Learn Journey's Guitar & Bass Style

Discover how Journey developed their signature guitar and bass sound, the techniques you'll encounter in their music, and the best lessons to begin your learning journey.

Journey 从 1973 年在旧金山的现场场景中崭露头角,由吉他手 Neal Schon 和键盘手 Gregg Rolie 在他们离开 Santana 之后共同孕育而成。他们早期的唱片将爵士风格的摇滚与朗朗上口的旋律钩子融合,为新纪元的 arena-rock 奠定基础。在接下来的十年里,乐队在轮换的成员中发展,因精准的乐器演奏和雄心勃勃的编排而声名日益显著。到 1980 年代初,Journey 已成为摇滚乐界最大的乐队之一,赢得体育馆规模的观众和多张白金专辑。

当 Steve Perry 于 1977 年加入时,乐队找到了一个将 Schon 的炽热吉他与 Perry 的高亢嗓音相结合的创作声音。像 Don't Stop Believin'、Open Arms、Anyway You Want It 这样的金曲时代促成 Escape (1981) 获得多白金级别并巩固 Journey 作为 pop-rock 主流的地位。横跨五十年,乐队已售出数千万张唱片,2017 年入选 Rock Hall of Fame,并在由吉他驱动的 arena rock 与经典摇滚叙事方面留下持久印记。

Playing Style

Journey 的演奏风格围绕 Neal Schon 的富有旋律感、技术娴熟的吉他演奏展开,并叠以丰富的键盘质感。 Schon 将 blues-rock 的措辞与 luminous arpeggios 和持续、表达力强的 bends 融合起来,常用一点延迟来拓宽 lead lines。乐队围绕 dual guitar textures、紧凑的节奏部分与 power chords 的力量,以及从干净、抒情的措辞到快速的 runs 以及偶尔的 tapping 的动态独奏来构建声音。结果是一个既注重情感又高度具有旋律性的声音,具备难忘的 hook,以及推动力十足的、适合 stadium 的冲击力。

🎸 Gear & Equipment

Neal Schon 与 PRS Guitars(包括 signature models)关系密切,并且早期使用 Fender-era 乐器;Journey 的现场音色仰赖于经典放大堆叠 Mesa/Boogie、Marshall,以及立体声合唱与模拟延迟,营造丰富、宽广的 lead sounds。Jonathan Cain 负责键盘/钢琴,层叠出以钢琴驱动的纹理,衬托 Schon 的吉他线条,形成 Journey 的 signature synth-rock ballad 氛围。
