The instrument she's playing is the gayageum or kayagum - pronounced "Gah Yah Guhm" - a centuries-old traditional instrument with 12 strings.

Check out her YouTube channel for more cool covers, including tracks from Steve Vai, Stevie Ray Vaughan and um… Craig David.

And if you happen to have nine and a half minutes on your hands… here's the great man himself, live at Berkeley in 1970 - 43 years old and still capable of giving you goosebumps.
