弹的节奏似乎比他人弹的快了点， 是不是录音之后快放造成的二次录音效果？

[lucabonvini]

@guzhanglong Not at all, it is just my natural way of playing it.... thank you for the comment and happy Year of the Dragon!

Wow! Amazingly good for a caucausian to play this piece!

[eastwest3002]

Yes, it is much harder to play Guqin than Cello if you know playing cello and violin at all. Think about the number of Guqin vs cello instructors and the availablity.

@lucabonvini Thanks for your reply, Happy New Year!

令我感到汗顏的精彩古琴演出

Very nice! May I ask how long have you been playing and whether you're self taught or have a teacher? I notice your vibratos are quite abrupt, specifically many 吟's are played as 撞, especially apparent in the beginning. Also I think if you pluck slightly lighter and with slower speed on the 1st and 2nd 徽 harmonics it might turn out smoother, especially on your current recording apparatus. What piece are you learning now?

好，见功力。 礼失求诸野

He performed better than so many Chinese and, lot of Chinese don't know what's Qin

Bien joué

[gnehzeey]

he started very well but the water he played in the last part is quite muddy! perhaps it's after heavy rain
