While looking online for a Chinese instrument played with a pick (all inspired by today, as it is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and of course, we are Pick Punch) I found the most awesome videos of a girl, Michelle Kwan, playing the guzheng.  The guzheng is a Chinese plucked zither.  A zither is a stringed instrument, which can be played by plucking or with a bow.

Check out this video of Michelle Kwan playing “Sweet Child of Mine”

And, here she is covering Metallica’s “One”

Happy Chinese New Year!
