Advice Before You Buy

In this intermediate-to-advanced level course, being very comfortable with shamisen and able to execute hajiki, sukui and suri techniques is advised to benefit the most from this course.

These phrases are equivalent to guitar “riffs”. They are short bursts of excitement to be arranged into a normal melodic section of Jonkara Bushi (though they can be added to other songs as well). In other words, a song isn’t built on only riffs. A song has a melodic structure and riffs are added to it like spice on food. With that in mind, you’ll find these phrases are awesome for connecting the sections of your song together while adding attention-capturing flurry of notes to keep your audience in awe!

Enjoy!
