Today was my 33rd guqin lesson with my teacher John Thompson, since starting lessons with him in March 2012. Starting on a new piece called 鷗鷺忘機 Ou Lu Wang Ji. More info about the story behind this piece can be read on my teacher's webpage.
I've not memorized the piece yet, I'd try to make a video of myself playing in the future, but here's a version on Youtube that I like. I think his beard was so cool! haha
Here's another version, a more emotionally charged one, by Pu Xue Zhai, legendary guqin grand master, and cousin of the last emperor of China, Pu Yi. Enjoy!
This is a super slow version played by Stephen Walker from the USA. It's beautiful. Breathtaking.
