Wow, this is totally bad ass!
Even a long time player like me is benefitting from these notes!
About circa 4 years ago, Mike Penny developed a chord chart that he showed me. Sadly I haven’t seen it since then.
Thank you!!

#10

Thanks guys! I’m really glad to know that y’all are finding the charts helpful! :smiley:

#11

Kyle this files are unavailable. Would you upload this files again please?

#12

Hi Decio,

Hmm… I can’t find them on my computer. :-S Denver, do you have the originals, perhaps?

In the meantime, I would check out Karl Hedlund’s Shamisen Scale Viewer. It’s very, very useful. :slight_smile: - http://shamisen.karlhedlund.se/scaleviewer

#13

I should really close down the old site. http://shamisentest.karlhedlund.se/scaleviewer

has more functionality.

#14

But has it been tested? :wink: I think there was some issue in the Composer part, so I went back to the old one, should really check if I can see it again and report it.

#15

The old composer has quite a few bugs. I’ll probably find some time in the coming weeks to fix some stuff.

#16

Karl… have the links changed for the composer? I click them and it basically says the domain name is parked on the host… but no site.

#17

Hi Tina,
Unfortunately, Shamisen Composer hasn’t been renewed due to lack of use from users. Hosting the online resources costed a chunk of money, so the change is totally understandable. But we’re trying to beg him to create a desktop version so he wouldn’t have to deal with hosting and security updates. :stuck_out_tongue:

#18

So there’s no way to get these anymore… and Karl’s Scale Viewer is down? Dark times these are…

#19

Kyle, the scale viewer is simple javascript with just a few details that could easily be changed into php. If you could convince Luke to take it in at Bachido I’ll gladly send you the code.

#20

Bachido member Denver Norwood contributed his charts for those who are into scales or who want to learn chords on shamisen. These PDFs are a wide variety of scale charts (minor scales, blues scales, gypsy, greek, etc) and a Chord chart.

Hey, old post I know but any chance you could re-up these? (404)

#21

Hey guys,

First time back on Bachido after quite a while. I actually just found all these old sheets during some organizing, so I’ll try to have them scanned and emailed to Kyle later today.

#22

Hi Denver,

Awesome work, would be eager to check them out!

I guess you could just upload them to a file sharing service like Google Drive, dropbox.com or so and post the link here. In case there’s any updates that would be a more straightforward process.

#23

Anybody got a copy of these they could share?

Sweeeeeeeeeeet, thank you so much! You Sir, have saved me much time and frustration figuring this out on my own. You should be very proud of you!

#26

Haha, you’re welcome. And thanks, but none of this is my own design - the original author of the charts is Denver Norwood.

#27

Hello,
Sorry to necropost, but I wanted to see these chord charts and all the links seem to be broken (not surprising after almost 5 years). Might anyone have these?

Thanks everyone.
