July 14, 20223 yr For all you musicians out there, here's something worth checking out. This is an instrumental cover version of AC/DC's Thunderstruck, played on the Chinese Guzheng, which is a tradition type of zither. Fans of AC/DC and in particular guitarists, will know that this riff is a favourite to learn and practice because it requires a lot of precise plectrum playing to time this with the fretting. You can make playing that riff a bit easier by using hammer-ons and pull-offs to strike the notes, but that of course isn't an option for this player on the Guzheng, nor does she have Stevie Young, Phil Rudd and Cliff Williams providing the solid backing that allows Angus Young to let rip like he does. If you watch a performance of Young playing this tune, you'll notice he doesn't go the easy route and use hammer-ons and pull-offs, but instead plucks nearly all the notes with a plectrum, which as most guitarists will know, does require very good technique particularly on the cascading waterfall-esque second half of Thunderstruck's guitar riff, which when you know that, makes this lady's performance all the more impressive when you consider she's also replicating the vocal melody too. To be fair, it does look like some of the percussion might be overdubbed, it's hard to tell, but even if it is, this is still some really talented musicianship which will leave you Thunderstruck: Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
July 14, 20223 yr That is simply amazing! As an early teen I tried to play the ukulele. The effort lasted about a week. Regards, Claude Franklin

By the way, what's up with that facial apparatus. It's weird looking. 🙄 Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
