@MrCrazytater It's called a shamisen. Learn all about it at bachido.com! :-) It has all you need to start playing one today!

that was amazing where did you learn to throat sing like that?

[fiddlefella]

@benhd1

Thanks!

Do a google search for "khoomei crash course". That will help you learn. :-)

lmao ur face at 0:55 was hilarious, but this entire video was freakin amazing, definite fav, how long did it take u to learn how to throat sing?

@bkj13

Haha! Thanks. ;-)

Well, at that point, I probably had been doing it . . . 6 months? I've been doing it for 4+ years now, so there's a noticable difference in quality, if I may be so humble. ;-)

I want to call the second song "Mongolian Freebird" for some reason. Great job.

Woah, quite a strange association! But the result was really good. I love shamisen sound. I'd like to learn it too, but maybe I'm too old :P
