I bought a Shamisen but the fujaku doesn't seem to fit well

[DanielSibaja]

I recently bought a shamisen (Greetings from Costa Rica!)
The problem is the fujaku, it doesn’t fit well, I tried to play a tab on one of Kyle videos and still wrong, and I put the fujaku exactly how Kyle told us!

In need a lil of help, I think is the shamisen, it looks like a Nagauta instead of a tsugaru ¿It would be that?

Most of the nagauta scores I’ve seen use a different system (kosaburoufu notation) based on pitch rather than position, so while a fujaku will tell you where the notes are (i.e. that you are not playing sharp or flat), the numbers will not coincide with those in nagauta scores. Anyway, Kyle, maybe you co…

If you have a digital tuner you can always use painter’s tape to make your own markings.
