I see where you're going now

Or this?

Good for you, EA. I remain confused, so you'll just have to deal with my confused ramblings (ZZ Top came to mind briefly, but ...)

Lawdy, there's so much good stuff on the LP. One of the few serious competitors to Sgt. Pepper ...

And a cooling-off song to (perhaps) get you calmed down ...

erm, or maybe I meant this song?

... John McLaughlin would have gone nuts trying to play with those huge plectrums ...

Come to think of it, a guitar genius like McLaughlin would probably have been able to adapt to them ...
But that would then have been Shamisen playing like none ever heard before ...

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

Yep -- much like the banjo, except fretless, three-stringed, and played with only two fingers and an ice scraper! 😀

But -- the tsugaru style has similarities with bluegrass, as I mentioned in the Watching thread.

Not sure what some of those words (tsugaru) mean but this won't has a banjo, so bluegrass?

 

[Olorgando]

Don't know much about bluegrass; I do have a 1969 vinyl LP by Ray Stevens (a live performance).
Plenty of good stuff on that LP, but this is my favorite, and the LP title, to boot:

HEY! THIS one's just as good:

What the hey, here's the whole album:

Ah sorry I remember reading that from the Watching thread, just reread it. That was a while ago lol

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Waay back a month ago! 😂

I haven't watched the series yet, but this is my regular wakeup music lately:

SHAA!

Or maybe it's
JAH! 😁

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

While I'm on the subject, a reminder that Wagakki Band's Beni plays a mean shamisen, too:

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

But, as you guys seem to be stuck on novelty songs. . .

Er, OK, here's another version (maybe) of the original

Another one from a show Stevens apparently had in 1970:

and a later version; hope one of them works:

Yup those three worked

Now do Homer and Jethro Tull.

Not Homer but close enough

And -- though he never comes here -- just for Elthir:

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

So. . .if nobody likes Wagakki Band's version of Senbonzakura, how about Lindsey Sterling's cover (albeit in "other guise", i.e., Hatsune Miku 😁)?

 

[Radaghast]

I don't know if anyone else here listens to Metallica but here's an odd cover of their song "Motorbreath", a track from their debut album Kill 'Em All.

I wonder if it's supposed to be ironic. Here's the original:
