If you're looking for a great album to get stoned to look no further than Takanaka's rainbow goblins. I only found out about Takanaka after hearing one of his songs sampled in a Run The Jewels song.
@@LeviClay there is a concert he did where he played with santana, watch?v=JoKxIRnALCg, around minute 2:29 they start trading impros, but the 1st minute it looks like he is so good that santana is his background guitarist, it might be worth your time.

Your books country guitar soloing technics and pentatonic blues Caged are just awesome.Anyone wanting to understand the Caged system this is the two books for you.Listen to the Greek and buy these you will never regret it.They will change your soloing world and open up the entire neck.
I picture the after party is just them telling horrible surf jokes to each other.. Why do surfers eat cold food? Because they hate microwaves. What did the wave say to the surfer? Have a swell time! How can you spot a surfer at a wedding? He's the one that's not there. What do you call a surfer who just broke up with his girlfriend? Homeless.
I don’t know what it is, exactly, that makes this sound odd. It doesn’t sound very “live” does it? I don’t mean the playing, but the recording. It just doesn’t sound like there’s a crowd there. It sounds like a rehearsal in a studio, and very dry, with no reverb or something. 🤔
@@LeviClay I think this is quite a trend in Japanese music - if you listen to Mint Jams by Casiopea (fantastically good jazz fusion), it sounds like a studio recording with no venue ambience - it fools you even more because the band are so unbelievably tight that it sounds like a studio recording in any case. I also think that Japanese audiences react quite differently to western audiences and their clapping along probably sounds a bit shit in the mix. I remember Brian May talk about how Japanese audiences are totally different and they don't tend to sing along.
The Japanese always have an incredible ear for melody and jazz. Takanaka never disappoints
This is Samba.
Samba jazz
So this is what surf rock is, huh...
Surfboard Rock…
Lol)))
Such a legend! him and Casiopea are amazing.
and kazumi watanabe

Yup - that is a great album as well as it's later sequel - great music to work to (or get stoned with!)
Rainbow goblins live 🤙
Masayoshi Takanaka! Check out his albums. Absolute gold!
Love seeing Masayoshi Takanaka featured here!
Finally you stumbled on the legend of masayoshi takanaka
Finally, you stumbled on my 18 month old video 🤣

@@Kraidful I wanted to do another one, but even with the cool thumbnail this one barely got clicked :(

Saw him in Tokyo last October, phenomenal
Suuuuppeeerrr underrated guitarist Takanaka
Love that Takanaka!
More surf board guitar solos, please.

Because they hate microwaves.

He's the one that's not there.
What do you call a surfer who just broke up with his girlfriend?
Homeless.
The best part of this video was the insight into Japanese culture before the music started.
Great surfboard guitar.
Levi, someone who seems overlooked is Rik Emmett. Anything you can do there?
Thank you
Talking about Yasamoshi Takanaka talk about rainbow goblins by him and also Casiopea
That's the right guitar to play Beach Boys songs

Live recordings are usually a mix between ambiance/room mics and what is coming out of the PA. This sounds like its just the latter.
Yeah, it’s like a soundboard recording

this actually a clip of the longer live video, it's like 2 hours straight, he is just that good!
I love Japan
Sounds like I'm playing Out Run.
would look good on stage next to Kirk Hammets wavecaster
3:42
That’s Japan for ya lol.
My favorite Japanese guitarist will forever be AKIRA from LOUDNESS
Who else thought he was going to play surf rock? 😀
Well, it does not seem to suffer from neck dive. LOL. The Japanese seem to exhibit a wonderful appreciation for things. It’s great.
I had to listen to Dick Dale after this.
I see the youtube algorithm found you too Levi
Santakanaka
He was board
His tone is kinda fin…😂
Yeh not a fan of the tone
Damn it 🤣
To be fair, the guitar weighs 20lbs and I doubt it’s meant to be more than a fun little toy to bring on tour.
I can't unsee that. Yikes
Cool as fuck, horrible tone though
Such a shame, his playing is fantastic but the guitar sounds like nails on a chalkboard
Not a fan of his guitar tone
Much better on the “On Guitar” album
@@ClearColorClouddog it’s better on literally any of his albums.
@@slugoo6474 okay?
