Pipa Book

[caidanbi]

I'm not sure if anyone else will be interested in this or not, but I just ordered a pipa book from YesAsia.com, it's for beginners. It's in Chinese, and I have no idea how good it is, but it's the only one I've been able to find so far. Here's the link:

Has anyone seen this book in person? If so, what did you think of it? I'm just curious ^-^

it should be ok i guess. since wu qiong is one of the examiners in the NAFA chinese instrumental examinations.

Hey, whats included in the book? Is it just tablature, or do they show techniques and junk like that?

I'd like to get a songbook, because while learning techs will help you get there...it's rather boring at times.

It shows how to read music and tells about some techniques. It also has songs for you to learn. It also comes with a CD, which I haven't had the chance to check out yet, but I think it might correspond to the lessons...
