@@anantkerur557 around 4:55!
Thanks!
this is me when I tried to play my friend's harp when ima violinist lol
Me when I tried to learn guitar.
Brett: has the technique
Eddie: has the memory
And with their powers combined, they still had no idea
Lol you had me on the floor
I am laughing way too hard hahahahaha
LMAOOOOOO
they combine the worst of both worlds.. hahaha
I’m died laughing. :))))
"You better. You, no"
Damn that's a chinese teacher if i've ever seen one
singaporean or malaysian actually
shxtney lol singaporean here(I don’t speak too much Singlish though,I’m a student)
Her English is really impressive though!
_ MyM4 _ english is actually our first language in singapore haha
_ MyM4 _ we just have a really heavy accent and occasionally throw in some slang we call singlish
“You better. You, no.”
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Damn. Even I felt that burn.
Lol
Lol I felt attacked .... And I'm not even there omg edit: YAS Singaporean here!
I guess this really is a roasting channel 😂
I bet she has a beating stick off camera.
I could recognise her Singaporean accent immediately. Knew a burn was gonna happen very soon haha (we Singaporeans don't show mercy)

That's trueeeeeee
I can feel the pain

Brett's got the technique, Eddy's got the memory to remember the melody, and together, they make... THE AVERAGE OKEY STUDENT OF GUZHENG
This being their first time makes it impressive as fuck.
YES
Ling ling already master it
@@KRLS-Anknown It's not their first time playing an instrument though. Hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, sense of rhythm and understanding of music are transferable to certain extent, so people with musical background always have a head start when learning new instruments.
@@tiihtu2507 I'd say learning from scratch and learning another instrument are difficult in different ways. Trying to relearn and overwrite your habits and muscle memory is harder imo. Knew a guy that switched to cello and it took him a couple of years to stop using his violin techniques completely. I also tried playing a bit for fun and it just felt so strange and foreign. It's hard to ignore how wrong it felt to me. When you first start learning, it feels awkward and clumsy but that goes away with practice. With trying another instrument, your body can (not everyone ofc) physically reject the playing style and methods, especially on a similar instrument. If I had to say, it's like trying to play with your less dominant hand. It's difficult.
"sit properly."
said like a true singaporean teacher XD
So shocked when I heard her sg accent
@zm me too!
Would help if the chair and instrument were at the correct height for their stature. ;-)
I think she is either SGean or Malaysian Chinese from her accent.
+1 for sg/my teacher
"Sit properly."
Damn did she sound like my mother lol
She sounds like my teacher when someone rests their head on the table
DUDE THAT IS FREAKING TRUEE LMAO
Lol my mom to
She is my teacher
I am serious she teach in agps school
Funniest thing is that the instructors name is indra (indra is the God of lightning and storms) and the lesson is about typhoone
Oh yea, I thought it was quite rare for a Chinese girl to have a Sanskrit name but that's awesome too. Powerful song for powerful names!
Many indonesians named indra, usually boys though. I thought she is indonesian when i see her name and her accent...
@@nekoyon89 I think she is from Singapore, and it makes sense that there are both Chinese ethnicities group and Indonesian ethnicities group in Singapore. Maybe she has both Chinese AND Indonesian culture background.
@@lillian8033 There are actually all kind of asians in singapore.. especially chinese and south asians (indian) ,.....(well,... all of southeast asia actually has many different asian citizens unlike in east asia...) , worldwide the most chinese ethnics OUTside of china/taiwan Live in Thailand (a lot of thai-chinese there mainly have thai names ,so people dont know because of that, if they are chinese, thai or thai-chinese mixed. Now people would say, you can see it on the appeareance but that isnt always a indicate if someone is east asian or not, since some thai vietnamese lao and other southeast asians can look east asian too ,but with mainly browner skin. On the other hand ,there are also 100% ethnic chinese who dont look any different from southeast asians ,especially southern chinese. My family is also Thai & south chinese ,so i know that it can go both ways.)
...anyhow. Most countries in southeast asia are to some extent indian influenced besides chinese influence, she could be from anywhere , OR her parents just liked the name. I am Thai & Chinese and my first name is not even asian.
@@mxd-1990asn it is not that complicated. A lot of chinese Singaporean parents likes any name and will choose them for their kids. I seen amazing spelling variation of names like felicia and ryan.

my mom is a professional guzheng player and I know that eddy and brett playing this piece in 1 hr is something very hard to do for beginners. Nice job
I spend like 2 weeks learning, probably more than a month if you count learning all the basic movements, so it is pretty impressive
and it took a year to make it instinct so-
Can you please upload your mom playing gu zheng. Im a beginner and there's a few vids of guzheng players out there and teaches this instrument particularly. Its kinda underrated but the sound is heavenly.

Flying picks are the guzheng equivalent of falling shoulder rests.
Except it's more dangerous for people around you... 😅
Nope not really ahah it either means your sweat glands at your fingers are really active or you have just played too hard until you rip the tape away from your finger (it could also be the quality of the tape that holds the nail)

Yes!
We learn opera for hours
Honestly I think they'd do ok! I went from playing flute to singing, and I think the aural skills you learn from another instrument cover like 65% of the battle. Tone/healthy vocal posture is a different story though 😂
Opera please!!
Eddie: has perfect pitch
Quarter tones: im about to end this whole mans career
One with perfect pitch can tell quarter tones as well
@@ttttg5302 No, not necessarily. It’s a gradient. There’s a specificity of recognition that varies by person. Perfect pitch isn’t defined as recognizing all pitches to any degree. Could they recognize an eighth tone? Sixteenth? The average person with perfect pitch probably couldn’t work with quarter notes unless somewhat trained, they’d just recognize it as an out-of-tune key most likely and not recognize its relation to the notes above and below.
@@thomasharris1090
But if a sound is perfectly between G and G sharp, they will say it's between G and G sharp, if it's not perfectly in the middle but it's a sharp G they will hear it's a sharp G, so it's not like they won't be able to tell what it is at all

To a guzheng player (me), not really. I think it sounds pretty bad. Probably becuz they are learning without knowing the basics
@LinhSong 12
I understand what you mean. But you have to recognize that they did quite well, considering they only had one hour to learn it !
I think that for us, non-guzheng-players, we don't really pay attention to the melody or the technique, we just enjoy the sound of the instrument because we're not used to it. We're like America's Got Talent's jury when they listen to violin playing... 😅
Agreed. But it takes time to practice.
Imagine how ling ling must be playing then
I like how chinese use the "do,re,mi, fa, sol, la, si" scale instead of the the alphabet. Finally :)
They use numbers actually. The instructor used do re me because she is from Singapore, where we are used to cultural mixing and most young learners know do re me first.
@@huaiwei didn't know that. Thanks.
Huai Wei Edmund Teo 😂 I’m pretty sure Chinese use do re mi too
@@huaiwei In Chinese music the numbers are used to denote the notes, but when read out, they are "do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si". Basically 1="do", 2="re", 3="mi" and so on. When I learned clarinet my teacher often said in alphabets instead.
@@cindyliu2445 that's in Singapore right?
Brett is that kid in my class who does everything better than anyone
... but who eventually fails the test ! 😅
@@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia he failed 'cause he couldn't memorise it :P
He just learns quickly, which is something I heavily relate to.
The learning curve is different for most people, people like me and Brett tend to drop off after a point and have to work harder later on, while most people struggle at the start and get better as they go.
Second UNIT Same! Everyone thinks you got in and you’re sitting there 10 minutes later wondering where the knowledge went...
When the video first started, I thought surely he's gonna be way better than eddy. But nah, like someone else said, I guess Brett is that kid in class with perfect grades but fails the test, while eddy is the kid who sleeps in class yet somehow aces the test.
Next in the series: Learn French horn in an hour with Keith from the Try Guys
I will play to see that
Yesssss, and have twoset teach the try guys how to play violin: “the try guys try to learn how to play violin in an hour”
YESS
lord voldemort what would you play tho?
yes.
I thought those were kotos at first! Kotos are Japanese, but they are nearly identical. Apparently the only major difference is the string material, with the Guzheng using metal strings while the koto uses silk, or a certain kind of plastic strings. Almost everything else, from the string length to the tuning method is the same, and the playing method seem to be the same as well, to the point where a Koto player could easily play a Guzheng and vice versa. The information I did find on the koto did say that it originated in China, so it seems to me like the Koto was a decendent of the Guzheng.
Ohhhh i thought it was koto too lol i was gonna ask it in the comments but i see yours, thankss haha
Rainier Arts it could also be mistaken for the Korean one too , it’s called Gayageum (가야금)
My understanding is that the guzheng was originally Chinese and the Vietnamese (dan tranh), Japanese (koto) and Korean (kayageum) ones are descendants of it.
The tunings/scales are a bit different, and playing techniques are also different because of the different types of finger picks.
As for tuning method, I've been told that you need trained masters to tune a koto because it's apparently complicated. Whereas with the guzheng and dan tranh you can do it yourself.
The kanji (chinese character) of koto is literally 箏, which is pronounced "zheng" in mandarin chinese. "Gu" means ancient/old. So yeah, koto is a decendent of the Guzheng.
Im a Guzheng player and no, koto is very different. While yes they are both zithers, koto has a completely different playing style, number of strings, and even the shape of the instrument is different. The most major thing is the Chinese music scale vs the Japanese music scale, which contain completely different notes. While yes, i would be able to pluck strings properly, even the finger picks are different in shape and i would still need a long time to learn, as it is intrinsically a different instrument altogether

Also Brett:

I use to be in Guzheng Ensem back in secondary school and we call those picks as nails (like fingernails). It's funny to see the reactions of other people everytime after a performance whenever we go, "okay guys you can take out your nails" and you see everyone swirl around with looks of concern.
Throwback to one time we were performing in a mall on the top level. That's the one chance you see a line of people wearing traditional chinese costumes and carrying one guzheng in hand with two stand in the other, slowly making their way up thru escalators.
There is something sadistically satisfying watching two talented pros being total beginners in something else
Even if they play this badly or wrong, it's nearly impossible for this instrument to sound bad. I'd also love to see you try to play the tin whistle or flute so you could practice breath control
It is a stunning beautiful instrument, I have one and the sound is just fantastic (especially the reverb and resonance of it in real life which is hard to capture on video), but it probably helps it’s a pentatonic instrument so you can play basically any strings in any order and it’ll sound good.

As a former guzheng player in secondary sch and having performed 战台风, this is very very relatable hahaha
here’s some tips:
1. to fix your ‘bad posture’, sit straight occupying 1/3 of the chair. you won’t be able to relax so you definitely won’t slouch or extend your feet (lol)
2. when your left hand is not in use, rest it on the un-pitched strings; you’ll be able to press it immediately for fa/ti
3. to prevent the ‘zzzt’ noise heard btwn notes (due to the pick), make sure your next pick movement is firm and swift like the coursing river 💪🏻 don’t hesitate. if you do, the ‘zzzt’ will be very obvious.
4. DONT WORRY ABOUT PICKS FLYING OFF OR YOUR HANDS GETTING STUCK IN THE STRINGS IT HAPPENS ALLLL THE TIME. happened to my friends, once, her pick flew out of the practice room. ikr.
5. WHAT SI THIS UNREALISTIC PRACTICE WE PRACTICE WITH THE MUSIC SCORE WHATISTHIS WHY IS THIS THR NO SHEET THR AINT EVEN THE 1235 STRIP AT THE SIDE ASDHSJSJD no wonder brett couldnt remember lmao
Also here’s a full vid of 战台风 at normal speed: ruclips.net/video/ORH7wi1tAbY/видео.html
EDIT: asfddjsk I JUST REALISED HER SURNAME IS CHEN NOWONDER SHE LOOK SO FAMILIAR 陈老师 js that u???
The posture one is what we did for flute too
I would love to see a funny video exaggerating things that happen during practice (such as picks flying off). Or like a ‘Just Guzheng Player things’ Video or something.
I firstly though that the "bad posture" thing is only because they are tall...
I love the advice here it’s great lol, but I couldn’t focus after the Mulan reference😂
Good tips, especially about the posture. I'm a real slouch!
I stick on the picks real tight, so have never had them fly off. They do get stuck in the strings on occasion though, especially the left hand ones!
i want someone to look at me the same way eddy looks at brett when he’s playing at 9:51
Yeah Brett and Eddy are the ultimate friendship/bromance
....ahem.....
I know the focus is on brett and eddy but i wish they showed more of her playing i really enjoyed watching the little clips of her in between
I instantly knew that the teacher's from Singapore just by listening to her accent!
Yes
Me too! It's either a Singaporean or a Malaysian.
They're using their stay in Singapore well. 😊
.
When she says 'la' yu know shes used to it
(No offence Singaporeans)
YES
she looks like brett is her child and she's teaching her 7 yearold child to play the guzheng
3:24 When she fixes his posture LMAO
The lady: typhoon. The boys: earthquake.
Such stubborn legs, Brett lol.
4:24 Eddy sitting elegantly
Btw, the teacher looks genuinely impressed
Imagine if she had a ruler to slap their hands with
And their feet. Lol
I really wanna learn this too
where likes
and learnt it you did
As a Guzheng and piano player, I struggle with the pitch like eddy😂 It’s hard to switch back and forth.
I'm a pianist and violinist. I can switch between fixed do and moveable do just fine.
@@PassionPno eh you don't know how the Chinese keys work, it's more confusing than you think, not just a problem of moving around.
@@崔莱 Pentatonic scales.
omg same
Stephanie K ok boomer
1:47 "You, better. You, no." LMAO I'm dying
"you better, you no"
When my mom heard my friend got into college and my mom when I didn't get accepted to UC Berkeley or Stanford. Aaahhh the loving bluntness.
4:55 “The panic of a violinist faced with more than 4 strings at once”
Noice
When eddy tries he can actually do pretty good stuff
Everytime they stuck their legs out or slouched I kinda wanted the teacher to cane them LOL
something about eddy's playing was so relaxing to just listen to
Me: Sees title.
Also me: Plays Guzheng
Me: SMELLS LIKE BSSS
YESSSSS
AHAHA yes
Sensei is so cute when she smiles at them
You mean "Lao Shi"
It was soooo good. I admire you guys how fast you learn instruments. Next time please try the Japanese KOTO 琴！
R u a fellow koto player?
Cause general theory is the same so adapting wont be too hard :D.
Or shamisen!🌸❤
Vien Danille Husana my koto teacher actually wants me to learn shamisen too lol. Tbh, I think it’s because they don’t want to play the shamisen during an ensemble practice...
But, the one benefit of a shamisen.....
You can carry it around aka
C o s p l a y s
Cause you can’t lug around a koto like a guitar :(
Impressive how they are already handling a grade 7-9 song (战台风/Battle against the tornado) for the first time. They are awesome 👍🏻
I want to see Eddie and Brett learning guitar in one hour. Electric guitar.
Other videos: “trying to learn ____ in 1 hour”
This: “we learnt guzheng in 1 hour”
*characher development +100*
11:41 "are you two even asian" hahahah
That girl/woman isn't putting up with any nonsense!
You can see her side-eye them like 'who are these fools!?' but also having fun. Great video!
I could tell she was Singaporean when she opened her mouth
Our accent and speech patterns are just so distinctive xD
Kern lol so true!
Right? Its just so easy to tell
lah
SAME
You guys should teach someone how to play the Violin in an hour!!!
Like if you want to see this
Yeah totally omg
Can I be that person lol
