The two students who came in, one man and one woman, were both seniors from Qi'an Conservatory of Music. The man was named Thomas. He asked Fang Zhao for help after class today. The woman was named Cheng Lan, who had a thick short hair and flush bangs, and was more lively.

According to the two, next Tuesday is Cheng Lan's birthday, but the whole day of classes and various tasks on Tuesday are still available, so I can't make time to spend it, so I moved my birthday to today. It just so happened that my friends also had time and came here to celebrate their birthday after school.

The private room they booked is not far from here. Before the others came, Thomas and Cheng Lan had just arrived and were about to go to the private room they booked. When they passed by, they saw Fang Zhao, so they came in and said hello.

Seeing Fang Zhao take notes so seriously, the two people who were about to graduate suddenly felt guilty. Compared with Fang Zhao, they were wasting their years!

"Oh, it's so stressful!" Thomas sighed, "It's rare to take time out and have fun."

The six-year university is, the better the university, the stricter the graduation requirements. The best music school in Yanzhou, like Qi'an Conservatory of Music, naturally has stricter graduation requirements.

People with excellent grades and solid foundations do not worry about the various assessments for graduation at this time, but have already started to look for internship companies. However, Thomas and others who don’t pay much attention on weekdays can have to use more time and energy to save them, at least make their various assessments in this critical year more beautiful. After all, they have to present their transcripts when looking for a job.

Thinking of something, Thomas paused on the electric guitar hanging on the background wall and asked Fang Zhao: "Senior Brother, how much do you know about ancient instruments? Are you good at creating symphonic structure music? Although the instruments used by the orchestra are not ancient instruments, they are all developed from ancient instruments. I heard that you know more about those, so have you been exposed to some ancient instruments?"

"Ancient musical instrument?" Fang Zhao nodded, "Learn some of it."

The so-called "ancient musical instruments" are actually the general term for all musical instruments before the destruction of the century by people in the new century. According to the rules, it should be called "old-style musical instruments" or "old-style musical instruments". However, the words "old" and "old" are not wanted to be seen or heard by academic people. It feels that the artistic style is lowered and the facade cannot be decorated, so the word "ancient" is used.

"What do you want to know?" Fang Zhao asked.

Thomas smiled and sat on the sofa nearby, rubbed his hands, then raised his fingers and pointed to the electric guitar hanging on the wall. "Just this, according to reliable information, in our final exam this semester, we took the 'electric guitar' for the test points for ancient musical instruments, but we have not had a class on ancient electric guitar at all in our six years of college life."

"Yes, yes!" Cheng Lan also smiled and poured Fang Zhao a cup of tea attentively. "Senior brother, we actually chose this place to get close to the electric guitar. You also know that ancient musical instruments, even imitations, are relatively expensive, especially electric guitars. They cannot be picked up for a small amount of 10,000 yuan. The ancient electric guitars with good materials and good imitations are even more expensive. They are not affordable to us poor students. The electric guitars here in the ‘spae’ are made of antique electric guitars, not the evolutionary versions of the early new century. The pure ancient musical instruments are made of medium and high-end, so we thought about coming over... to study and research."

Fang Zhao could understand the idea of ​​Thomas and Cheng Lan. The century of destruction almost formed a fault. Even if there were many videos, electronic archives and information, etc., they could be preserved through various means. After the establishment of the New Century, the archaeological team continued to make new discoveries. However, in terms of musical instruments, the number of musical instruments could be preserved was extremely limited. In that special period, musical instruments were relatively not important enough, so there were fewer videos on musical instrument guidance in the New Century, and the instruments of the old century were also hyped up by antique dealers to high prices. In the peaceful era, these things were more operable.

The quality of video teaching in the old century is definitely not as good as that in the new century, not many, and not perfect enough. There are even fewer musicians who can survive from the extinction of the century. Even if they survive, after a hundred years of struggle, they may not be able to remember the knowledge and techniques they used to do. Not everyone can simulate the scenes of musical instruments in their minds like Fang Zhao.

Fang Zhao didn't dare to say anything else, but the two of them asked him the right person for the ancient musical instruments.

"Which knowledge about electric guitar do you want to know?" Fang Zhao asked.

"Not too much, I just want to figure out how it should be used." Thomas was afraid that Fang Zhao would find them troublesome, so he quickly said, "The knowledge points about ancient musical instruments should not be too detailed. Anyway, there will be no actual operation, so senior brother, just talk about its correct usage."

Although the instruments used by the New Century Symphony Orchestra emit the same to those of ancient instruments, their appearance is much different. With hundreds of years of development and technology, the materials are changing, and the appearance of the instruments is also changing. The ultimate goal is to make the operation simpler and the instruments more convenient to carry. Otherwise, these instruments will withdraw from the stage of history under the impact of increasingly perfect electronic instruments, and truly become "antiques" that are not useful.

Just like now, many students in music colleges only need a music keyboard to create. Download some materials to simulate almost all the required musical instrument pronunciation. It is affordable and practical. There is no need to learn the techniques of various musical instruments. Just learn the techniques of musical keyboards.

In contrast, in the eyes of these students, electric guitars in the old century are really difficult to learn! Fortunately, their ultimate goal is to understand some basic operation and theoretical knowledge and handle exams. They are unwilling to let them learn the techniques of ancient electric guitars.

Cheng Lan also echoed next to him, "Really, we have bought some teaching videos and saw the operations of those people in it. It feels too difficult to remember many knowledge points. Brother, can you explain it to us?"

"I remember there are many teaching videos online," Fang Zhao said.

Fang Zhao knew from his memory that the original owner of the body used to handle the exam to download free videos and materials from the school library. With a better memory than others, rote memorization and a little luck, he got high scores.

"Those are not necessarily reliable, you can only read more, compare them, and then summarize them yourself." Thomas said with a bitter face. This is the source of their pressure, and the workload is huge!

The explanations of the videos that are downloaded for free are obscure and difficult to understand, and the person who explains the explanations are not that clear. The truly authoritative guidance videos also require a lot of money to buy. In addition, even if you spend so much money, you may not be able to get what you want to know. The things in the video may not be really correct. A few years ago, someone confirmed that a very popular musician and ancient musical instrument researcher had two serious mistakes in the guidance video released by the guidance video.

Although the musician finally returned the money for purchasing the video to the buyers, many students have already written the wrong knowledge points on the exam, and the points that should be deducted have been deducted long ago, and there is no way to regret it. Therefore, generally speaking, test points involving ancient musical instruments are very easy to lose points.

For hundreds of years, it is not that no one has understood the ancient electric guitar, but those people will not disclose the knowledge they have finally studied. Only their personal disciples and successors can understand it, which other students cannot understand. This is the norm in the industry, and why Mr. Xue Jing was so surprised and relieved when he learned that Fang Zhao was willing to disclose his insights and various technical knowledge when he was writing the "New Symphony Edition" and learned that Fang Zhao was willing to disclose his insights and various technical knowledge.

Fang Zhao nodded and understood the feelings of the two of them. However, "You may not remember it if you just verbally explain it. In this way, take down the electric guitar on the wall and I will demonstrate it to you."

"Performance...demo?" Thomas was stunned for a moment and happily said to get it.

When taking off the electric guitar from the wall, Thomas was careful, for fear that the thing would be bumped and touched. Even if it was placed here for decoration, any damage would be made, and he would have to pay for it when leaving the market.

The price of this antique electric guitar in his hand is estimated to be in six figures. People who open stores are rich and like this kind of musical instrument. Even if they are decorated, they will not be decorated with inferior products.

When he handed the electric guitar on his hand to Fang Zhao, Thomas's hands were shaking. He confirmed that Fang Zhao had caught it and slowly let go.

"Senior brother, be careful, this thing is very expensive." After saying that, Thomas remembered again, Fang Zhao was not short of money! Just how much copyrighted music I made in the past, even if it was not made public, they could guess the rough idea.

Since Fang Zhao was not short of money, Thomas and Cheng Lan were more confident. They were not as restricted as before, and they were curious to touch them. In the past, they didn't dare to touch the electric guitar on the wall when they came here, for fear of breaking them. It would be okay to play with their little money here occasionally, but if they really had to compensate, they would have to bleed heavily.

"Today, senior brother, we will help you pay for your consumption here today!" Cheng Lan was also happy today. No matter whether Fang Zhao could teach them the knowledge they wanted to know, seeing that Fang Zhao was willing to help them, he had to ask for this meal.

"It's not necessary to help." Fang Zhao took the guitar and looked at Thomas, "Take out the others."

"What else? What else? Isn't it just a guitar?" Thomas wondered.

Cheng Lan gave him an elbow, "Idiot, is the guide video in vain? There are also speakers, wires, and effects!"

"Oh! Yes! There are other things that are wrong, and they have been recorded as ancient classical guitars. Oh my brain! Senior brother, wait first, let's look for it."

Thomas and Cheng Lan found several cabinets on the wall, which looked like decorative objects. Once you press it, the cabinet door will automatically open.

"This big one is a speaker... right?" Thomas looked at Cheng Lan.

"I remember it." Cheng Lan looked at Fang Zhao, nodded when he saw Fang Zhao, and smiled happily. She remembered this correctly.

"I know the wires, what about this? What are these?" Thomas looked at the blocky objects, looked at them on the front and back, and was stunned. "There are no instructions on these."

Cheng Lan couldn't confirm this time, and she really didn't know that the information she recited before mentioned this? It was not mentioned in the video she watched two days ago!

"That's the effect device." Fang Zhao said.

"Effects? These... are all? These are different from the videos we watch. There is only one effect in the videos we watch. If it doesn't look like this, it's called a comprehensive effect."

"Well, there is that, it is suitable for beginners. The one-piece effect device is placed here." Fang Zhao explained.

"Oh, I understand." Thomas took the thing over and prepared to start installing it.

"Wait!" Cheng Lan stopped Thomas and asked Xiang Fangzhao, "Senior Brother, can I record this process? I can't remember it after listening."

"Yes." Fang Zhao didn't care about this.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Cheng Lan winked at Thomas, "Be serious, now I'm going to start recording."

"Remember to pat my face." Thomas took the wire, paused, turned to look at Fang Zhao, "Senior brother, how can I pick it up? Don't get up, just sit there, give orders, I'll pick it up."

Fang Zhao didn't refuse either. Thomas could deepen his memory by doing it himself, so he sat on the sofa and said, "The effector is placed between the speaker and the guitar wire, the guitar wire is connected to the input end of the effector, and the output end of the effector is connected to the input end of the speaker..."

Thomas followed Fang Zhao's guidance and connected step by step. He used to think that ancient musical instruments were too troublesome, and various equipment was too complicated and difficult to operate, but now he felt that when he actually started, he also felt a little accomplished. In fact, it was not that difficult! Look, this is enough to connect, how simple!

It’s such a simple thing, but someone on the Internet talks about it in a complicated way, and I don’t know what it is about!

Cheng Lan recorded this scene completely next to him, including Fang Zhao's explanation of each effect device, "distortion compression noise delay reverb"...

When connecting the effects, Thomas picked up an effect and read according to the words printed on it: "ah-ah? What's this?"

"Wayin pedal." Fang Zhao said.

"Waoyin? Could it be the one who makes the 'Waoohah' sound?" Thomas's face was full of surprise, "That's Dianji's tone!? I don't even know!"

They usually use the "Wow" material downloaded on the music keyboard, and they don't know that it is the tone of the ancient electric guitar! If this is a multiple-choice question, he can only rely on the puzzle.

After the connection was completed, Fang Zhao demonstrated and explained, and Thomas stood beside him and listened carefully, and took action when he needed to change the effector.

The middleman Fangzhao would also ask Thomas and Cheng Lan to express their opinions and raise questions.

"Senior brother, the passage you just talked about is different from the reference video we saw last time." Cheng Lan asked.

"Listen to me."

"…Yes.” Cheng Lan responded.

Thomas would rather believe Fang Zhao, "I just said that the reference video I bought last time must have a mistake. If I really follow that record, I might lose points at that time! Not only did I not explain it well, how did the teacher who misleads his children get a professional teacher qualification certificate? There must be some insider!"

"Don't worry about the inside story or not, hurry up, as my senior brother said, I'm still recording it." Cheng Lan interrupted Thomas' complaint. She was still waiting for Fang Zhao's later explanation and demonstration. Before, she just had a try-and-see attitude, thinking that as long as she could get a small knowledge point from Fang Zhao, who knew that Fang Zhao had too much surprise! It was a comprehensive explanation! Including all the basic knowledge points about electric guitars, it was definitely enough for them, the students who were dealing with the exam!

This is the humanoid reference book!
