Shamisen Week 46 Lesson

Well, there wasn't one. I was involved in a personal move and so had to cancel my sangen lesson this week. However, I continued to practice the song Hana No Uta.

The song is 9 pages, 208 measures long. The longest song to date that I have studied.There are a few difficult measures that require speed; some measures that use an off beat (playing a note on the upbeat instead of the downbeat); and, of course, the ubiquitous troublesome transitions of 5, 7, 8 and Octave 1.

If I can ever master those particular positions I will be sitting pretty. As of now, I ain't sitting very well. Oh, well. Back to fingering the sao.
