[matrim41]

Now you just need to do All Along the Watchtower!

[shamisendemon]

WHAT??????? That is so SPOOOOKY! I am holding in my hand at this very moment a camera and usb cable and was just a few minutes away from uploading my version of All Along the Watchtower with me and a harp player from Scotland! Somehow I figured I would check my mail before doing so and lo and behold this comment of yours appears. This is really really weird! Some kind of psychic connection or mere coincidence?????

[matrim41]

Oh, wow, I don't know what to think except that I want to see this harp cover!

[shamisendemon]

Just finished the upload! Hope you like it!

It was filmed during an extremely spontaneous jam session so dont expect anything that sounds polished or rehearsed etc, but hope you like it nonetheless!

[pureintellectual]

@shamisendemon it's a sign! you must upload yourself playing All Along The Watchtower on shamisen or you will be curssssssed

[shamikami]

@pureintellectual Haha. yeah the Shamisen version of All along the watchtower has been posted up here on youtube (Shamisen and Harp). check it out it`s right there! (to the right)

[dude4871]

i think hendrix would have loved you in his band

[zeropsycho]

don't say shit man, it's nice, but Jimi it's much better

[gargoloso]

@zeropsycho wanna see jimi playing on this instrument hello!!! no frets and only three strings! you can't compare that way.

[zeropsycho]

when he was alive he played several instruments without frets and with few strings (eg guitars with strings and no frets burst [because he sent out] cheap without frets [are common] and cellos ...

... said it's not bad, just said I can not compare ...

[22112123]

man if i only knew you. i would just watch you for hours O.O

[Max0Inq]

I'm supriesed how good this song sounds with eastern sound.

[koropiikot]

ロックなんだけど三味線的なフレーズ、、三味線なんだけど本格的­ロック。まぶしい。

[mikepenny01]

I forgot to ask you the last time we spoke, what is the zip code of Mendocino proper? Also, how about Corpus Christie? Open up to a heated list and you'll include yourself 4 more times than Dan, and...and Freddie, and Ronny, and Samuel.

Great video!
