Took my Sanxian down to a nearby park and jammed not far from some picnic groups. Threw out a hat, but didn't make any money. It was fun, though, and I learned some ideas to make it better

I'm probably the only European-American in Arizona who plays Sanxian

Pretty sure I'm the only person in the world who plays Bass, Sanxian and Guqin (and sorta Native American Flute)

Pretty sure I'm the only one who plays the Sanxian upside down

Certain amusing Irony that I tend to play my small sanxian as a "play around the apartment" because it's small and light ut it's also the hardest to play because of the string spacing. I'm best on bass but my 6-string bass is heavy as fuck and my big sanxian is so big it's unwieldy. So I play my 'practice sanxian' the most

Related to my last post post, I was listening to modern Shamisen , which I dearly love but I won't mention who because I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging that I am better than him. I was listening and I thought “he’s incredibly fast” and then I realized “his bachi is incredibly fast, but my left hand Sanxian is just as fast”. They are just different techniques. With a Shamisen, you hit every note with the bachi, on my Sanxian I’m playing with finger picks...

#Shamisen #Sanxian #musican

I'm realizing one weak spot in my Sanxian technique is my tremolo. I've always been very conservative of my right-hand energy, and my melodic style does not involve repeating quick notes so I entail quick pulls offs and hammer ons but bit my much vibrato and very little tremolo. My melodic style is more...I don't know how to say it, but I'm moving around much more than that. but watching sanxian masters, those techniques are much more how they play....#Sanxian #Tremolo #vibrato #三弦 #musician

Excited

I used some violin rosin to stiffen the tuning mechanism of my Guqin and it's now playable

I got some metal finger picks and i can now play my sanxian every bit as expressive and fast as I play bass guitar, and with volume #sanxian #guqin #三弦 #古琴 #guqin #Musician

Yesterday was "bass" day

Today is "sanxian day"

Just home from a Purple Bamboo performance. Didn't mention it because I wasn't sure if I'd be there. The Center for East Asian Studies of UofA had a presentation today and we played a handful of songs. Lot of fun; probably the most relaxed I've played yet

Heh heh, I was at Shen Yun last night (great show, by the way...strongly recommend) and they have one ethnic dance routine with dancers with (mock) SanXian and Hulusi. After the show, I bugged the conductor "you have a routine about SanXian but none in your orchestra". He countered "maybe we'll hire you"

Was a fun moment #ShenYun #Sanxian

冯少先/黑龙江省歌舞剧院民族乐团-"黑土歌" (Song Of the Black Earth"

I'm not sure if anyone else will appreciate this but I found it a fascinating example of traditional Sanxian technique and style

Can’t sleep at 2:30 am so enjoying some Miso Soup and playing my Sanxian

Ergh, been reading bass clef all week learning metal tunes for an audition so took a break with my sanxian and was reading treble clef as bass clef from habit and wondering why everything sounded off

An instrumental pieces I've been working on for a while; some old ideas finally recorded and expanded on. Multiple bass and Sanxian tracks and some others

Sorta still in progress

“Chinese Footprints” (Wayne Shorter)

A classic jazz tune with a modern, up-tempo beat and some Chinese textures and instruments

I might re-track the solos but this is about as good as I can do for now and I'm happy with where I'm going

Got my mic setup so I can record my Sanxian, working on two projects (a rendition of a jazz tune and an original composition)

Going well, very fun...expect something to listen to soon

Thursday's rehearsal with "Purple Bamboo" was my first with the Sanxian. It was quite a challenge in ways I never expected. Playing with an ensemble on a instrument with variable tuning was part of it but I had also learned the songs differently from everybody else. Between those two, I was constantly struggling to find my place

Was still a lot of fun and I learned a lot
