Theo is one of best drummers I've ever seen. He used to jam with my friend Dave in Thousand Oaks. This is like, 1988-1989. He used to do endless solos.
Shamisens are basically sold in Japan. They are tuned three different ways. intervallically1.) root-fourth-fourth. 2.) root-fourth-fifth 3.) root-fifth-forth.
Tradiitonally the shamisen is unbound by any key and is designed to flow swiftly from low to high tunings. However recently the root note of C has been adopted as a standard. The most popular modern tuning then being C-G-C.
yeah, I think it was kind of like a combination of the bottom of the bachi and parts of my hand. thanks for posting! oh by the way did you get a message I wrote you?

How are you picking the strings at the beginning of the song? Are you hitting the neck with the bachi?
