How cool is this Jimi Hendrix 'Voodoo Child' cover done with a traditional Korean instrument?
Luna Lee likes to do covers of classic rock 'n' roll and we have to say this is pretty amazing!
The gayageum or kayagum is a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument with 12 strings, though some more recent variants have 21 or other numbers of strings. It is probably the best known traditional Korean musical instrument.
