BLUE LAGOON - Inspired by 高中正義 / Masayoshi Takanaka

This is a video of one of my demos. I thought i'd edit together clips from here and there into videos to go along with some of my demos, rather than just the sound. Since people often have a limited attention span, thus a video may lure them into listening for longer.

The track is BLUE LAGOON. Originally performed by Masayoshi Takanaka.

Thanks to "RaidouFuwa" for backing music!

BLUE LAGOON

Written by M. Takanaka
Arranged by E. Shi based on Arrangement by M. Takanaka

guitar - Esan Shi
other instruments - As "guitar karaoke" music track.

Recorded / edited / mixed / produced by E. Shi

It's basically my demo version of Takanaka's "Blue Lagoon" written by Masayoshi Takanaka. But I rearranged and remixed into a longer version with improvisation in the soloing.

Background video footage taken from various Takanaka videos, Agnes Lum videos and a National Geographic documentary.

Keep checking for more demos as there will always be more to come.

And add my musical space http://www.myspace.com/shinkongo too. It's not complete yet but it will be updated soon with all demos.

The original "Blue Lagoon" composition was performed by Masayoshi Takanaka and written by Masayoshi Takanaka. That and footage used in the video are all copyright/the property of the respective owners.

@intahipp Wow you have a lot! I'd love to have Shake-It, if you wouldn't mind could I get it from you? I'd say let's trade something but looks like you have all the "minus-one" Takanaka tunes that I have already. But actual Takanaka records, I have quite a lot, maybe I can give you something that you don't have! Or if you want backing tracks specifically I have some other stuff like Jeff Beck, etc.

Ha, ha!! Very cool! Takanaka is one of my very favorite guitarists. I have both "Takanaka Guitar Karaoke 1976-1980 and 1981-2004" books and CD's. Good stuff. You did very well with this. I hope Takanaka has seen it and approves.

[shinkongo]

@intahipp Thanks a lot! Hahah I don't know if he's seen but if he has I did not receive any approval! By the way, what tunes do you have on those CDs? Do you have any recordings of Takanaka tunes too?

[intahipp]

Here are the songs on Disc 1, Takanaka Guitar Karaoke: 01 Oh! Tengo Suerte, 02 Sweet Agnes, 03 Tropic Birds, 04 Seychelles, 05 I Remember You, 06 Ready To Fly, 07 An Insatiable High, 08 Isu Sweet Summer Selling Natto, 09 Blue Lagoon, 10 Explosion, 11 Taj Mahal, 13 Early Bird, 14 Finger Dancin'

I have 53 Takanaka songs as MP3's and will add about a dozen more in the next couple of weeks. Some are studio cuts and some are live so there are some duplicates. There are 29 guitar karaoke songs in the books with music, chords and tabs and on the CD's.

@dying1000 Come on dude. No need for that. Play it for her too!

[dying1000]

@shinkongo Nevermind. My mom banned me from hearing this song. I am going to die. Goodbye everyone.

[shinkongo]

@dying1000 Well I am glad you like it and it means something to you. And I can understand you, I really can.

[dying1000]

@shinkongo I listen to this song as I wake up every morning..your version of it..because even though I'm in a tough time blue lagoon reminds me that the sun is always shining somewhere...even if that is some far off lagoon of blue.
