Tsugaru Shamisen music - Tsugaru Ondo

A song from northern Aomori province in japan
played on Tsugaru shamisen, a bigger version of the soft three-stringed japanese lute, created in Aomori/Tsugaru region due to extreme cold

This song is quite fun. It uses a sad tuning (sansagari, in video case D, G, C or Re Sol Do)
with lots of not commonly used neck positions on shamisen. Although the video and my technique are really bad (First attempt with webcam, heheh), please enjoy!

Thats really good. the different neck positions used make it sound really unique to most of the shamisen music here on youtube

I wish the quality is better, it's hard to appreciate the tone. Please post better quality video of your playing when you can! Great stuff.
