man, maybe i'm not as experienced as you and my interpretation is too attached to technique, but you simplified the music in some parts... well you did some marcations between notes very well, i liked them a lot ^^

wich style do u follow?

Hello-

Not sure what you are thinking of - Takamizu and I played the 6 dans of Rokudan according to the music I have and it matched what Takamizu was playing.

Perhaps you have heard a version with the Kaeta section? Is there a different Tozan version of Rokudan?

There are certain embellishments that I was taught and that yes, I tend to play in a Gaikyoku piece.

Goro Yamaguchi's playing is a huge inspiration in this regard.

As for style, I study and play the Kinko school of Honkyoku.

This, Hakusen No, and Tsuru no Sugamori are my very favorites. Thank you for posting this.
