Hey Kyle (and associates) ,
I just want to tell you how grateful i am for this site. I just got a Shamisen from my wife’s parents so i’m very eager to learn how to play. This site is just what i needed!
Yours,
Thomas
PS. The mail you get when you sign up says that you can ask questions by replying to the mail. That didn’t work, it just bounced. DS
Hi Thomas!
Thank you very much for telling us! 
That’s excellent that they gave you a shamisen!!! I’m glad we’ll be able to help you learn.
Hmm… that’s odd that it bounced. :-S Well, you can send me a PM. Also, anytime you have shamisen-related questions/observations, feel free to post them on the forum. As you can see, the forum is packed full of very passionate shamisen enthusiasts.
Welcome to Bachido!
Kyle
