Traditional Japanese koto score uses the kanji 一二三四五六七八九十斗为巾 To notate the strings being plucked So anything more than 13 strings would use a different notation system. Japanese "koto" can refer to both Zheng 筝 (same kanji in Guzheng) and Qin 琴 (same kanji in Guqin) kzread.info/dash/bejne/aKuEl5Knira9Zco.html The contemporary "Guzheng" is 21 strings and the S shaped back yueshan or the "S-type Guzheng" Is a design pioneered by the Zhejiang Guzheng school in the 1980s one of the distinctive feature is the introduction of "steel core nylon wrapping" strings. The green spacer strings is also used to mark octaves. Guzheng wear 4 faux nails on both hands, that is teardrop shaped picks, Japanese koto uses a rectangular shaped pick that's usually white color and only the thumb, index and middle finger is wearing the picks. Yamada koto school uses a rounded profile picks much similar to Guzheng. This is a Japanese school koto club, the picks are rounded as opposed to rectangular. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pGRhs9Samdmxc6w.html A lot of koto playing uses the "sandwich plucking" by pressing the pick right against the strings "sandwiching/pinching" before "snapping" off the strings. This playing technique is more commonly seen used on the Guqin as plucking with faux nails using this method will cause noise Guqin that play with actual fingernails is still using this method of "sandwich plucking" Guzheng most contemporary playing will use a "hover plucking" by initiating the plucking motion about 5 mm off the strings to reduce the noise produced by the faux nails contacting the strings. Koto strings is tetron (synthetic silk string) which give a more silk sound. That along with the Korean Gayageum and Mongolian Yatga is easily to be mistaken for the same instrument.

Acoustic I wasn't surprised by. Making it work without drums is impressive.

You should check out Hayseed Dixie. A bluegrass band that covers the Lads from Down Under. Turns out Highway to Hell was written for the mandolin

The best part of this (besides her absolutely killer rendition of a rock classic) is imagining how many times she might have listened to the original AC/DC song (Yes, I know she based this on a guitar adaptation by Luca Stricagnoli) to get the real flavor of what she was playing. Having that song as a permanent resident in your head could lead to some interesting life experiences.

Every time I watch this I am floored by the skill on display.

That's just speechless, a performance I would love to see in person, a visual acoustic sensory overload. Thank you so very much. ✌️🙏

Very talented, yes. But what we are also seeing and hearing is countless hours of disciplined devotion to the craft. Wonderful.

This is why I've become a KZread addict. And hats off to AC/DC for the creation of the original. Do you think they ever had any idea their song would produce some of the best covers ever seen anywhere? I would love to know more about the instrument used here.......thank you Moyun, you made me smile today

It's one of those songs that just sounds like it is supposed to exist. Like it was just plucked from the Ether. Can you imagine a world without it?

Isn't amazing how a piece of music can completely turn your mood around? I was so down, and this vid got me so fired up. Thank you for your beautiful art!

Absolutely amazing ❤ never even heard of this instrument until now. Please keep up the superbly skilled playing. ❤

Absolutely brilliant. I love the way it wasn't merely a cover of the original, but her own embellishment.

That's like saying a leaf is a bastardization of a rock. They are just different things altogether.

This really shows not only the genius of this musician but also the genius of AC/DC.

@cagney The majority of people around the world, including China, enjoy pop music. A country's success doesn't depend on their musicians. Even if it did, there are people just as talented as this girl in the US.

Why would you compare her to an American rapper and not a classically trained expert musician from any country?

​@cagney billingsley you are literally named cagney

I would have never thought of using the tuning wrench to change the pitch of the string while playing... Genius!

This is truly a masterpiece.

Thousands of hours of work and dedication all culminating in one of the single most impressive covers I've ever heard. Sometimes I can't even see you plucking the strings in-between the percussion. True mastery on display

I've been a fan of AC/DC since 1977 and this is incredible. A thousand words come to mind , awesome beautiful impressive original while paying tribute I could just go on. Thank you.

The instrument you were playing is fascinating!!! Watching you play it so masterfully is just amazing!!! Beautifully done!!!!

i never, never, never tire of listening and watching her technique.

I didn't realize a Guzeng was capable of such heavenly music. Very very talented.

Her mask freaked me out for a second there! So cool! A really great rendition of this song!

Holy cow; i can't imagine the coordination required to do this - I can't even see some of your hand and finger movements they are so quick! Amazing job.

Not only is that an amazingly creative interpretation of a great Rock song but I just love the part where she opens the storage compartment on the Right, put the tuning tool in it, and slams the door in rhythm to the song. so great!

I think she actually tossed the tuner away. It never went in the box.

Never in my life seeing someone playing Guzhen this way. Moyun is rock! Really bring new life to this acient instrument 👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰

墨韵小姐姐，妳這身打扮，還有古箏，這整個畫面，搬到法國，德國，西班牙，這些歐洲老牌國家的大城市街頭表演，基本已經無敵了！這種演奏方式已經達到了一個新的高度！ 如果在我們台灣街頭我看到這樣的表演，我一定會去投錢，這是很用心的表演！ 🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮

MoYun - this was amazing. You're very talented and you make it all look so easy - a true testament to hard work, dedication and years' of practice. One of the best AC/DC songs and one of the best versions too.

Just the strings could have impressed me...she took it beyond ❤❤

Not an AC/DC fan by any stretch of the imagination, but "Thunderstruck" on a classical instrument like this is just plain fire!! 🔥🔥🔥 Well done! 👏👏👏

That was freaking amazing. The tuning bend, the bridge moving, the percussion + rhythm + melody all at the same time 👍

this is no joke one of the coolest things I have ever seen and one fo the most impressive things I have ever heard. Also super dig your persona. Just wow.

Making tuning a part of the performance is such a galaxy brain move

the guzheng has a very traditional-ish sound, being able to arrange this piece in such a way is very, very impressive
