Shamisen Week 19 Lesson

The previous lesson and practice hours were difficult. Again, my instructor felt I had mastered it enough within one week that we move on to new material. I am a bit surprised but enjoy pushing on even though I don't have it perfect. Remember what Coach Sabin of the Alabama Crimson Tide says: "Perfect prevents you from getting good."

In this week's lesson, many new notes are once again introduced along with the first piece that is in 3/4 time:

Position 3, San

Octave 2, San

Position 10, Ni

Position 9, Ni

Position 8, Ni

Position 7, Ichi

My head is swirling with all the new notes and combination of notes that are contained in the last two lessons. I gulp and push on.
