This Unconventional Cover Of A Guns N' Roses Song Is Beyond Awesome

A Guns N' Roses Cover Like You've Never Seen Before

Vancouver musician Michelle Kwan rocks out with this most holy of covers, showing that nothing is more rock 'n' roll than an ancient Chinese string instrument.

You may not have guessed that a guzheng would so delicately capture the essence of Guns N' Roses' harmonious hit "Sweet Child O' Mine." In fact, you might not even know what a guzheng is.

For those of you who don't know, a guzheng is a Chinese plucked zither, related to the Japanese koto, the Mongolian yatga, the Korean gayageum and the Vietnamese đàn tranh. If you don't know what those are either, you'll have to watch the video above to find out.

Enjoy the teenage musician's unlikely hard rock ode and be warned: things get really intense around 2:37.
