      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. ^^

      bass is math
      There comes so much pressure from her....
      This is what I call bass playing, for the music and not for herself.

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

    • @jbmaillet
      @jbmaillet Před 2 lety +2

      This one too (not funk, but yet) also demonstrates quite well the potential of the shashimen as an intrument: czcams.com/video/mqlsO6iP5ow/video.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!")

      @alpintourer Před 2 lety +1

      I think the thumbs down relate to the playing of a traditional Japanese instrument. It's just a little too twangy from me, but I appreciate the skill and mastery of playing. Great video editing BTW

      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.

      So much talent and discernment on stage and off! Sound is so much harder than we ordinarily give credit to.
      These women are brilliant, no question. And fun. But see, now we KNOW they're brilliant. And that's much to the credit of the sound engineering and filmography.
