Tak Matsumoto with Orchestra - Strings of My Soul

This video features famed Grammy Award-winning Japanese guitarist Tak Matsumoto of B'z performing with the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra in July of 2004. The performance spanned thirteen compositions, all based on Tak's previous work (drawn from both his B'z and solo catalogues).

The song performed here is "Strings of My Soul", which originated on the 1994 B'z double-album "The 7th Blues". The song is noteworthy due to it being one of very few guitar instrumentals to be found in the B'z discography.
