Yes, it's my most niche thread ever!

Just wanted to share some corking pop covers done by youtuber Luna Lee on this unusual exotic plucking instrument *

The Cure - A Forest
Jimi Hendrix - Stone Free
Steppenwolf - Born To Be Wild
Derek And The Dominos - Layla

yeah she did a version of Voodoo Chile (I felt it lacked the required oomph) a few years back and then rerecorded recently and it was cracking. Would still like her to play it with a real drummer though rather than a programmed pattern. The sound of the Gayageum is used on the high speed train here in South Korea to indicate an approaching stop. So part of me always thinks of that when I hear it.

Voodoo Chile, the intro of which should replace the insipid riff on the KTX trains

Really like that Voodoo Chile. Big fan of how utterly impassive her face is throughout all of these and all.
