I had instances where people thought I could write songs just because I'm a musician. I've played in several ensembles, but that doesn't mean I'll know how to write a score. I know the basic pop chord progression, but that's the best you're getting out of me.

4:50 original position of the pipa. Pipa is invented in Afghanistan (Gandhara) around b.c. 300's. On the ancient murals, its natural position like a guitar. (horizontal). Vertical position is seen in modern times.
Yes, Pipa was originally played in horizontal position with a piece of wood to pluck strings, not fingers, like what Japanese plays Biwa today. In China nowadays, there is also a Hokkien kind of genre that uses Pipa with fewer frets (like in ancient time) and plays it in horizontal position, however, it's played by fingers, not a piece of wood.
@@hilatchikkakul8980 I think that word of "pipa" came from ancient persian language "barbat" barbat is the persian style of the almond shape lute. Bar-bat =》pi-pa. From wiki: "The barbat (Persian: بربط) or barbud was a lute of Central Asian or Greater Iranian or Persian origin. The barbat was an important instrument of the Ghassanids in pre-Islamic times and of the Syrians in early Islamic times. It was characterized as carved from a single piece of wood, including the neck and a wooden sound board. It would be ancestral to the wood-topped oud, pipa and biwa and the skin-topped Yemeni qanbus." //Also Ancient Turkics, Magyars and Ukrains called this lute as "Kobuz,Kobuza" (like qanbus)
@Mike HAN The area where Afghanistan is located today had Persian-speaking kingdoms that were on the Silk Road running between China and the Roman Empire. The ancestor of the pipa, a stringed instrument similar to Middle Eastern lutes such as the Oud, reached China from this general region of Central Asia.
@@badmashdogesh3939 hahaha what are you talking about? I understand the way she uses words because maybe lack of vocabulary and obviously she's not a native speaker of English. What I mean about "professional performer" is that, "the way she plays that PIPA, the ancient music instrument"
@@badmashdogesh3939 yeah I Know 🙂 I noticed to her performance That she's skilled from 04 - 26 secs of the video. And what I expected to her is true. She is a real professional performer of pipa 🙂
If the oud is the grandfather to the guitar, this is the ancient hero you read in myth standing before you. It's so beautiful and the sound is unlike anything I hear in the west.
Despite the (accidental?) sexual innuendos, I managed to keep a straight face... up until this dude came out the gate with Happy Birthday. 😄 Impressive. 👍🏾
Thank you both for this introduction to the Pipa. But yeah,.. the way Jimmy Hendrix held his guitar was unusual as well. Maybe some creativity in handling an instrument can produce new sounds on a Pipa as well? XTX had some interesting crossover sounds..
whole time watching this I was expecting the dude to already know how to play it and was just pretending not to know for shock factor. too bad.. would have been a very funny reaction from her.
I'm from latinamerca I don't know much about asian faces, but I'm sure she said when I graduated from high schoolso anyway I think you are in high school.
To play it in "like guitar" position better use lute without strap handling. You should put your right leg to left and it will fix body in one position
It's basically pretty easy if you know the basics, as seen. It's always funny when someone hands me an instrument as it usually takes me a few minutes to figure out what's going on with the instrument in general. A handy tune then isn't much work then.
Both of y’all are amazing. I feel every traditional musical instrument needs a new pair of eyes. They’ve been laying around for so many years in the hand of one culture, it’s good to see it blended with new possibilities.
Nice video. I like how the video title says "American" rather than 'foreigner'. Foreigner is completely a relative term and referring to nationality rather than just calling someone 'foreigner' is more respectful from my perspective. I understand it to be a common term many Chinese people use to refer to non-Chinese and I've been referred to a number of times as a foreigner (in the USA where I live..). But ironically, many Chinese people are unduly considered 'foreigners' by others as they have ventured outside of China for economic and social opportunity.
im not shore if i clicked on the video because i like learning new things, specifically things from foreign Asian country's or is it because this girl is cute
When she said "oh your hands are too big" my eyes slipped to the address bar.
"Do you want to try something hardcore"
Good to hear it did

实际上，横着弹琵琶是最古老的方式。因为要在马上弹。不可能竖着弹的。
而且没有用指甲，用的是拨子，日本现在还留着这种拨子。
但在唐朝以后，进入宫廷，就逐渐这种竖着弹了。
Ke Li 不好说，这东西也是当年西域过来的，参考冬不拉
@@yeweix9474 不可能，冬不拉和这个没有联系。不是一个体系的。
@@yeweix9474 你不会只知道新疆的乐器只有一个「冬不拉」吧，冬不拉是两根弦，根本就不是一个体系的。新疆乐器如果和琵琶有关联的，也就是都塔尔。
Ke Li 大哥，谁给你说的冬不拉只是新疆的
Ke Li 敢不敢再往西边点，中东
琵琶从西域传入以前就是男人弹奏的乐器，黑人小哥随便的摆弄，就弹出了西域的味道，真是厉害
琵琶是在中原改进过的，包括二胡，音色有些区别
彈奏樂器不分男女，只是古代不允許女人拋頭露面。
He is so smart! Thanks for your video!

琵琶和吉他（guitar）读音都很像。其实是同一种波斯乐器的分别演化
推手前曰批，引手却曰把，批把
大学时玩琴，和同班的一个弹琵琶的女生也这么交流来着。我横着弹琵琶，她竖着弹吉他......不过乐理好确实上手快，这个没有异议。
琵琶最早就是横着弹的，唐朝的壁画都是这样画的。
但是白居易的“猶抱琵琶半遮面”說明那時候也有豎著彈的。
@@青蛙吃腊肉 乐天是末唐那阵的，壁画多数都是盛唐时期的，是在进宫廷弹奏后慢慢演变了

加油，为你推广中国的乐器，其实是带着中华文化的内涵而感到高兴。中华文化渊源流长而且深厚，一般的说教，外族人很难理解，但通过这些侧面的浸润，则容易被他们理解并接受。丫头加油！
琵琶最早确实是横着弹的。壁画上什么时候见过竖着抱琵琶的。这种竖着弹应该是给女孩专门发明的。
@@tansh8166 最关键是坐姿问题。想想琵琶横着放要怎么坐？女孩那个姿势太不雅了。
This just shows two different styles... learning to play for others and learning to play for yourself and then for others 😄

Pipa can imitate all string instruments in all cultures. One Chinese expert did that in video on youtube.

琵琶起源於歐洲的魯特琴 (Lute) ，魯特琴後來演變為 Viola, 吉他等樂器，把琵琶當吉他彈也可以，但琵琶共鳴不大好，無法像吉他有渾厚的聲音。

他这双大手非常适合弹琵琶啊！！！不考虑买一个吗？
彈吉他不好嗎？而且琵琶的音色變化不大
@@kazeyomi4131 不一样的，吉他的音色趋近于人声。很容易就被其他乐器盖过去了，哪怕钢弦，也是在这个范围内，所以电吉他用效果器去改变声音特色来演奏。
世界上吉他协奏曲非常少。因为能写的好很难。著名的阿兰胡埃斯协奏曲，就这一首是吉他曲的高峰。
你只是看到了「独奏」却没有看到合奏。你说琵琶「音色变化不大」，但琵琶的发音方式，正适合合奏，乐队可以使用。
但吉他不行。
其次，我建议你看看琵琶的制作工程。琵琶现在的造型以及选择四根弦，而不是古代的五根弦是有道理的。它就是古代，哪怕近代卖唱的主力军。重，容易在马背、船舶这些地方演奏，受干扰性极低。
但吉他增加了音色以及共鸣效果，在相对安静的地方演奏是很好的，但在一些嘈杂的环境却不行。但这确实琵琶的优势。
@@kazeyomi4131 呵呵，你还是带着骨子里的偏见而已。
我还是请你了解一下琵琶。好像琵琶「不能」敲击似的……古代琵琶有一个外号叫「马上所鼓也」，而且琵琶有许多独特的演奏技巧，而你所述的「演奏技巧」不比吉他少。一个千年流传的乐器，如果没点能耐，还能留到现在？
琵琶背部非常厚，所以在视频里，反复告诉黑人小哥，琵琶很重。
琵琶普遍用檀木、黄花梨这样的硬木掏空制成，普通的吉他，重量有三个吉他那么重。说敲击？琵琶能真的当鼓敲，吉他呢？
吉他的优势，就是声音接近人声，演奏让人感觉像说话一样让人舒服，你再改变声音，也无法绕过这块的优势。而琵琶的声音则是尖锐，这是它的劣势，也是优势。
而且你不用给我说吉他的优势，我手边就有一把Takamine的吉他，晶体管拾音器，13500人民币买的。敲多了我自己都心疼。
琵琶这个乐器是西域传入中国的，而且最开始其实就是横斜拿的。。这个小哥大概就是有音乐的灵魂吧，总觉得看他横着拿和尝试和弦是要感觉原本属于琵琶的味道
