[smileyman455]

What do pipas resonate off of? there is no hole like on an accoustic guitar, yet the sound is pretty loud

[Shana007]

@smileyman455 it's slightly indented to make the sound a bit louder.

[fcb619]

@smileyman455 there is actually a sound hole behind the bridge and the bottom of the pipa, inside the pips is hollow covered by the mian ban

[PhillipTunaLunatique]

[caoyinan]

他演奏的是古曲月儿高

[DaJazzBass]

Wow, very good playing.

Beautiful instrument. Looks very well aged. Has this been passed down over a generation or two?

[iwasteourtime]

does anyone know the name of this tune?

[cacalacapoo]

The High-Risen Moon

[S1587915G]

'Yue Er Gao' in Chinese.

[ceci168]

Thanks so much for the video. I met the man in 1987. One of the best players ever. He's not pretentious at all.

[iwasteourtime]

captivating

[pepamethodman]

PIIIIPAAAAAA!!!

[dissonancedistorsion]

I love how he floors the audience with awesomeness, and then at the end, he's so friendly/down to earth... "I'll play up to here..." (then excitedly) "There's still another half!!"

[alonzogarbanzo]

Thanks to dissonancedistorsion for the translation. He is a winning fellow all right, and MAN is that beautiful playing.

[jevoshawke13]

For all guitarists who are interested in world music and happen to check this out, note the pipa technique of doing tremolos with the backs of the fingernails (although picks are used) on all five fingers. Pretty amazing.

[loverpath]

[wanwanpipa]

[loverpath]

月儿高

[iniakiii]

[AradynnNyzon]

it's a pipa, it's in the title of the video

[rex1KILLER]

moon rising or the high moon

[wanwanpipa]

it literally means The High Moon

there are tones of unofficial english titles for this piece of music:

The Moon Rising, The Glorious Moon, The Cresting Moon, The Moon High in the Heaven....

[ViolinIdiot]

This video inspires me to play the pipa someday . Wonderful !

[hitomiyamamoto]

I love his facial experessions as he plays it shows how he is passionate into what he is doing

[pranhu]

i love this piece .. it s called The moon hanging Hight .. i guess

[laobaitu]

俞良模真不愧为演奏大家，我爱听爱看！

[moonrakertsar]

He is an absolutely amazing, must be one of the very best player in China.

[RandomTask3000]

I kind of want to buy one of these and shamelessly use it for American music.

[xingfenzhen]

I think cold fairyland (A Chinese Rock band) already beat you to it. just search for them on youtube.

[kenrubes]

man, is this beautiful. His phrasing is executed with such clarity. Thanks SO much for this awesome upload!!

[Tofu572]

damn, gnar-points to this guy, definitely

[selimion]

omg look at his pipa its like all destroyed but he doesnt buy a new one coz he loves the music he plays

[zyxxe]

There's nothing wrong with his pipa. The wood darkened with age, and the lighter parts are where are 'paths' he might have scratched while plucking.

In fact, no normal player would want to change an instrument that he had been playing for a long time, because he would have been so used to the instrument. The music and feel actually get better when you are that much acquainted with your instrument. :)

[haimcito]

amazing,what a sensibility. does anybody can send score or tab of this lovely music? or tell me where to find it? thanks a lot.

[xingfenzhen]

search 琵琶曲谱 月儿高 on google and the first hit will land you the score. But it is in Solfege format where 1 =G.

[ChineseKungFu01]

very nice play

[kaljan]

yea right he is a master and he is very good at!!!! thx for the vid

[snowmanma]

Grand old master of the instrument - truly inspiring!

[Sathanico]

this University is in the inner true China city of Xianxiang where you find the real Chinese people. Its and old city with wonderful culture and traditional music such as this, the emprerors dined and lived with this music surrounding them.

[cacalacapoo]

What a bunch of crap...how can you generalize "real" chinese people.

[panheat]

awesome

[jimineycricket84]

a true master of music

[candyihhihi]

[PhiLong123]
