Playing traditional Chinese GUQIN 古琴 for the first time

Thank you to the Edmonton Chinatown Multicultural centre for hosting us :)
It was so fun to learn about Guqin and its history.
I may be more of a Guzheng kind of gal, but that won't stop me from learning lol

Learning a new language can be hard. The reason why I make these videos about culture and traveling is because I believe it not only keeps me motivated, but maybe it can motivate others too! I feel so curious about other places in the world and it's so exciting to constantly learn new things; if you are here watching this video, you must be similar and I'm glad we ran into each other! Thank you for watching :)

Yo Guqin is HARD - but it’s soooo fun to play 😂 would you learn it? 🤩

[@hendrik7502]

Agree with you Jen. Guqin is the hardest instrument to play. It takes years to master. Keep your interest going. Cheers!

[@ThatsReallyJen]

I can imagine it definitely takes that long 🫠

[@PracticaProphetica]

I think it depends on if you have familiarity with other plucked string instruments. But if you have to learn Chinese first, to read the notation, then yeah, it could take a long time!

我有个会弹古琴的学生，上海被封期间我们开线上视频活动，他演奏给我们听，非常震撼！他拿出谱子的时候我们都震惊了，完全看不懂🤣
