In love with red's leg positions. one leg is frozen in the arm like it's resting on an invisible wall. The other is tapping the beat, despite the fact his foot is upside down.

The shamisen really shines through here. I love that sound!

@Kruegernator123 Год назад

The banjo player is playing the background part since the metal picks overpower the shamisen player.

You had me dancing in my seat...well by dancing, I mean wiggling-uncontrollably-in-my-seat-in-what-looks-like-a-seizure in a happy kinda way. Very catchy.

This is _fascinating!_ Such an unique combination of instruments, but they've got such a _sound_ together!!

Banjo player's picking hand looks like its barely moving but he's shredding, Shamisen player you know also burns a banjo down, also had time to master a Japanese instrument!? Favorite duet/banjo video ever.

@johngleeman8347 Год назад

Love these. The shamisen keeps the pace like a percussion instrument. The banjo fills in the aural space its more plucky cousin cannot. X3

@mikepenny01 12 лет назад

Ha! I always assume awkward positions when playing. Not sure why.

@Engges1 4 года назад

Mike Penny you need to know and practice some traditional repetoire of japanese music. That's responsibility of playing world music. Thanks

Awesome work. You've discovered another genre that suits the shamisen perfectly. You're like the Bela Fleck of shamisen.

Not bad it was pretty good but I can't help to feel some what insulted and impressed at the same time cus of my Irish heritage but keep up the good work and no need to worry I liked it

@johnellis572 7 лет назад

the shamisen sounds irish and the banjo oriental weird eh!!! but instresting

@dmsanct 12 лет назад

@cutthecan yah because playing an irish song on a shamisen is as irish-insulting as taking a crap in a bag of potatoes... quack

@cutthecan 12 лет назад

@Dmsanct i wouldn't go that fair I was insulted because didnt sound like the song I so enjoy. Your remark about take a shit in a bag of irish potatoes was ever more so insulting.
