Just freely improvising on the Satsuma biwa while practicing. Working on my tremolo here, trying to improve my accuracy.

  • The Biwa has got to be one of the most aggressive instruments of Japanese music, yet it expresses it in such a gentle and delicate way.

  • You're spot on. If you want to see some excellent Satsuma biwa playing, check out this video: watch?v=HfOA20OY1fk

  • @Obakedake nice man. are you still in Japan? I want to assemble a list of foreign instrumentalist playing japanese instruments. I studied the jiuta shamisen and koto while in Osaka. Now I'm in Tokyo working on various music projects.

  • @justindicenzo

    Yes, I'm still in Japan, playing biwa and singing. I live in Kobe at the moment. Your group sounds interesting!
