  • A nice case of ignorance fought with ignorance. As far as the production of sound is concerned (with the body serving as an amplifying drum) the shamisen actually resembles the banjo most of all western instruments. And one only has to listen to bela fleck to know that Banjo's are not for fucking rednecks.

  • Awesome music

  • @CrazedWolfen Actualy the banjo came from Africa. It originated from a three string, fretless instument with a round drum body. (not unlike the shamisen) The banjo as we know it today was developed in the United States by the west african slaves.

  • Playng shamisen must be so hard, because there are no frets to show were to place your fingers.

  • hehe not bad

    XD

  • Wow! Absolutely beautiful.

  • OMG, that was...godly!

  • nice.........XD

  • @MZRN1661 And a case of ignorance from you there with the redneck comment, you were fine until that.

    But I digress, I believe the banjo and others like it came from portugal by my guess. I could be wrong.

  • I love the sound of the shamisen.
