Mozart Symphony no.25 on Japanese Shamisen

[grantwoolard]

Awesome. I want the entire movement!

[thegurfgirls3]

Good job!! :)

[Creepo85]

This is delightful!

[ashokofindia]

even mozart will be hypnotyzed by ur ur performance sire. we want ur some more classic melodies as well as ur  own creative concords.

[gregorthebigmac]

MOAR!!!

[lello2445]

man u rock this is great .what is the name of this instrument?

[shamisendemon]

@lello2445 shamisen.

[shamisendemon]

Shamisen is usually tuned in three different ways... root-fourth-root. root-fifth-root, or root-fourth-fourth. The actual notes of the strings can be adjusted to various keys! D-A-D is common but C-G-C is a little more standard.

[sasha2007kaz]

What tuning you use, D-A-D? Thanks.

[StewieSwan]

Mozart san

[phitennut]

i wanted to hear the rest so bad, Kevin, you are are freakin' tease!!

[hatecrewsix2]

[ltownrocker133]

Whats the robe thing your wearing called? ive wanted one for quite some time now

[TheSleepyGene]

@ltownrocker133 its either a gi, or some type of samuri robe.

[hanfan26]

That was so cool!!

[panthercat38]

HOLY SHIT

[santosh9850]

Very .very..very good...

[SargentandGreenLeaf]

this instrument sounds bad, compared to a guitar, the clicking is pretty bad, and not very good tone

[irethamandil]

@SargentandGreenLeaf It's a style and what makes the instrument unique. Unfortunately it doesn't sound the best with very fast-paced music (IMO) but I believe this piece suited it nicely.

Perhaps next time you comment with something negative, read up on the object and stop trying to turn this into a debate. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a discussion board.

[phitennut]

@SargentandGreenLeaf

You obviously have no clue about the traditional sound of the Shamisen....not attacking you though, most don't. this is not just a string instrument but a percussion instrument as well.

[shamisendemon]

Wow. strange comments lately. yikes!

[jbraith1]

Sir, will you be the father of my child?

[HEDSHOT]

i would love to hav this guy chilling in my attic!

[HEDSHOT]

do the whole song!

[momotarodesu]

Agreed. Love Mozart!

[gdbalck]

I bow to your sir!

And what could anyone add about Mozart? His music was a gift to humanity from God.

[patrickjohn84]

FLAWLESS VICTORY!

[drogato6]

[fogboys03]

[lowerlowerhk]

surprisingly it's cool!

[xc743]

Wow! That's so amazing !

And I though playing the string bass was hard because it didn't have frets like a guitar.

But this is really cool! I want to learn now.

[Shadowbunnyjedi]

pretty awesome lol kinda sounded a little eerie XD

[himejijojoshu]

I don`t know about shoes but what about behind the head?

[atfatw]

thats clever can he play the song on his shoes?

[sanalaha]

It combines the aspect of both western and eastern music, perfect! An epic video!

[broadside99]

that was so cool

[xRawrxGuitarx]

This is epic xd

[AmadeusMozart99]

Nice! But some of thee notes were out ov pitch!

[alexrempel12390]

It's fretless..lol. Come on.

[karamazovnew]

So are the all the string instruments in an orchestra. But still, epic.

[alexrempel12390]

Yeah. So obviously notes might land off pictch..

[MelodicWade]

thats wiked

[Stratoblaster01]

I think that riff was lifted from the Scorpions 1976 Tokyo concert---sure as hell sounds like Ulrich Roth to me!

[Stratoblaster01]

Dude, how do you get such a great sound without a stack of Marshall's?

[tokiniwahahano]

I love it!!

[Kyousuke687]

[conskript]

Wow, that was incredible!

[demonpuppy1]

too short. can we have a longer version, please.

[cosmicarainia]

more players! yes!

[shamisendemon]

yeah I agree.

[kimiyoshiruyaminami]

So, who are they gonna be?

[Hikikomori013]

Monsters of Shamisen, of course.

I also think more instruments would help the tone on this piece.

[kimiyoshiruyaminami]

I agree. He plays in a group. I saw it. they should do this with full sound.

[kimiyoshiruyaminami]

This kind of music needs more players.

[momotarodesu]

one of the best of shamisen players!

[DrWhiggs]

Guy looks like Tiny Tim with a better tan.

[hirofan]

Thanks, DrWhiggs.. now I'll be watching Tiny Tim videos for the next hour.. a wonderful artist to be compared to imo..

[DrWhiggs]

Question: Have you ever played the game Samurai Shodown 2, and if so, do you think you could recreate the shamisen part of Kyoshiro's stage music?

[jsmfyneartz]

Pretty damn incredible! A great symphony married to an amazing instrument. I agree that the whole piece would have been even more amazing.

[hoopsmaster13]

love the facial expression!

[Markohoppis]

It's John Lennon.

[momotarodesu]

Sweet!

[psychobugler]

This just made my day and my day was already going very well. You just made it that much better.

[yokok1910]

モーツァルトはやっぱり天才でしたね。今世紀に生まれたら三味線­の曲をつくるかなあ。かもね。いや、きっとつくると思う。１００­年前の三味線弾きたちは誰もケヴィンに象徴されるような三味線の­あり方を想像する事はできなかった。２００８年の私たちも、１０­０年後の世界音楽のありようは分からない。

[VirtualDeath]

Great tone!
