Happy new year! The polyphonic zither I just bought here will bring you an avant-garde song with a full flavor of the new year. Playing God! @Polyphia
(auto-translated from the Chinese)
I posted a blog before soliciting covers that everyone wants to hear, and I was keen to find that several people of insight mentioned Playing God. You fairies! Polyphia is an avant-garde band I like very much, but their chords basically have no room for realization on my traditional guzheng. However, at the end of last year, Dunhuang recommended this polyphonic zither with 43 strings! I feel like I can do it again! I can! I'm sorry to say that I was already absent-minded when I was practicing nuclear explosions, so I just tried to play this song hahahaha while practicing. Playing God can be said to be the most terrifying cover ever, the chords are extremely perverted, the rhythm is very rough, and the vocal range is invincible and jumping, it is simply inhuman! So the cover still has a lot of simplifications, I hope all the guitar masters can give me more advice!
Hope you like it! Remember to subscribe to this channel!

首先感謝包老師@包達quinnbao 熬禿頭受大罪傾情製作的伴奏，連口哨都包圓了，不愧是「包」老師！做完之後他進入了看戲模式，因為這首曲子真正的折磨對我來說剛剛開始……   自從決定下手小p這首神曲，我的每天就是： 早起舔原作--帥啊Tim！帥啊Scott！優雅！太優雅了！白天找翻奏--強啊這個指彈老師！強啊這個琵琶老師！晚上自己扒譜-- 救命啊！這個曲子要創死我！   但是開工沒有回頭箭，尤其是包老師伴奏已經做出來了……那就衝！扒完intro我還躊躇滿志，畢竟吾有上將43弦多聲箏。到了A段開始傻眼，進入Bossa滿目瘡痍，到了尾段徹底瘋狂！！這是什麼神仙寫出來的和弦？？敦煌爸爸我需要一台十二平均律的古箏謝謝……都說隔行如隔山，就算我把所有的音都調出來，吉他一個掃弦的音域跨度在這個更寬更大的琴上是無法實現的。所以適當的還是做了很多簡化，個別和弦五個音只保留了倆，大家湊合聽hhhhh～_(:з」∠)_ 這個曲子里的技巧滿天飛就不做贅述，再來說這個新到手的多聲箏。變得更寬更薄並去掉頭尾之後音色和傳統箏確實還是有區別，對於可以中途換區域演奏的曲子（比如這次），是很便利的。但是兩邊隔得又挺遠不能同時彈，在涉及高音的快速樂段左邊18弦的小箏其實用不上。這種情況就還是雙箏竪著擺比較實用。而且由於特殊定弦，左邊的弦已經非常軟了，剛好用在bossa那一段模仿一下古典吉他屁響屁響的感覺（對不起……(ಡωಡ)   機緣巧合天時地利，終於翻奏了Polyphia，也算完成了一樁心願！以後也會繼續探索～請大家多多指教！

@aitharel3009 7 месяцев назад

Pretty sure koto and guzheng are distinctively different instruments, although similar, but they each have their own charm. I think koto personally sounds more "stringy" to me. Have you tried both? I'm curious how similar technique is as they're obviously the "same" kind of instrument.

@yukikofujiwara2144 7 месяцев назад

@@aitharel3009 I should've said "as a zither player" Never played a guzheng, but on koto we don't play the other side of those bridges (kotoji, I don't know what guzheng players call them). I forgot that was a thing on guzheng. Maybe it's a scale length thing, but it doesn't sound very musical on koto, we use that side exclusively for bends and vibrato.

@aitharel3009 7 месяцев назад

@@yukikofujiwara2144 Oh I think I get what you meant now. Yes for sure, interesting, they look "the same" in terms of playing but had no idea about the playing style. I'm not sure if the other side of the bridge playing is actually "traditional" either though as it's a modified guzheng. Usually they're only used for bends and vibrato too most of the time I think? Have to say, I am a little jealous of you guys playing one of those "traditional" instruments haha.

@@aitharel3009 I actually play 3 traditional Japanese instruments: koto, kokyu, and shamisen. My mother taught traditional music in Osaka for years, and was a traditional musician and enka singer before that as well.

Yet each have their own distinctive nuances in sound which make them quite distinguishable. I always wanted to try one of these as I've only played a classical instrument, but really do enjoy a lot of these traditional ones, so the fact that you play three! Haha

@ghannawi13 Год назад

Weirdly enough, I think the Guzheng lends itself well to this style of play. Tim Henson uses a style that has a lot of polyphonic layering, and that's very difficult on a guitar. However, an instrument inherently built for polyphonic rhythms might have an easier time replicating that style than other instruments out there. That being said, its still very difficult to pull this off, and it was amazing to watch.

This genius showcased her highest musicality and BADASSERY in its purest form. I was actually laughing the whole time in utter disbelief), and my favorite - Chinese song Quan Yu Tian Xia (with a whopping 22 million views on a different channel, on here it's 2.2 million). I still have yet to pick up my jaw from the floor! 😀👍 She hails from Chengdu, mainland China.

Pretty sure Thunderstruck is playing audio that was recorded independently of the video footage, which taints the whole thing for me. Sounds awesome though.

@selfactualizer2099 Год назад

Acdc...thunderstruck.............I think the polyphia transposing is a thousand times better ..... I don't want to hear another acdc cover And view count doesn't mean better, view count is usually determined by "how cool the video looks" moreso than "how intricate is the music theory/performance" Don't believe me? Look at the comments, it's more about the background than the insane playing, You know, the whole "virtuosity is dead" thing, because people only want to see or hear cool things, instead of you know, being musically inclined Edit: I mean, frank zappa is an absolute legend but lower view counts than he deserves, Same for many other legends, they weren't "pop" enough

@TheSpartanS196 Год назад

@@Lundix You think that in music videos you actually "see" the musicians playing the track you listen to? lmaoooo oh boi. Like, yes, they play to have realistic hand movements and so the video fits the audio, but the audio you're listening to isn't a "live recording" of the take of their video. And I thought that was obvious...

@jegnur Год назад

@@TheSpartanS196 Depends on the video and artist, sometimes it absolutely is a live take.

@TheSpartanS196 Год назад

@@jegnur Music videos in 99.9999999% of the cases aren't. And I mean official music videos, with editing, special effects, maybe even some story going on, cuts, all the things that make them "cinematographic". A dude playing the guitar while sitting isn't a music video (and unless it's one single continuous take with no cuts and embellishments, that's probably 'fake' too. Like, if it changes POV, then focusses on the hands, then the dude has changed bass/guitar/whatever...). Live takes are live takes and thus their quality mostly sucks. If you want sound quality you ain't getting it with a live video recording.

@ianmcleod44 Год назад

I don't know much about the 43 string polyphonic zither but clearly it is a difficult instrument to play and then you chose one of the hardest 4 min songs to play. It sounded brilliant. Well done.

@LogioTek Год назад

from her pinned comment it was so difficult that she had the instrument redesigned: bring strings closer, make them longer, and completely change native tuning to 12-tone equal temperament to pull this off

The expressiveness of guzheng and your playing works so well with this piece. You can get the crisp sound of Tim's playing with the expressiveness and rich harmonics of the guzheng. They should take you on tour.

@situateratasthe_curse_of_t6588 Год назад

THIS. IS. TALENT, DEDICATION AND HARD WORK right there. Those harmonics muting on the select notes ACROSS that instrument is CRAZY supreme timed and attacked, way on point even more so than some of the most seasoned guitarists could pull off with lesser fingers and just 1 hand on a much narrower frets' space BRAVO. 👏👏👏 lol rest of us geezer weekend bassists better at least get SOME of our game up methinks.
