Heathens by twenty one pilots played on guzheng

[21strings]

Here is an arrangement of Heathens that I recently put together for guzheng, accompanied by super close-up video of my zheng.  Hope you enjoy!

Another great arrangement/performance - also enjoyed the close-ups of the hands/guzheng -- nice addition to the video. Thanks for sharing.

If you're ever looking for a new project to do, there's an erhu song from western China called Lan Hua Hua (girl's name, Blue Flower)-- I learned this song back about 10 years ago, and it is simply beautiful and may be adapted to guzheng. It has slow passages and fast ones, and many sections where there are changes in the key -- it is also fairly long in duration. Let me know if you're interested-- if you can't find a guzheng score, I'd be willing to dig up my erhu score and email it to you.

Here's what the song sounds like (yes, I know that's a yangqin and not a guzheng accompanying the erhu):


Lan Hua Hau

Hello Paul, as always many thanks for the thoughtful feedback. I LOVE the song you linked and will definitely add it to my list of songs to adapt. So many projects on the go right now...

Take care
