At 17:35, you mention popping two on the tsu meri after the ro. Do you pop 2 before or after you first land on tsu meri? In other words, is it Ro - pop 2 - Tsu meri, or is it Ro - Tsu meri - pop 2 - Tsu meri? Thanks

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

Both are acceptable in my opinion. I believe I’m before.

[@barryg9097]

Thanks Shawn and thanks for great instructional videos on accessible honkyoku pieces!

Please do a tutorial on how to play diatonic scale on the shakuhachi.thanks

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

There are many diatonic scales. Can you be more specific?

[@elvisodemejero9647]

@@TairyuShakuhachi thanks f major scale on the 1.8 shakuhachi

[@barryg9097]

Thanks very much for a great video Shawn! Is the notation for the piece available online?

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

I believe there is a place that has all of his scores available for download. I will have to do some digging to find it though.

I was wondering if there is a difference in meaning between 'Murasaki Reibo' and 'Murasaki Reiho', it is the same piece aparently, just a different spelling? Some suggestions: Shika no Tone and Tsuru no Sugomori. Also the komi buki and Nezasa Ha/kinpu/oie ryu style are interesting in my personal opinion. I've had a lesson on Shirabe & Sagari Ha once and the way the master (Keisuke Zenyoji) performed it was splendid. The dynamic range in these pieces are interesting through the use of that komi buki technique. I'd like to learn the technique in more depth, as I've only been quite briefly introduced to it, I don't even know if I'm doing it 'right'; although, as Kakizakai Kaoru told me after asking about my embouchure, as I have no (personal/official) teacher: "If it sounds right, it is right". Just a suggestion of course, you probably don't teach in that school/style as it's rather particular. I've read/heard that the Nezasa Ha sect was a sect located in the northern regions of Japan, where Tsugaru shamisen originated, consisting of primarily ronin/(ex) samurai? That's pretty cool. Just like Tsugaru shamisen is more of a percussive playing style, so are Nezasa Ha pieces in a way with it's expressive/dynamic komi buki. I find the origins of Murasaki Reibo also interesting, as I've always found Ikkyu a fascinating person in Japanese history. With his eccentric ways of zen practice.

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

I do actually teach all those pieces. I’m trained in Dokyoku. I’ll do the Nezasa Ha and komibuki. Thanks for the idea

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

To answer your first question, lots of pieces have multiple names.

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

In regards to Shika No Tone and Tsuru no Sugomori, those pieces are very difficult and nuanced. For my school, they are both Shihan level pieces. They need to be taught one on one but I will consider it.

[@aircombatmaneuvers]

Thanks! Just a question: for the ri ro (kan), Is it valid to play the ro kan after Ri with alternate fingering like all holes closed and the fifth hole shaded or open so we can get the ro kan from ri without closing the lips or increasing blow pressure ? Sometimes i found it to be more smooth that way. What do you think about it?

[@TairyuShakuhachi]

Yes, there is no problem with this but it does change the color of the RO slightly. So I would crack the 5 and then once I am conformtably in kan, then close the 5 fully. Thanks for watching!
