[iammyy]

thanks! i'm glad you liked it

[iammyy]

thank you !

[cutegal253]

who are they? are they alduts or jc or poly or secondary sch people?????? they sound so good!

[iammyy]

thanks =) I've just graduated from secondary school when I had this performance. (now i'm much older..haha)

[seniorwisdom]

You are really good.what level are you.This is a hard song for me.But you play perfect.What brand guzheng do you have?

[iammyy]

i'm not sure which brand is it..but i got it from Shanghai =)

I've stopped learning at Grade 9.

[TheAnimat0r]

that was realy realy good that sounded great

[iammyy]

thank you !

[TheAnimat0r]

Your welcome-you should make another video of you playing

[Wishchrono]

Someone said your movements were robotic, but if you listen to parts of the rhytm, sometimes during the piece, it actually has a very steady pulse... To me, it seems you were following the music :) In any case, how you move during what you play is your business anyways :P Very nice performance and music!

[iammyy]

thanks ! =)

[iammyy]

thank you ! =)

[SetsukiKiome]

YOU DID AMAZING!

[iammyy]

Thank You =)

[Nottidredd]

[iammyy]

[johnlv12]

watch?v=mioGewkWVdo

[muikhimvscherie]

I've played Guzheng for 7 years..

She don't play really well to say the truth..

Her 遥指 is wrong, and her posture is not moving along with the music, it's kinda robotic..but the sound quality is quite good..

[iammyy]

hi.i think it doesnt matter how long u've been playing (i've played for almost 13 years btw)

and of course,i'm not claiming to be the best but I think i ought to respond to your comment as there are many ways of 遥指 (you'll learn from different guzheng teachers in different regions) and yeap, i have to admit my body movement may not be that obvious. But i guess everyone has room for improvement. =)

hope to hear your performance too,so that I can learn from others.

Thanks though!

[SetsukiKiome]

dont worry, you did great! ^^

[muikhimvscherie]

iS it?

I don't noe there's different ways of yao zhi..

cos' last time when i used you way of yao zhi and i got lectured by my teacher..

Thanks too..

[SetsukiKiome]

what the hell is wrong with you? lets see you play better then! EVeryone is good in there own way

[iammyy]

i second that =)

[kiddy555]

do u noe guzheng cost how miuch>

[iammyy]

the cheapest may cost you about SGD$600 for the standard beginner ones.

Of course,you can choose to buy a cheaper second hand guzheng if you have just started.

The guzheng we are playing with ranges from $2k to $5k

[SasukeMatch]

I play guzheng too! im taking classes rite now i've been playing for a year now :D

[Cubinoid]

Wow! That is so beautiful.

[YoodellyHoo]

Sounds absolutely beautiful! I live in the UK - do you know if I can get hold of a gu zheng, or even import one from overseas?

[iammyy]

hi ! maybe you can try UK's chinatown area though I'm not sure if there will be chinese instrument shops around.

Importing from overseas will probably cost you quite abit for shipping ! (because its so heavy and you probably need someone to tune it after transportation)

[YoodellyHoo]

Ok thanks - I'll have a look next time I'm in London!

[symphonyofpaint]

i like it!

[iammyy]

glad you did =) thanks!

[iammyy]

thank you !

if you ever travel to Singapore, do drop by our guzheng centre ! we'll love to show you around and perhaps you can try the instrument yourself ! =)

to be honest,its quite hard to learn guzheng online because of how complicated the instrument might be.try to look for a teacher around your neighbourhood =) good luck !

[iammyy]

it was during our guzheng troupe's concert at Esplanade in 2004.

glad u liked it.

[iammyy]

My instructor is Mr Tan Chin Huat.

we teaches at schools and our own guzheng centre. =) if u wanna know more abt it then do email me instead. =)

exit18@gmail.com

the scores ah..i'm not sure if i can send this one to u cuz the centre bought the copyrights and all from the rightful owner.Perhaps u can try looking at the china sites for more or ask ur instructor ! =)

[ngmeileng]

wow can email me the guzheng scores anot. I really love the song. I've been playing for 4.25yrs le. my yao zhi still not very nice leh. ur hua yin also very soothing. I love it. Who's your guzheng instructor? :)

[GongFuChina]

And how long have you played?

[iammyy]

hi.thanks for ur comment. =)

well..firstly its quite hard to explain over internet but i can ensure u that it takes beginners some months to practice their 遥指 well to make it sound smooth.

i've been playing for the past 10..almost 11 years. =) since young.so yups.it takes time to master the guzheng techniques though its really easy to learn. invest in a good guzheng and teacher =)

all the best!

[GongFuChina]

Very nice, I can't play =( how do you make the muti-string sound? 遥指 I been trying to play but no chance and no teacher ^_-

[chocobeano]

nice nice nice, cool solo, i was actually able to study with this playing in the background :D, what's the song called? can i download it somewhere =]

[iammyy]

woahh..thanks alot. (=

well the song is called "yi li he pan" (伊犁河畔)

i'm not sure if you can download it anyways but u can listen to this if you like ! hahaha..

[han5henman]
