Video 9 Just noodling around on Silk Strings Guqin

[NOTE: Please use ear phones to listen to the sounds of this video recording if you really wish to hear what silk strings on Guqin really sound like. Most puny speakers on notebook computers are unable to play the low bass sounds of the Guqin. Thank you.]

No particular tune. Just noodling around on my silk strings Guqin. Yes, many Guqin tunes tend to sound alike, because most of the Guqin songs are constructed from similar sounding riffs.

This is not a musical performance. It's just a video record of my lived experiences of enjoyment playing on my silk strings Guqin, and not hearing any metallic sounds at all. Aural fatigue sets in quickly for players who use metal strings on Guqin because the metallic "twang" noises sound very jarring after a while. That's probably why some metal strings Guqin learners quit the Guqin and wish to sell their Guqin away. They should probably first try changing their metal strings on their Guqin to silk strings.
