She must feel caged up and suppressed by society, the same as me! I felt us connect! I am a guitarist too. I have heard lots of interpretations of guitar music. Some people play with no soul or feeling. This lady had everything there, including her spirit. The most gorgeous playing I have ever heard! I thought I was the only person today playing classical guitar while accessing my higher self. God truly is amazing and he made amazing people!

+iEMoT1ONs Hi! Do you mean in terms of left hand shapes? Using normal chord voicings would generally not sound particularly nice to be honest, but seeing as it's just D minor with lots of 5ths and octaves, barring and placing a second finger on the top E string will give you the major version of said chord? And then you can do every chord from there but it'll all be parallel voicings which isn't particularly nice either. Was this question directed at me or did you accidentally click reply instead of public? Also, it's actually played in C#G#C#G#C#E! As for a while I was accidentally playing it in D minor like you said but at the back of the book Domeniconi says to do it in C# rather than D. Hope this helped!

+David Kelly Classical Guitar Another guy told me that I would have to improvise when playing on DADADF. I love the tuning, it sounds beautiful and unique. But, I have gone through two sets of strings in the last week trying to tune my guitar back up to DADADF and for some reason it is always the G string that snaps when I'm trying to put it up to A. Tuning that high makes me nervous, but the B and E strings have no problem going to D and F. If you could help me on that issue that would be great!! If I should get a Certain brand, gauge or tension...I've been researching on this issue for the past hour; still can't find anything. But, I guess my comments were just a random request for advice haha

But you might need to give us a bit more info if you want me to suggest strings, I'm getting the feeling you're playing on a steel string guitar?

Man personally I think this artist deserves all the encouragement and support in the world. I have a Spanish guitar. I've been playing the thing everyday for years this young woman, totally makes me reconsider the discipline involved in the matter. The fact that she is young talented and gifted all at the same time boggles the mind and lightens my heart. I could give a crap of how the pros or whoever plays the piece. I think she owned it, on effort alone. In my mind it's not always about the original piece or the original artist. The spot light or focus should some times be placed on the volume difficult study I loved the presentation and appreciate the concentration! I pray she never has to read ignorant comments that diminish her artistic efforts just cause some boob thinks he can find a presentation he like better. Then again not every one has the spirit of diplomacy. Let go of what you are used to hearing try listen to what is being presented. In other words same material different artist.

Because, her teacher. Professor Chen Zhi asked Li Jie to imagine a lonely Turkish shepherd. "Motion" in the mountains. 1:18 Professor Chen said, as if you were standing on the top of the mountain, shouting "Are there anyone?" But the only answer is your response. So, in the next section, Li Jie's right hand flicks above the fingerboard, making the sound lighter and softer. 1:34 Note the rhythm here, as if the Turks were singing. They went up and down the mountain, herding sheep and singing songs. The rhythm of playing is the rhythm of Turkish national songs. Therefore, the analysis of Song Chen Zhi's music is very good. Other guitarists did not think clearly, this is one: Turkish music. They did not play from a national feeling. And they didn't consider what "Koyunbaba" means. you can see Lily Afshar, Iranian American classical guitarist play this music better than many famous male guitarist.

Yeah, these are from when she was about 12 or 13... "She began studying the classical guitar at the age of 11 (Chinese age) under Professor Chen Zhi (陳志). One year later, she appeared as a performer on the television program "Classical Guitar's Technique and Performance" of China's official national television station CCTV." This is that Classical Guitar's Technique Performance episode...so about 12 or 13 with only a year of training...she's obviously set everything aside and did virtually nothing but practice for that year...

Well I just saw my comment from 11 years ago. Yes indeed. I have now listened to this rendition thousands of times (it was my alarm music for years and played three times before I had to leave out the door). I've heard dozens of others. I've learned every single note in this like the back of my hand. I've even contributed to the community by improving the tabs available on the net. This remains to this very day my favorite performance of this piece. It's not actually perfect, I can hear it now, but it's super close and I have heard a few that are better in some ways, but I still feel it is one of the most well-rounded versions out there. I just went over the master classes with Carlo and Julia. There are differences in the approach and I can see ways it could be improved slightly even, but it is so good. The rasgueado portion, I think I like Julia's version a tiny bit better, although it is harder for me to replicate because I'm less skilled than either. But LiJie plays all the difficult bits cleaner. I also like her up stroke method for the "explosion", which she uses twice. Brilliant. Julia uses more of Carlos's improvisation tricks, so its value is also in reflecting his style even after his hands no longer cooperate as he wishes. What a privilege to have access to these resources for what I believe is the most entrsncing piece of music I have ever played. This is the *only* piece of music that can play scenes in my head when I close my eyes and just play. Thank you LiJie for introducing this piece to so many of us and thank you to Carlo as well for the mighty and masterful Koyunbaba!

I am a Chinese. I am pround to see such a talented guitarist and such an amazing performance. I hope classical guitar will be widely popularized in China.
She's been teaching at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. Anyone interested in learning classical guitar can go take her classes.
Ahh, blast from the past, when Li Jie and Su Meng where the queens of classical guitar. I remember dropping my jaw to the floor, when I discovered these girls. The Chinese had it going on back then.
The crystal clarity of this execution is unbelievable. Only few masters. have reached such a height. Every single note is perceivable. Every shade in every phrase is perceivable, also in diminuendos and in legatos. This girl is magic. We can call her the little angel of the guitar.

Don't know if it can be played better than this. It's just brilliant.
HOW COULD SHE BE THIS GOOD IS AMAZING
This guitar music is divine. Li Jie can play the guitar like no other. She is definitely one of the greatest in my opinion.

she's the guitar professor of Chinese Central Conservatory of Music now, this guitar video series was made for tutorial by professor Chen Zhi (Li Jie's guitar teacher) few decades ago, which obviously shows her great potentiality. and a child prodigy finally became a master, it's glad to know
This is the best interpretation ever. She understands the spirit of the of the music! She plays effortless just as John Willians does. No external grimace, but internal feelings.

Have you seen the other songs ? Absolutely aamazing
Perfect speed, great tone, great interpretation... Best version on youtube IMO.
I get a feeling of nostalgia as if from a past life when I hear this piece. Absolutely incredible interpretation and composition.
My first week as a freshman in the conservatory of music and heard this from one of my peers. With very little background in classical guitar I instantly fell in love with this masterpiece. A decade or so later, it remains to be my favorite piece.
I cried and balled up my fists in rage! I felt anger, loss, and a deep pang of melancholy sadness! This song resonated with me so much. Her feelings and soul must have connected to mine. She must feel caged up and suppressed by society, the same as me! I felt us connect! I am a guitarist too. I have heard lots of interpretations of guitar music. Some people play with no soul or feeling. This lady had everything there, including her spirit. The most gorgeous playing I have ever heard! I thought I was the only person today playing classical guitar while accessing my higher self. God truly is amazing and he made amazing people!
Ah... to be swept away by that rare piece of music that exists on a completely different plane than the one one we exist on. This is true perfection.
Hypnotic. The most insane display of talent on the internet. I thought Kempff's 3rd movement of Moonlight Sonata was great but this crushes it. No hater could post a video with a fraction of the talent she has.
she is so brilliant!!! that feeling!!! amazing!!!
I can't even say a word when someone plays this piece like this. Man, THAT'S music! In any case, this piece is awesome. I listen this all over again and never be bored.
The most image laden and vivid pieces of music I have ever heard. Perfect balance of technical mastery, restraint in the area of extraneous motion, rubato, a massive palate of dynamics, and an ethereal quality that I cannot place, nor find anywhere else... And that includes the composers performance. Absolute, divine perfection.
Everything is fantastic... but her phrasing... her phrasing pulls all of it together into the most sublime of experiences. Never get tired of listening to this. There's a certain melancholy, weepy quality it makes this interpretation so heartfelt and endearing...
you know, she puts something extra in all her songs that she plays that makes them touching and nostalgic.
By far the best version on KZread and the best version i've ever heard. One of the all time great performances in my opinion.

I recently started experimenting in this tuning. "DADADF." Are there chords for this alternate tuning? Or can I use the same chords that I use in standard tuning?

+iEMoT1ONs Hi! Do you mean in terms of left hand shapes? Using normal chord voicings would generally not sound particularly nice to be honest, but seeing as it's just D minor with lots of 5ths and octaves, barring and placing a second finger on the top E string will give you the major version of said chord? And then you can do every chord from there but it'll all be parallel voicings which isn't particularly nice either. Was this question directed at me or did you accidentally click reply instead of public? Also, it's actually played in C#G#C#G#C#E! As for a while I was accidentally playing it in D minor like you said but at the back of the book Domeniconi says to do it in C# rather than D. Hope this helped!

But, I have gone through two sets of strings in the last week trying to tune my guitar back up to DADADF and for some reason it is always the G string that snaps when I'm trying to put it up to A. Tuning that high makes me nervous, but the B and E strings have no problem going to D and F. If you could help me on that issue that would be great!! If I should get a Certain brand, gauge or tension...I've been researching on this issue for the past hour; still can't find anything.

But you might need to give us a bit more info if you want me to suggest strings, I'm getting the feeling you're playing on a steel string guitar?

its 2024/6/29 and im here yet to hear this masterpiece. a wonderful world it takes me to.
Man personally I think this artist deserves all the encouragement and support in the world. I have a Spanish guitar. I've been playing the thing everyday for years this young woman, totally makes me reconsider the discipline involved in the matter. The fact that she is young talented and gifted all at the same time boggles the mind and lightens my heart. I could give a crap of how the pros or whoever plays the piece. I think she owned it, on effort alone. In my mind it's not always about the original piece or the original artist. The spot light or focus should some times be placed on the volume difficult study I loved the presentation and appreciate the concentration! I pray she never has to read ignorant comments that diminish her artistic efforts just cause some boob thinks he can find a presentation he like better. Then again not every one has the spirit of diplomacy. Let go of what you are used to hearing try listen to what is being presented. In other words same material different artist.

5-05 to 5-55 wow so much feeling, and all through the piece you can hear the train this is such a wonderful interpretation thank you Li Jie you are the best...
I can not imagine someone can play this bit better. Just incredible.
I never truely knew guitar could be played like that. If I heard this w/o seeing her playing, I would 'think' there were at least 2 guitar players...she is a master, even at her young age there (14ish)!
my guitar teacher played this for our class once. mind blowing. its amazing how musical you can make these notes. ive tried learning, it aint happening. :P
I never tire of hearing and seeing LiJie perform this piece
Simply amazing, almost moved me to tears. As a musician i have the utmost appreciation for this young lady.
Wow. Just... wow. I just spent a couple of hours listening to different versions of the piece. And I have to say I haven't found an interpretation that matches this one. Compared to her, all the others I found play it too straight forward and clean for my taste - that is not to say they play it worse, I just felt a lot more listening to her. Especially the dead notes (are they dead notes?) towards the end are amazing. Her dynamics are simply incredible!

Because, her teacher. Professor Chen Zhi asked Li Jie to imagine a lonely Turkish shepherd. "Motion" in the mountains. 1:18 Professor Chen said, as if you were standing on the top of the mountain, shouting "Are there anyone?" But the only answer is your response. So, in the next section, Li Jie's right hand flicks above the fingerboard, making the sound lighter and softer. 1:34 Note the rhythm here, as if the Turks were singing. They went up and down the mountain, herding sheep and singing songs. The rhythm of playing is the rhythm of Turkish national songs. Therefore, the analysis of Song Chen Zhi's music is very good. Other guitarists did not think clearly, this is one: Turkish music. They did not play from a national feeling. And they didn't consider what "Koyunbaba" means. you can see Lily Afshar, Iranian American classical guitarist play this music better than many famous male guitarist.

Yeah, these are from when she was about 12 or 13... "She began studying the classical guitar at the age of 11 (Chinese age) under Professor Chen Zhi (陳志). One year later, she appeared as a performer on the television program "Classical Guitar's Technique and Performance" of China's official national television station CCTV." This is that Classical Guitar's Technique Performance episode...so about 12 or 13 with only a year of training...she's obviously set everything aside and did virtually nothing but practice for that year...

Si la opinión de Michael Levin, John Williams, Alexander Sergei Ramirez, Lachine Suzuki e Irma Costanzo no es suficiente es porque hay mayores maestros en nuestros comentaristas.

2024 and still the best version on the internet. Definitely gonna come back to here in 10 years time
Well I just saw my comment from 11 years ago. Yes indeed. I have now listened to this rendition thousands of times (it was my alarm music for years and played three times before I had to leave out the door). I've heard dozens of others. I've learned every single note in this like the back of my hand. I've even contributed to the community by improving the tabs available on the net. This remains to this very day my favorite performance of this piece. It's not actually perfect, I can hear it now, but it's super close and I have heard a few that are better in some ways, but I still feel it is one of the most well-rounded versions out there. I just went over the master classes with Carlo and Julia. There are differences in the approach and I can see ways it could be improved slightly even, but it is so good. The rasgueado portion, I think I like Julia's version a tiny bit better, although it is harder for me to replicate because I'm less skilled than either. But LiJie plays all the difficult bits cleaner. I also like her up stroke method for the "explosion", which she uses twice. Brilliant. Julia uses more of Carlos's improvisation tricks, so its value is also in reflecting his style even after his hands no longer cooperate as he wishes. What a privilege to have access to these resources for what I believe is the most entrsncing piece of music I have ever played. This is the *only* piece of music that can play scenes in my head when I close my eyes and just play. Thank you LiJie for introducing this piece to so many of us and thank you to Carlo as well for the mighty and masterful Koyunbaba!
I don't think this is classical music, this is something else, something from another world so exquisite, and her performance is just the best of the best.
