  • Love this one. Amazing musicianship on a well chosen song for the sound of the shamisen!

  • Thank you, bumblebin!

  • This is just awesomme!

    Did you change the tuning at all? How long have you been playing the Shamisen? I've played them twice, once while here, another time at home in Aus.

    Great work!

  • Thanks a lot for the comment! Nope, I didn't alter the tuning any; that's the most commonly used shamisen tuning. I enjoyed your rendition a lot, too!

  • Woww. Love it!

    San Sagari?

  • Thanks, ShamisenHero! Ni-agari.

  • You just used google musical translate into this instrument... didn't you...? : D?

  • It's an excellent choice and cover with the shamisen!!!

  • This song = Zen

  • You, sir, are awesome. Too bad you probably don't live anywhere near me, or I could lend you some percussive skills. Keep on keeping on! Incredible talent.

  • @FreeGuitarLicks of course he can

  • Japanese man with a white mans body

  • Random coincidence: I had a harmonica in my hand, and tried to play along to this, and got it right 80% of the time.

    I've never played harmonica before this week.

    Well, it _does_ only play in one key (this is a G) and since it's a cheap 'blues' model, you can 'bend' to extend that by a few notes.

  • I love this! It's amazing!!!! Wonderful!!!!!

  • you are very good, but this deserves a better sounding mic!!!

  • @Indigosnakes Except he's a prick.
