What configuration is needed for a simple folk band

It depends on how many people you have, as little as two or three, as many as dozens or hundreds. I think the simple one must be a small number of people, but you can be multi-faceted. For example, a person can bamboo flute, suona, (trumpet, although it is not a folk instrument, but why can't you charge it when you are not strict) Erhu three, among which you can Jinghu, Gaohu, etc. (violin and cello are still bull's head and not the horse's mouth, but with these two, especially the cello, you can beautify your folk band) two pipa, two ethnic hits, a dulcimer, you can add a sheng if you like a few democracy, add a dongbula in Xinjiang, add a horse-head qin in Mongolia (there is a difference between the erhu strings) and so on, I think that simple folk bands should also be diversified, and any song can be handled like that, that would be great, hehe, I wish you success!

I'm a MIDI** guy, so the tone is on the software track, and although I don't play it out, the collocation is the same.

Erhu, pipa, bamboo flute, dulcimer (equivalent to conductor) There are also many musical instruments, such as drums, sheng, gonghou, etc., depending on the needs of the tune. In fact, there are no strict requirements for Chinese folk bands, unlike Western symphony bands, brass and wood orchestra are indispensable, and the composition of China's folk bands is determined according to the tunes and individual conditions.

The repertoire played, such as Jiangnan Silk Bamboo Caiyun Chasing the Moon. There are far fewer ensemble pieces in China than solo pieces, and most of the ensemble pieces are adapted by modern people.

Basic: erhu, dizi, dulcimer, pipa, ruan, sheng, suona, percussion, cello.

Optimization: Gao Hu, Zhong Hu, Liu Qin, Zhong Ruan, Da Ruan, Xiao, Xun, Guzheng, Bass is pretty much the same.

Erhu, dulcimer, pipa, ruan, bamboo flute, bass, sheng, bangu. It's enough, you can play, "Walking Street", "Flower Joy", "Yizhi Mei" and many other Jiangnan silk and bamboo and "Backgammon", "Dry Day Thunder" and other Guangdong**.

Generally, there are erhu, zhonghu, suona, guzheng, dulcimer, sheng, and pipa.

There are also Ruan Liuqin, Gao Hu and Bass Sheng.

The repertoire is generally backgammon, flowers are good, the moon is full, jasmine, these are the more common, and there will be some compositional repertoire.

Form a band:

1. Personnel allocation:

One lead guitarist, one accompaniment guitarist, one bass player, one keyboard player, one drummer, 2. Equipment distribution:

Two electric guitars, equipped with at least one effect, one bass, one electronic organ, one set of drums, one set of speakers, and one mixer if possible.

3. You can be equipped with an extra electric box piano, bakelite dual-purpose, 4. Generally, most pop songs can be found on the Internet.

Form a band:

1. Personnel allocation:

One acoustic guitarist, one electric bass player, one acoustic bass player, one keyboard player, and one acoustic drummer.

2. Equipment allocation:

A guitar, at least one guest player, a bass, a keyboard, a drum kit, a set of speakers, and a mixer.

3. Singing assignment:

In a band, everyone has to be vocalized, so the soul character should be assigned to sing, such as beyond.

As a band, I personally feel that there should be different configurations on different stages, because the requirements for the effect achieved in different styles will be different.

Large cabaret band configuration

"Auditorium" style karaoke bars are popular, with a large stage in the middle, a dance floor in the middle, and an audience in the back. This kind of karaoke hall is called "so-and-so song and dance theater", which is actually a kind of song and dance performance. This performance is accompanied by a large dance team. Jazz Dance.

Modern dance, folk dance.

Both. The singers are also very good in the local area (sometimes there are often hired guests), but we will only talk about the band today, and these aspects are overlooked. This slightly larger cabaret band is usually equipped with 5 or 6 people, mainly "4 big pieces", sometimes two keyboards and a "small play", and the harmony is generally played by the band members, and rarely by the singers.

A song hall of general size is often four people, that is, "four big ones". This configuration is the simplest configuration, because of the clear division of labor, it can often be done very well. But this configuration also has higher requirements for the musician's technique, timbre, and feel.

Because such cabarets are generally covered, bands pay more attention to bandaging and imitation playing. The standard at that time was that whoever imitated was a master. Guitar, bass, keyboard instruments have not changed much, jazz drums.

Gradually changed from the original sound to the electric drum, and the timbre changed more.

Most of the bands are standing on stage. The drums are usually in the middle (sometimes on the side, depending on the stage conditions), the guitar and keyboard are on one side, and the bass's hands are on the other. But in some cabarets, the rest of the band is hidden next to the drummer, and the audience only sees the drummer and not the rest of the band.

Strip configuration

As the name suggests, these places are generally quieter places, and some "quiet bars" don't have bands at all. Many of these bands are mainly folk songs, such as guitar, piano or with pickups.

of the electric piano, and then a "Konka" will do. These bands are mainly backup singers, and many singers also have guitars with pickups. The entire stage, including the venue and the setting, is small. Some slightly larger bars have electric guitars.

Electric bass, electric drums.

Cafes, restaurants, bands

This kind of local band is a foil, and few people enjoy the performance, but eat and drink. So a lot of times it's the piano, sometimes it's the guitar. Many years ago, there was a band dinner party, but it was all slowly gone.

Finally, there are bands that only have drums, bass, and guitar and should be arranged specifically according to the needs of their work, such as some rock bands.

The first is to have a lead singer, but also to have a drummer, as well as a pianist, a guitarist, etc., and there are also drum kits, guitars, and if conditions allow, pianos can be had.

Indispensable are musical instruments, such as guitars, electronic organs, etc.; There are also team members, such as vocals, guitarists, drummers, etc.; There is also a practice venue, and the team needs to practice together often to cultivate tacit understanding.

The band has always had a lead singer, guitarist, bass, keyboardist, drummer, etc., and at the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the team's cooperation.

It is indispensable to set up a band members, each with their own duties, and also have relative instruments, such as piano, drum stand, bass, etc., as well as professional lead singers and harmonic staff, and the most important thing is to cooperate with each other tacitly and work together.

Fresh style, simple and simple, complex and complex... Because your definition is too big.

First of all, to put it simply, the first combination: two guitars, an electric box and an electric guitar, the electric guitar is dominated by pure tone. The second combination:

A bass, a guitar, a very traditional campus folk song pairing! The third combination: an electric guitar and an electronic organ, with a little more diversified elements and more room for development!

Then, to put it more complicatedly, the definition of fresh is very broad, and if you want to give people a refreshing feeling, personal advice, first of all, the instrument is diversified! If possible, it is better to add some folk music. I'll give you a comprehensive suggestion for adding or subtracting according to your own situation:

Electric guitar, electric box, bass, keyboard, jazz drum (a combination of old-fashioned bands, more traditional, very basic, fundamental role, jazz drums can be replaced with electric drums), new additions: saxophone (not folk music, in order to balance Chinese and Western instruments, Cui Jian's band has already reflected its role), flute (can be metal, can also be bamboo), bau, trumpet (rock elements), guzheng (Xie Tianxiao and cold-blooded animals can listen to its effect). Actually, there are a lot more, figure it out for yourself I used to be a band in school, and my style is more rock, I hope mine can help you.

**It's about creation, configuration is not the exact deciding factor.

Listen to CDs more, observe more, and learn.

Then a simple combination, the creation is positioned, and the personnel needs can be gradually positioned.
