      She really is. I just wish her solo had a little less Marcus Miller, and a little more herself in it. Can't blame her for digging the guy, though. ^^

      Really?Have a look at this one from 2009: ua-cam.com/video/BTsq7Wc0bHk/v-deo.html
      I (as a former bass player) almost brought a shashimen back from my last trip in Japan in 2011.

    • @jbmaillet
      @jbmaillet 2 роки тому +2

      This one too (not funk, but yet) also demonstrates quite well the potential of the shashimen as an intrument: ua-cam.com/video/mqlsO6iP5ow/v-deo.html
      The tune is way older than 2016 but I can't get my hands on the original video. Pardon my French, but "ca envoie du bois!" ("it spends wood splinters all over the place!")

      The shamisen is a traditional Japanese instrument but today we're going to break some rules. We're going to add some Americanized keyboarding (Booker T) and we'll see what happens. Damn that was pretty good. Oh yeah that was hip.

    As a musician myself I know within myself what renditions work and what don't. I like not only what I heard, but what I saw. Allow me to say this: music holds no boundaries, and everyone and everything is connected. We ate the creators. If we comp someone's work, it simply means we like the help out of it! Understand when I say this, it simply means to continue to develop your style and appreciate others style. If you do it on a pro level get permission to go forward, because you will pay! Thumbs up from me to you! Keep rocking!
