AND WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!? I finally recorded something!! Can you believe it?!?! I certainly can’t 
It’s my impro vid! Just you wait till i upload it. It is bad playing but that’s life!
And there it is! Filmed using my phone so… :DD
Enjoy! Also introducing and stuff
Haha great Ortjo! I know it was a joke about your last video 
It’s always easier to put up more stuff when you’ve made your debut! Before you know it, you’ll be uploading stuff every month. That reminds me, I should record more…
Haha! True that!
Hahaha!! Great debut!! (I saw the rokudan video first) Going in with a bang! 
That better be a joke about your last video. ;-D It’s nice to not only see how you play, but to hear your voice and your humor. It brings even more personality and connection to your text posts.
Man, if only we could get you, Kevin, Karl, Adrian and I in one location, I think we could pull out one hell of a metal band.
Oh! Will you be trying out a grant application to attend Team Bachido this year? We definitely must get together and bust out Transference.
Sounds great! But no i don’t think so. I’m already late for the applications for the next taikai ( it was in the spring right?)
And yeah i enjoyed making these
ahh cool stuff!! bachido members are slowly waking up!! yeah!!
nice playing ortjo, its fun making these little videos, isn’t it?..and yeah kyle’s gig improv did have some indian feel in it, great ,i enjoyed that…
Thanks everyone for contributing here! Karl, Sid, Aki, Kyle and Rick Walker and Ortjo! It’s been Great fun seeing all these videos posted here! Looking forward to more!
Oh man, so excite~!! I figured out what was wrong with my video, and it’s uploading as I type. So happy to finally be joining the party!!!
Ba-BOOM!
Adrian, y u hidin’ dat baby face? You planning to upload that video to Xtube or something?
Nice job, though! I liked what you were doing with the rhythm. Glad to finally hear some more of that new shamisen, too. (Well, new-ish by now, I guess.)
But really everybody, though, this is awesome! And I too am a fan of the newly active Ortjo! Where’d you get that bachi you’re using, by the way? I’ve never seen one like it.
I gotta see about getting in on this improv-ing meself. Most of my practice time recently has been going to getting ready for the taikai, but it might be nice to do something a little different for a bit. I’ll see if I can whip something up…
I think Adrian is following my trend of being a failing camera man. Great improvs Ortjo and Adrian! Gonna be nice to meet up and play badass music!
Yeah, it was my first time setting up a camera to film myself (I don’t take many photos/videos of myself ever) and had trouble just getting the camera to not fall over. Was super bummed that I cut off my head/the tenjin; can’t even really see me playing, but beyond stoked to have done this.
Everyone’s videos are totally awesome an inspiring; I love it~!!
Same as Adrian i rarely film myself doing something or take pictures… other than random retardation videos
Thanks for the feedback ^^ And Jamie it’s just an acryllic bachi. I got it with my Mugen 21 shamisen ( it is even harder than the normal plastic bachi)
Adrian! Hell yeah on the video! Of course we understand you shape shifters sometimes have trouble keeping human form so it’s perfectly understandable that you would want to hide your face from the camera. I mean… Who wants to struggle with keeping up the appearance of being human AND playing Shamisen at the same time right? Hahaha!
Jamie Low! You’re up next! I’ve already contacted the Press !!!
Looking forward to more vids!
Nice one, Adrian! Great intonation and flavors! You might want to catolog some of those phrases for a future Crovetto original! I love that mode/scale with the shamisen.
I think Adrian is following my trend of being a failing camera man.
Ah! Your unforgettable debut video post!
Yeah! The unforgettable Crotch shot debut! Yessir! Let’s Definately hear more from Karl! Great playing! I agree with Kyle! Adrian you should write down some of those phrases and create the New School of Adrian Crovetto Shamisen music!
I filmed this a while ago and forgot to include it here! It is inspired by Sid and Aki’s vid posts here on this thread! Great vids everyone!
Ok Jamie Low! Your turn now !!!
They were played on the spot after putting on my koma. I had abit of a cold and was pretty cold but I played and had some fun. They are all raw video without any editing wish I could remove the noise that my mic was picking up, so forgive the bit of noise that is in a few bits.
Cool! I’m glad you linked those here Cana! Everyone Check out Cana Rochbell’s latest Shamisen playing! Really good improvisation style!
