"Fighting The Typhoon" on guzheng

[hitdachronic94]

she has mastered the art of Ti Kwan Leep. Boot to the head.

[organist121893]

is this a modern composition?

[alovak456]

im dont understand why they write chinese zither its guzheng

[littleangel012]

yea -.- got a few tyes of zither...they should specify..

[littleangel012]

types :X sorry typo

[GrandWushu]

Good point. I wasn't really thinking too hard about it when I wrote the title. Thank you, I have changed it.

[Mystgun]

yeh but thats what people call it in english

[piggyric90]

cause in chinese , wee called it guzheng...

[wwlee5]

@alovak456 If you speak English, it is called a Chinese zither. Zither is a "table-harp." A guzheng, koto, dan tranh are zithers.

[sess224]

@alovak456 if you look real close you'll see an "or" in between guzheng and chinese zither and the reason being for that is some may know it as guzheng and other may know it as chinese zither

[GravityResistant]

I love the passion in this, it seems she is putting her feeling into it. I like to think that in any live performance, a musicians feeling for the music outweighs any minor mistakes! Thank you for posting this.

[pompo9000]

i think u have a good capability but maybe the problem of quality of guzheng.Because this song it hard song if u use good guzheng (i know it's so expensive) it make more clear and pure of your sound.anyway you was too young///practice and practice^_^

[Mystgun]

isnt this that song from kung fu hustle?

[nic95starz]

Alot of parts play wrong....

[rosachai6463]

小妹妹,表演前要多練習,指法馬虎,沒有認真去彈,應快的地方很­亂,很多地方彈錯.

[kary213]

@rosachai6463 这首很难，可能太紧张吧？

[Xxsabrina1996xX]

.. i play gu zheng too

[troberts1]

Ha! I was there for that performance. Was nice hearing it again. I enjoy her playing :D Do you perhaps have the silly play with the children students on video? I would /love/ to see that again.

[GrandWushu]

I don't want to say any names on a public forum, but are you the sister of a certain instructer at the school? I only ask because of the "Roberts"

Anyway, yeah, I have video of just about every performance from Malee's School in the past 3 years or so, including tournaments.

I will try to post it, but I am going away for a couple of weeks. If I don't have time tommorrow, it wont be until March that I can put it up.

[troberts1]

Yes, I am his sister. :)

Don't worry about getting it up before you go. I'll just subscribe so whenever you can get it up in March I'll be notified. Thank you. :) Have a good trip.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUU

How do you play this without your head exloding!?

[theJazziefox]

lol wow....she can play it cuz shes good like that

[QianHanXiongShou]

She is a beautiful girl and the pride of China.I am pleased she is upholding the ancient ways.

[spacecommander12]

the critics are just trying to help her improve for the most part so their opinions should be respected. to me this was incredible though :D

[goldenstarshipX]

i like your username.

[littleangel012]

this 1 my senior know how to play leh!!=D

[Vdubb]

That was very amazing and it sounded awesome.

[Vdubb]

That was very amazing and it sounded awesome.

[coligar]

think she did pretty well. nobody's zhan tai feng is flawless... and there would be slight differences everyone's interpretation. let's just put more emphasis on enjoying the music that's avail.

[swtmemories]

does anyone have the sheet notes to this? cna you send it to me please?

[Elaneban]

Everyones been a bit overly critical i am not an expert but it's a beautiful instrument and she's better than me hahaha!

[TactlessFool]

Ack! Im learning this song, but I feel so EMBARRASSED when I play because I'm so new to many of the Techniques, Tips anyone (little sleight of the hand tricks)?

[NickandJamie]

Yeah, I think that anyone who says she's not good needs to play it themselves and repost it. Words don't say as much as actions. I think this girl did a fine job and there is no need to be so critical. See, the beauty in music, is that it doesn't even have to be perfect to be beautiful :)

[GrandWushu]

Geez, everyones a critic. I posted it cause I thought it sounded beautiful and is an amazing peice. Also, Lillian is a friend. If you can do better, then God bless you, but no need to be nasty about it.

[darthsion71]

Ur right it is very amazing

[IcarusRun]

SO OUT OF TUNE. you don't have the control or pitch to play this song. The rhythm is terrible!

[littleangel012]

excuse mie...the rythm is juz rite...u dunno guzheng dun anyhow say

[sweetsensatI0n]

I play this song in SYF ...

she play not good enough it seems like in a hurry and some of the notes didnt play clearly or jumping some of the notes .

[NekooChan]

Hmm, you're not doing good enough at 0:45, because, you're sliding up and down too fast. You need to work on controlling your speed. I can see some parts are missing in the song. I know, because the person who wrote this song is actually my teacher here in New York City.

[fobbyrice]

really? how old is your teacher? i thought this was a old traditional piece on guzheng

[NekooChan]

I think shes 50 or something.. Im not sure just guessing lolz.

[darthsion71]

I bet you couldn't do any better.

[papadopilo]

Hm. Hm. Not good enought. She simplifie some important part of the original song to much. But still good to be performed. Wang Chang-Yuan as have done this original do it mush better. But it is nice to see that there are som artists wish try to do this song, even it is difficult.

Norway

[Thiinspogirl]

its not good enough you have to practice. your fingers on 1:06-1:7 etc.

[AshleyArmadillo]

WOW, she is just amazing, its so beautiful and she makes it look easy, a sign of a true artist!

[luckyxcharms168]

HOLY CRAP.

im learning this song.

and its VERY DIFFICULT.

[UncleBebby]

it's amazing to watch her fingers dance across the strings, like some elaborate dance.

[cubiclejo]

She is very good.

[zeplinwolf]

Bravo!

[NipponNihonKoku]

Simply beautiful. Thank you for this work of art.

[nivsha]

VERY well done! Bravo!!!! So enjoyable to watch and hear you perform, very difficult piece and you flowed great with it.

[GrandWushu]

Thank you, I am just the videographer, but I will print out and pass on your compliment to Lilian.
