if someone looked at him, the guitar behind him indicated that he should be a frequent visitor to Al Bar, and no one would attend. Bothered him before.

Pushing open the big dilapidated'door' of the bar that seems to fall down at any time, the goose'colored' light inside comes oncoming, although a dilapidated western style can be seen everywhere, and there is no sense of contradiction with the street outside, but It still makes people feel a burst of warmth, which is completely different from the atmosphere outside. At this time, there were a lot of people sitting in the bar. There was a group of people around the two pool tables at the door, and there was a darts area in the innermost area with a group of young people joining in the fun.

This is very different from the scene when Hugo participated in the rock night last time. It can be seen that the stage that night is behind the bar counter, but at this time it was removed and put on a little Song machine, a pinball machine and a pool table. This immediately made the space inside the entire bar spacious.

Hugo looked around. Although many people with musical instruments could be seen, it was not a wise idea to go up and say hello. Hugo went straight to the bar, found an empty seat and sat down, and then unloaded the guitar. , Put it at your feet. He snapped his fingers and greeted the bartender that he wanted a bottle of beer, but when he saw the bartender in front of him, Hugo's movements stopped, and he smiled, "I don't know that Al Bar does not have enough funds. Hire a professional bartender?"

The man in front of him was Greenhill, the owner of Al Bar. Green was wiping the wine glass with a white cloth and looked at Hugo with a smile, "Economic crisis always catches 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 have no problem with Long Island Iced Tea."

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

As a result, Green thought about it for a while, and then said with certainty, "I can tell you with certainty, there is no problem." After speaking, 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 in my account."

"Thank you." Hugo raised his glass to Green, as a gesture of gratitude. Hugo's sight 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 were a newspaper holder. However, the target was pierced by more than a dozen darts. Those newspapers were riddled with holes, and Hugo pointed the target with the finger holding the wine glass, "What's new?"

Green looked back and smiled and explained, "It's just that we disagree with the news above, expressing our protest. The guests who come to the bar always like to **** on it. When the Rodney King incident broke out last year, The four policemen. The photos of Chai are very popular here."

This ingenious idea made Hugo laugh, and gave Green a thumbs up.

Not far away, someone greeted the "bartender" Hugo and Grinzig and looked over. She was a woman with a very hot body. Even the high-collared'fury' clothes could not be shielded tightly. Blocking the curvilinear scenery, her long black hair is full of exotic style, but what is surprising is that her facial features are not sexual at all, but rather cute, and her eyes are even more curious. .

Hugo and Green looked at each other. Hugo saw the gleam in Green's eyes and couldn't help ‘showing’ a clear smile. Green whispered, "Don't you mind?" Hugo immediately reacted, "Oh, of course, of course, please." He even made an invitation gesture with his free left hand to make Green light.

Green breathed a sigh of relief, "Huh, destroy a strong opponent." Then he smiled and walked over to the ‘female’, and Hugo, who was sitting there, couldn’t help but smile.

After taking another sip of beer, Hugo's eyes fell on the target just now, and he was a little curious about what the news was cursed by everyone in the past two days. After a closer look, Hugo's movements stopped. The target nailed to the target is surprisingly several previous reports of the "National Inquirer" about Hugo's big-name suspicious cloud. Although there are only a dozen darts on it, the newspaper itself is already full of holes.

Hugo looked back at Green, who was picking up a girl, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not help but it was really good to know that a friend was willing to stand on his side, even if Hugo and Green had only met once.

"Hey, hey, hey, see who is here." A voice came from behind Hugo. Before Hugo could turn his head, he felt his right shoulder being patted, but he looked back to the right. In the past, there was no one, but as soon as I turned around, I saw Giulio Pedro Cesar Casa’s green and spring-filled face suddenly enlarged to the present, and Hugo was startled. "Hugo, where did you go? Why did you disappear for so long? I was talking to my friends two days ago, when will you appear again?"

"Why, do you miss me?" Hugo deliberately squinted his eyes and looked up and down Pedro, and said in a ridiculous tone.

Unexpectedly, Pedro said directly, "Yes, I miss you." Hugo was stunned and choked, coughing constantly. Pedro smiled and patted Hugo on the left shoulder, "Do you miss me too?"

Hugo patted his ‘chest’ and relieved his breath, "Cut, what is worth thinking about you? Except for you constantly bragging and lying to yourself, I don’t remember what your advantages are."

Pedro was immediately'excited' by Hugo's words, "Hey, buddy, I told you that I am a very good bass player, I am serious!" Speaking of professionalism here Pedro looked very serious, and didn't look like he was laughing and joking before, "Although I play guitar as well as you, uh... I am not as good as you in creation, but in terms of bass, I have absolute confidence."

Hugo leaned back and looked at Pedro again. In fact, the last time they met, the duel between Hugo and Neil Anderson stole the limelight, and his impression of Pedro was a sense of arrogance, but this arrogance was a dedication to music, although he was picky about himself at the beginning Very, but after he showed enough strength, he put aside his defenses and started a serious discussion on music. It can be seen that Pedro is a young man with infinite passion for music, but other than that, Hugo's knowledge of Pedro is zero.

Seeing Hugo's gaze, Pedro immediately came up with arrogance, "Hmph, look at your disbelief in your eyes, let me show you two hands." Speaking of what he is good at, Pedro's eyes are all A different confidence shined, and then he looked at Hugo contemptuously, which reminded Hugo of the first time he met Pedro at the'door' of the car dealership, "But, do you know how to appreciate Beth?

Although the bass looks similar to an electric guitar in appearance, they are two completely different instruments. Hugo has always firmly believed that a band without a good bassist is not a qualified band. In fact, strictly speaking, the performance of a band must be the performance of every link, because this is a team. This is the meaning of the band's existence. This kind of thinking is also completely different from the current band's general over-emphasis on guitar.

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 set. This also makes the bassist more important. Comprehensively, he must understand more harmony theory and become a serializer and communicator of the band. On the one hand, the bass must control the rhythm together with the drum kit, and on the other hand, he must cooperate with the melody and harmony of the guitar and keyboard, so the task of the bassist It's very difficult.

Hugo doesn't know much about bass skills. His talent for musical instruments is concentrated on the guitar. In addition, a piano is the limit. It is impossible for him to play bass. He only knows that bass has a very high level of playing skills, and maybe he might feel better at first, but because the bass strings are thicker, he needs more finger strength, and he should avoid using picks as much as possible, relying on fingertips to break down chords as much as possible. Only this can achieve the purpose of performance. This also makes it more difficult to improve the technique. A bassist who is truly brilliant can play a brilliant melody even without the aid of any other instruments.

However, due to the long time of creation, Hugo's understanding of bass is more from the arrangement of music. Therefore, Hugo pays more attention to the series effect of bass on the entire band and the entire song.

In the face of Pedro's provocation, Hugo didn't say much, but ‘showed’ a smile and said, "Come and shock me!"
