  • That was AMAZING!!!!!!! Fantastic job playing and improvising!!!!!! :D

  • this is so amazing! now with an erhu and drums and you will rock!!

  • I happen to love horse racing ... it wasn't perfect but it was an amazing rendition especially since you did it on a totally different instrument ... Horse Racing is one of the songs I want to learn on my er hu

  • yes indeed.

  • yes! true!

  • I wonder if anyone has attempted to make an erhu-shamisen duo. Just one string short of a guitar and it would still probably accomplish just as much if not more.
