I hope Slash sees this. This is great. That solo blew me away.

[@yose42]

totally agree!

[@gingertroy6329]

Its times like this, where I think how many more talented people out there would I not get to see without youtube or the internet in general, so happy right now to be able to experience other peoples talents!

[@hdlaptogames8936]

muy sierto

[@alienindisguise5546]

you have to have some Pretty Quick fingers to play such an instrument

[@cokebottles5218]

And 5 years later I'm only watching this because Covid-19 quarantine.

[@timrichards6761]

Well said! Same here. 👏👍✌️

[@jeffennis256]

Facts

[@18kehawkin]

She should open up this song at their concert when it comes time. This is gorgeous. She rocks this like a boss!!

[@blindsasquatch1984]

i can truthfully say this is one of the most amazing musical feats that i have ever seen, miss kwan. you have amazing talent.

[@MaliciousMollusc]

You've actually outplayed Slash on accoustic, holy crap! You are one awesome rocker!

[@seraphicrevan3725]

Kinda awkward how I prefer this over the original..it's rather relaxing after a long hard day. Kudos.

[@DaveTexas]

How on earth could anyone have given this video a thumbs down? This is one of the most awesome videos ever uploaded to KZbin! You are phenomenal, Michelle Kwan!

[@davidlancaster8152]

I get a thrill every time I watch and listen to this. Entrancing! Never fails!

[@ALEJO7304]

Amazing combining traditional instruments with modern music. Awesome performance !!!!!!! Congratulations !!!!

[@mikerodgers9238]

Nicely done. especially the solo. The bandanna is the icing on the cake.

[@The95edwin]

i never thought that guzheng can also play rock songs like sweet child o'mine... great job! keep up the good work!

[@jheaton]

The Axl headband and sunglasses are a great touch!

[@horsepotatoes]

Michelle you rock! You are a gifted musician thanks for sharing your talents with us. Awesome job!!

[@JaguarStar999]

Actually there have been a few rock bands that have combined rock tunes with classical asian instruments and it sounds amazing. This girl is very good!

[@JackIsMe1993]

any recommendations?

[@shoepixie]

Yes, what are a few?

[@Quiet015]

Shoe the Pixie Incubus- Aqueous Transmission. Gorillaz- Hong Kong are two that I've found.

[@ulNag]

Shoe the Pixie try monkey magik - change.. It's my favorite!!

[@KanGameR]

i realize this is 2 years later but check out wagakki band

[@nicolaschenclaudialin7339]

The beatiful sound of the instrument, makes me feel like it combines with any style, it can replicate any style, any instrument, like the piano too, thats what made me wanna learn guzheng and currently im only a starter that barely knows the basics but i have a goal, is to be good enough to play the songs i want, play songs that werent made for guzheng but still play it, like miss kwan here, youre really what i look forward to become

[@marypoppins123]

I have really fallen in love with this instrument. Love your video😌🥳

[@mitchboyd8559]

This is legitimately one of the best things I've ever seen.

[@BatRoulette]

I'd pay to see her in concert

[@RadicalUnionist]

Wonderful job. Crossing the boundaries of how we look at music! I love it!

[@vaillancourtpatrick]

This is ridiculously good!!! Awesome vid! Great tribute to GNR.

[@DakeFeng]

Cannot remember how many times I replayed this on my computer...

[@clunkmess]

this brought tears to my eyes for some reason.

[@davidbrewin8918]

Thankyou, very inspirational across generations, my daughter and I loved it.

[@GarudaPhoenix]

Awesome. Very talented lady. Love the sound of the Guzheng.

[@LadyFan05]

I could listen to this all night! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!

[@user-zf7gv9me6f]

Love the Axl Rose outfit. Love that you amped and distorted your guzheng. I can hear the "singing" coming through just like Axl used to do it, down to every last whine. Amazing. Request? Novemeber Rain??? Used to play in back on my flute, piano, and clarinet back in the day. Just pulled out the sheet music from 1992 and have been practicing again. Would be amazing on guzheng!

[@TankenkaNeko]

I am not always a fan of GnR, but this song was always a good one, and this is an epic spin on it! Love it!

[@JOeSJNrForReal]

Another nice touch to a classic 80's rock hit! well done Michelle Kwan !

[@gp235801]

[@nomanno9867]

You make something so difficult look SO easy. Great vid.

[@shuko1998]

Oooh, gives me those sweet, delicious goosebumps. :) It's amazing how an obscure (at least, in my country it is) instrument and a talented mind can give such an iconic song a fresh, saucy new sound. Keep up the good work, lady. You're alchemizing gold and throwing it out to the masses here.

[@philrodda3651]

We are a grade 12 band class in Canada and we think you are very talented and AWESOME!!!!!!! Amazing Work!

[@clivewells7090]

This is actually better than Luna Lee's version! Wow! And, yes, we do love your Axl outfit! Hopefully the KZbin algorithm will suggest yor work to more people's as it deserves a greater audience. (I can't believe this is 6 years old!) Thank you Michelle, wishing you well and good luck! X

[@DanDemmons]

I love this version, thank you!

[@DcHewlett]

Bonus points for the Axl headband and sunglasses!

[@ThePepjam89]

This rendition of Sweet Child o' Mine gave me chills. Awesome!

[@richardjones4080]

nice to see this amazing example of 2 cultures coming together musically wow

[@gsyvr]

I'm speechless. An amazing musician.

[@constancemiller3753]

NPR asked for'moments of Joy from the internet. This is mine. I have had the G&R version come on my car radio and thought "let's go to the best" and blasted this on my phone instead. Rock on Canada's Guzheng Goddess.

[@MrCinghialotto]

i'm in heaven...right now! gal , u r amazing!

[@davidibarra1972]

jamas pense escuchar en guzheng algo de metal, hermosa convinacion de acordes. sigue subiendo mas y gracias

[@rajasimanta]

[@DanDemmons]

Absolutely love, love, love your version of this beautiful song! Thank you!

[@rudyernestoluchsingerfuent3655]

No he parado de escuchar estos dos covers "One" y Swett Child o' Mine, excelente interpretación, ojala que esta preciosidad siga deleitándonos con más covers....

[@chuckboone681]

That is awesome and inspiring!! Thank you !!!

[@Tylerpierre99]

Oh my god! That solo is amazing.

[@justmart4455]

[@snoeleppard]

When I tell my parents I like Guns ‘N Roses, what I actually mean is I like guzheng Guns ‘N Roses. 🌹

[@Tylerpierre99]

This comment is underrated

[@vaderetrosatana625]

[@gavinpratt7157]

[@carlschultz7902]

I am so amazed by your skill!!!! love it, you put so much heart in what you do!!

[@davidcarpenter2101]

I can't get over how beautiful the opening riff sounds on this instrument... Or the melody for that matter. Plus she NAILED the solo. Way to go!

[@vaderetrosatana625]

i agree, this {for now lets call it} " rock princess "nailed it...

[@andylayokorose8123]

Quiero aprender a tocar ese instrumento..que fascinante.. la manera que tocas.. Saludos desde Argentina!

[@dylanakent]

I'm in love with this music! That riff starting at 2:33 blows me away permanently.

[@r4ngo574]

Dylan A. Kent excuse me where can I learn this talent

[@LOSKIDIOS]

Oh god these sounds fall into one's soul,beautiful cover *-*,You're very talented keep it up,i like it

[@Midsummer333]

You are such a talented young lady! This is one of my favorite instruments for traditional music, but you have taken it to another level. I wish you great success in the future.

[@elbejbunio920]

I was like "Yeah it's OK" untill I heard the solo, then I was like "Holy fuck, wonderful!".

[@barknklc]

Wonderful ^^ Please more covers especially from rock-metal bands ;)

[@Jesse-B]

Intonation, rhythm, groove, all brilliant.

[@davidmanhart1]

Over 1 million views! Right on! You certainly deserve it.. Thank you for brightening my day with your performance.

[@sl1ceofpotatoe]

girl u a legend

[@ShiningSun2K]

Congrats on the Guitar World feature. This is absolutely amazing and worthy of every bit of the attention it's receiving. I'd love to make a request, but it's hard to imagine having to follow that performance. What about "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)" by Motley Crue?

[@damircid6666]

Ooooohhhh...Magia!!!Gracias por compartir!

[@boof0569sm]

U took me away to that special place just then, because that was beautiful. My favorite GNR song & u slayed it. :) Awesome job.

[@ashtonlofquist2368]

Somebody send this to Slash!! It's awesome!!

[@machinelfgaming]

Beautiful

[@RockNRollDad88]

never knew a guzheng exsisted before now, and im blown away, this is absolutely amazing!!!

[@AdamWorthington]

The fact this song can sound beautiful on any instrument says a lot about the song itself and the minds of those made it - especially Slash since he came up with the riff. :)

[@williamkerr]

That was time well spent!

[@xiomara1202]

Me encanto, que hermoso suena!!!!

[@whlong35]

Thank you for sharing your performance,that was amazing! This is a favorite song of mine and you not only did it justice but made it very much your own. Loved it.

[@adlorin]

Beautiful beyond words! Thanks for helping to keep metal fresh!

[@bwnh]

Librarians came over to tell her to KEEP IT DOWN, but immediately got on their knees and bowed repeatedly muttering "we're not worthy, we're not worthy!" over and over again.

[@peculiarxty4626]

Plot twist : that's her bedroom

[@ALETIRAMISU]

GENIA!!!

[@Eclipse807]

Super cool. One of my all time favorite songs. I'm subscribed!

[@steelcity6314]

I had no clue what a guzheng was before this. but you have made me a fan of this instrument. amazing

[@DutchGuyMike]

Such a underrated channel!

[@BryanMontford]

Wish I could click Like more than once.

[@sbeal117]

One of the best things I've heard or seen. Great talent.

[@thomasedwards3243]

I have commented on two videos in my years of KZbin watching. This is not an instrument for everyone, but damn, this was awesome. Very impressive playing.

[@capitantogosa]

Tremendaaaaa muy bueno

[@Pandamokneeums]

looks & sounds like a Japanese Koto :) awesome performance!

[@SoumiSu]

Probably because the Koto is a descendant of the Chinese Guzheng (the original ancestor of several zither instruments).

[@HrishiRao717]

THIS IS BREATHTAKING! I LOVE YOUR WORK!

[@sladeshepherd8135]

THAT WAS ABSOLUTLY INCREDIBLE!!!! LOVED IT!!!!

[@usmctien]

You should be touring with G&R!

[@GingerSnape46]

Do "Crazy Train" from Black Sabbath!

[@GingerSnape46]

***** Ooops. Well, at least I knew Ozzy had something to do with it.

[@BahstX]

Mr. Crowley would sound uber creepy...

[@dpendergra4691]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! Love it!

[@DonisMarlon]

Simplemente increible - Simply amazing! Great version

[@rulasvlog6412]

chingon =in Mexico

[@Mely_miw]

[@1972oat]

Rammstein's "Du Hast" should be awesome. Thanks in advance

[@taylorshepherd1795]

This is so beautiful that it brought me to tears. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Rock on. Play on.

[@jasonjohnson9730]

Absolutely amazing!

[@thatguyontheright1]

Failtfully by Journey Riders in the Sky, Johnny Cash

[@frankgrimes16]

I would love to hear this without the back track. When it is solo it starts to ring together and sounds so pretty...the backtrack drowns it out.

[@bradfordmiller7987]

I shared your vid with friends and ALL SAY ,YOU ARE GREAT! True classy classic Traditional style with Rock& Roll twist! Please generate More & Post'em...I'm subscribed! Thanks...

[@zenel25]
