- Let's Play! Your First Song Walkthrough
- 开始玩吧！你的第一首歌演练
We'll learn by doing. Let's walk through the process of playing the song "Qi Li Xiang" (七里香).
我们边做边学。我们来演示一下《七里香》这首歌的演奏过程。
1. Find the Song: Open the Level Life app and tap the music note icon at the bottom of the screen. Use the search bar in the top-right corner to find "Qi Li Xiang".
- 查找歌曲： 打开 Level Life 应用，点击屏幕底部的音符图标。使用右上角的搜索栏搜索“七里香”。
2. Switch to Number Notation: Once the song loads, tap the three dots (...) in the top-right corner of the sheet music. Select the option to switch to number notation (数字谱) . You'll see the chord chart change to numbers from 1 to 7, which correspond directly to the I-VII buttons on your fretboard.
2. 切换到数字谱： 歌曲加载完成后，点击乐谱右上角的三个点 (...) 。选择切换到数字谱 (数字谱) 的选项 。你会看到和弦图变为 1 到 7 的数字，这些数字直接对应指板上的 I-VII 键。
3. The Golden Rule of Coordination: To make a sound, you must do two things at the exact same time:
3. 协调的黄金法则： 要发出声音，你必须同时做两件事：
4. Understanding Basic Rhythm: For most beginner songs, one downward strum on Pick Pad 1 equals two musical beats. Let's practice:
4. 理解基本节奏： 对于大多数初学者歌曲来说，在拨片 1 上向下拨动一次相当于两个节拍。我们来练习一下：
◦ Press and hold the '6' (VI) button with your left hand.
◦ 用左手按住 “6”（VI） 按钮。
◦ Strum Pick Pad 1 once with your right hand while counting aloud: "one-two".
◦ 用右手弹奏拨片 1 一次，同时大声数数：“一二”。
◦ Now, press and hold the '4' (IV) button.
◦ 现在，按住 “4”（IV） 按钮。
◦ Strum Pick Pad 1 once while counting aloud: "one-two".
◦ 弹拨 1 号拨片一次，同时大声数数：“一二”。
5. Singing and Playing Together: Look at the song sheet in the app. You'll see lyrics with chord numbers above them. The rule is simple: when you see a lyric that is colored and has a chord number directly above it, that is your cue to strum the corresponding chord and sing that word at the same time. The app will also flash a light on the fretboard to hint at the next chord you need to play.
5. 一起唱歌和演奏： 查看应用程序中的歌谱。你会看到歌词上方标有和弦编号。规则很简单：当你看到彩色歌词 ， 且歌词正上方标有和弦编号时，就提示你弹奏相应的和弦，同时唱出该和弦。应用程序还会在指板上闪烁灯光，提示你需要弹奏的下一个和弦。
Congratulations! You've just learned the core mechanics of playing a song. Now, let's break down those skills so you can apply them to any song you want.
恭喜！你刚刚学会了演奏歌曲的核心技巧。现在，让我们来分解一下这些技巧，这样你就可以将它们运用到任何你想要的歌曲中。
- Mastering the Fundamentals
- 掌握基础知识
Two of the biggest challenges for beginners are knowing when to start singing and making sure the song is in a comfortable key for their voice. Here’s how to master both.
对于初学者来说，最大的挑战之一是知道何时开始唱歌，以及确保歌曲的调性适合自己的嗓音。以下是如何掌握这两个技巧。
4.1. How to Start a Song (Finding the "Starting Pitch")
4.1. 如何开始一首歌（找到“起始音高”）
Knowing when to come in with your voice is crucial. There are three common scenarios you'll encounter in the app.
知道何时发出声音至关重要。您在应用中会遇到三种常见情况。
• Scenario 1: Sing First, Then Play.
• 场景 1：先唱歌，再玩。
◦ What it looks like: The song sheet shows lyrics before the first chord number appears. (e.g., In "乌兰巴托的夜," you sing the first few words solo before the first chord appears.)
◦ 外观： 歌曲表在第一个和弦数字出现之前显示歌词 。（例如，在“乌兰巴托的夜”中，在第一个和弦出现之前，您要独唱前几个单词。）
◦ What to do: You sing the first few words without any accompaniment. When you get to the word with the first chord above it, you start playing and singing together.
◦ 做法： 唱出前几个单词，无需伴奏。唱到第一个和弦所在的单词时，大家开始一起弹奏和演唱。
• Scenario 2: Play First, Then Sing.
• 场景 2：先玩，再唱歌。
◦ What it looks like: A chord number appears on the sheet with no lyrics underneath it, often at the very beginning of a song or after an instrumental break. (e.g., In "安和桥," an initial chord is played before the vocals begin.)
◦ 外观： 乐谱上会出现一个和弦编号，但下面没有歌词，通常出现在歌曲的最开始或乐器演奏之后。（例如，在《安和桥》中，在人声开始之前会先演奏一个初始和弦。）
◦ What to do: You play the chord first (strumming once), and then you begin singing the lyrics that follow.
◦ 怎么做： 先弹奏和弦（弹奏一次），然后开始唱后面的歌词。
• Scenario 3: Play and Sing Together.
• 场景 3：一起玩耍和唱歌。
◦ What it looks like: This is the most common situation. The very first word of a vocal line has a chord number directly above it. (e.g., In "突然的自我," the first word and first chord happen at the same time.)
◦ 表现形式： 这是最常见的情况。声乐句的第一个单词上方会直接标明和弦编号。（例如，在《突然的自我》中，第一个单词和第一个和弦同时出现。）
◦ What to do: You start playing your first strum and singing your first word at the exact same time.
◦ 怎么做： 你开始弹奏第一个弦并同时唱出第一个字。
4.2. Finding the Perfect Key for Your Voice
4.2. 找到适合你声音的完美音调
One of the best features of the Level Life guitar is that you never have to strain your voice. You can change the key of any song to fit you perfectly.
Level Life 吉他最大的特点之一就是你无需费力演奏。你可以随意调整任何歌曲的调，让它完美地适合你。
1. Use the "Hint" Tone: Before you start playing, press the handle button in the app to hear a hint for the song's starting pitch. Hum that note. If it feels uncomfortably high or low, simply turn the Transpose Knob on the guitar until the hint tone is in a comfortable range for you.
- 使用“提示音”： 开始演奏前，按下应用程序中的“
handle”按钮，聆听歌曲起始音高的提示。哼唱该音符。如果感觉音调过高或过低不舒服，只需转动吉他上的移调旋钮 ，直到提示音调达到您舒适的音域即可。
2. A Quick Guide for Changing Keys: If you're singing a song originally performed by a singer of a different gender, here's a great rule of thumb:
2. 变调快速指南： 如果你正在唱一首原本由不同性别的歌手演唱的歌曲，这里有一个很好的经验法则：
◦ Female singing a male's song: Try raising the key by 3 to 5 steps (e.g., turn the knob from G, past A, to B or C).
◦ 女性唱男性的歌曲： 尝试将音调提高 3 到 5 步 （例如，将旋钮从 G 转到 A，再转到 B 或 C）。
◦ Male singing a female's song: Try lowering the key by 3 to 5 steps
◦ 男声唱女声的歌：尝试降低音调 3 到 5 个音阶.
With these fundamentals down, you're ready to make your music sound more dynamic and professional.
掌握了这些基础知识后，您就可以让您的音乐听起来更有活力、更专业了。
- Leveling Up: How to Create a Richer Sound
- 升级：如何创造更丰富的声音
Using the built-in dynamic features is the key to making your performance sound less like practice and more like music.
使用内置的动态功能是让您的表演听起来不像练习而更像音乐的关键。
5.1. Dynamic Performance: Using Two Pick Pads
5.1. 动态性能：使用两个拨片
The two pick pads are designed to give your songs emotional contour—soft for the verses, powerful for the chorus.
两个拨片旨在为您的歌曲赋予情感轮廓——主歌部分柔和，副歌部分有力。
| Pick Pad 拨片 | Typical Sound 典型声音 | Best Used For 最佳用途 |
|---|---|---|
| Pick Pad 1 拨片 1 | Softer, arpeggiated notes 更柔和的琶音音符 | Verses and quieter parts of a song. 歌曲的诗句和较安静的部分。 |
| Pick Pad 2 拨片 2 | Fuller, strummed chords 更饱满、更舒展的和弦 | Choruses and high-energy sections. 合唱和高能量部分。 |
The easiest way to make a song more exciting is to play the verses using Pick Pad 1 and then switch to Pick Pad 2 when the chorus hits. This simple change adds a huge amount of energy to your performance.
让歌曲更精彩最简单的方法就是用 Pick Pad 1 弹奏主歌 ，然后在副歌部分切换到 Pick Pad 2。 这个简单的改变就能为你的表演增添巨大的能量。
5.2. Adding a Beat: Using the Drum Feature
5.2. 添加节拍：使用鼓功能
Adding a drum track instantly makes you sound like a full band. Here’s how to control it.
添加鼓音轨后，你的音效会立刻变得像一支完整的乐队。以下是如何控制它。
1. To Start the Drums: Press the Drum Button on the fretboard with your left hand at the exact same time as you strum a pick pad with your right hand. The drum track will begin and loop automatically.
- 启动鼓组： 用左手按下指板上的鼓组按钮 ， 同时用右手拨动拨片。鼓组音轨将自动开始循环播放。
2. When to Add Drums: You can start the drums right at the beginning of a song for a full sound from the start. For a more dynamic build-up, a great technique is to add the drums right before a chorus. To do this, in the measure right before the chorus begins, use the third beat to press the drum button and strum simultaneously.
2. 何时添加鼓点： 你可以在歌曲一开始就加入鼓点，这样从一开始就能营造出饱满的音色。为了获得更动态的铺垫效果，一个很好的技巧是在副歌之前加入鼓点。具体做法是，在副歌开始前的小节，用第三拍按下鼓键并同时扫弦。
3. To Stop the Drums: Simply press the Multi-Function Button once. The beat will stop.
3. 停止鼓声： 只需按一下多功能按钮 ，节拍就会停止。
Now that you can add dynamics and a beat, let's explore how to completely customize your sound.
现在您可以添加动态和节拍，让我们探索如何完全自定义您的声音。

您不仅限于 Level Life 库中的歌曲！您可以在线找到数百万首歌曲的和弦图，并在吉他上弹奏，只要该图满足两个简单的要求：
1. It must be in the Key of C. The default chords on the guitar (I-VII) are based on the C Major scale, so charts written in the key of C will work perfectly.
- 必须是 C 调。 吉他上的默认和弦（I-VII）基于 C 大调音阶，因此用 C 调编写的图表将完美发挥作用。
2. It must have chords written above the lyrics. This is essential for knowing when to change chords as you sing.
2. 歌词上方必须写上和弦。 这对于唱歌时知道何时换和弦至关重要。
To play an online chart, simply go to the "Custom" mode in the app, set a style and tempo you like, and follow along with the chart on your screen.
