Yizu Wuqu (Dance of the Yi People) 彝族舞曲

A famous composition for the Chinese Pipa by Wang Huiran, based on the dances of the Yi minority tribes in Sichuan province. This guitar arrangement covers the first and second movements and outro in a style faithful to the Pipa sound. Parts of this tune are taught in my book/CDs World Guitar and Guitar Explorer, available from Hal Leonard Publishing.

My transcriptions are split up - part one is in the book World Guitar and part 2 is in Guitar Explorer. But I'll see about posting the pdf of the whole thing in tab + notation. Thanks!

Only parts are covered? If you would of said "all of this song is covered in my book" then it would of been a done deal I would of bought a copy right away. Is there anyway to find a version such as yours in tab version anyway? The only yi dance tab I can find is ridiculously untrue to the pipa version. Yours as wells as Xuifei's version are both amazing.

@Eatpeoplealive1 I made this reply long ago but didn't direct it to you: My transcriptions are split up - part one is in the book World Guitar and part 2 is in Guitar Explorer. But I'll see about posting the pdf of the whole thing in tab + notation. Thanks!
