Shadowy Key

[mumuserabi]

This is an enigmatic piece by Nakagawa, others of his can verge on emotive but the enigmatic draws me in as it is hard to categorize this sound, I could listen to it every day without getting bored, so unique.

[HipiRanger]

this is a castlevania song xD

[gpgaal]

Awesome.

[BAIXISTASCHOLES]

3 peoples idiots

[3245james]

It actually sounds better here than on the CD.

If anyone was wondering its from an album called あいらんど that was released in 1986.

[mumuserabi]

@3245james あいらんど Airando as in island just to expand on your initial comment! I actually found this tab book in Osaka, only knew this song from the album, His tab books are available from a Kyoto stockist apprently.

[HerbalNinja024]

This song is so efin RAD!!! Thank god for people who dont suck

[panelacosmica]

Found this half an hour ago, i've listened to it like 10 times...

[jdimmler]

Another great song by a GREAT man:)

[rikoriko123]

涙が出てくる…この曲を弾けるようになりたくて毎日練習してた。­譜面が手に入ったときも滅茶苦茶嬉しかったのを思い出すよ。

[13thManOfHonor]

To feel the music, to live in it - it's possible only for a great master. The only "special effect" of this melody is its individuality and that's really great... Thanks for pleasure, Nakagawa-san :)

[lukumeii]

Who is the player ?

Isato Nakagawa in  his young age ?

[Redraw4444]

This is Isato Nakagawa, he released this album, Idk name, although I have the tab book, its in japanese, this album was released in 1986 and then again in 2000 presumably when his fame was at a higher level, although not massively famous, it must surely be a nice living =)

[BottledMusic]

Old school Nakagawa. Incredible piece.

[kpmyrick]

Can anyone chime in on what kind of guitars Isato plays....very beautiful.

[iwannacapo]

idk. prolly made for him by a luthier he knows so might not even be able to get one

[iwannacapo]

well i said that before i saw this one has a name at top so idk lol

[aant612]

its almost certainly a Water Road guitar

from a very exclusive japanese luthier

masaaki kishibe and masa sumide also use one but its almost impossible to find info about them on the internet (for me at least!)

[keitaro310]

@aant612 It believe it's a Greven. That headstock shape with lady inlay and banner is very much signature greven (especially that banner). And to add to it, the fretboard inlays are those birds which Kotaro Oshio also has on his Greven OM. In an email I read on a forum, John Greven himself said that he is a long term friend/luthier for Nakagawa Isato and Kotaro Oshio. They're both using the same M-factory/Sunrise pickup system I believe.

[iloveerhu]

Amazing talent

[samualljackson2009]

No.1  !!!!!

[MrTaylorN]

What the fuck is up with the comment below? If you feel that way don't watch this and waste your time commenting... go back to the crack pipe.

Anyway this is fantastic! Anyone know what kind of guitar? I really dig the bird inlays on the fingerboard.

[hiluck7]

@MrTaylorN Well if you love the bird fingerboard inlays you can check out some inlay stickers to attach on your guitar. It's easy and cheap.

[isthatmycow100]

@MrTaylorN Yeah, those are really sweet.

I think, it might be a Taylor, but I'm not sure.

[Phrygian12]

lmao you are one fine piece of work.

this is true Originality and talent

your lil wayne cant play nor write music...unless you think pressing buttons for preset drum beats and adding programed chord progressions is your ideal of a musician...sorry buddy you would last in the world of "REAL" Musicians.

[Bahaumet666]

Hahaha, that made my day. :D

[fuzzyslipper84]

Was wondering if someone wouldn't mind posting the tuning for me? Amazing artist, certainly not much material on him in English though. thanks

[KDMAnderson]

That was amazing.

[dekkermarcus]

BRAVO!

I`d love to learn this song; are there any tabs or notes available?

[Tman4000]

It's not too hard to learn it by ear. The camera shots just about give it to you. That's what I did!

[Nabo00o]

Its like he has attoned his music to something higher....

mabye something we can not yet see...

[bakkersyx]

theres so much behind this song

[rickdav79]

nakagawa is great!!
