Kubo and the two strings will make you famous

[@noacastillo9608]

joshua harris if I'm not mistaken, he is the one who played the shamisen in Kubo and The Two Strings' soundtrack.

[@shamisendemon]

look out for Kubo and the two strings this August 2016

[@Xanatissimo]

Great work. Very beatiful cover. Well done. Keep posting.

[@michelenintricepsi6529]

Such a beautiful instrument man sends shivers down my spine. It trully has a spirit its own.

[@JonnyTravieso]

I feel like the shamisen shares some of the timbre of whatever instrument was used for the bass track in the original Beatles recording. Even though you’re not following the bass line, that tonal quality has a familiarity to the original that makes the shamisen a good fit.

[@venomslair137]

Kubo is (by far) the best animated film of 2016!!!

[@HaddaClu]

Absolutely beautiful! This was on my recommended list due to my watching the trailer for Kubo and the two Strings, over and over.

[@Mischiefwitch1]

+Matt Hull Me too!

[@ukaszidzikowski2708]

+Matt Hull Oh, good. At least I'm not the only person who couldn't stop rewatching that trailer.

[@guydelombard8759]

+Łukasz Idzikowski Same here. Haunting!

[@shamikami]

Glad to see Shamisen getting more attention these days! You can learn Shamisen online too!

[@Marsson90]

Crazy good :-) rewatched the Kubo trailer several times due to the song. It fits so well, and is completely awesome.

[@richardshisler9780]

Are there Tabs for this amazing tune anywhere?😂

[@DmitryChmelyov]

HELTER SKELTER or COME TOGETHER covers will be fine.

[@TheDefiantPirate]

Would love to hear a cover of the theme from the Video game "Fallout 4" on a Shamisen

[@DungAnhify]

Maybe this was the video that gave inspiration for the Kubo and the two strings soundtrack

[@1010sankaku]

Fascinating... don't need Eric Clapton on his Gibson

[@kameshimayama2195]

except Clapton plays a fender. lol

[@aquib91]

except for this song, Eric Clapton used the guitar he had given to George Harrison as a gift. A Gibson Les Paul named Lucy.

[@jbarnesiii88]

May I ask, how did you learn to play shamisen? Did you have a teacher or did you learn on your own?

[@kameshimayama2195]

ok i've been a big fan since before i even heard about kubo, but can someone explain to me why it's called 'kubo and the two strings' when the shamisen is three stringed? please explain unless its a total spoiler

[@88Zuke]

+Kenshin Tomoshima I've got the feeling that it might be a plot point since the shamisen in the trailer has all 3 strings indeed

[@kameshimayama2195]

+88Zuke somebody has since told me that it is a fairly widespread traditional story that two of the three strings on the tsugaru shamisen can create tones with magical properties while the third string is solely musical with no magical abilities - and the title of the film is in reference to that.

[@maskedblanks7774]

Have you seen the movie now? I think I might have a feeling why it's called "two strings" when a shamisen has three, but it does contain spoilers.

[@sexydadee]

hmmm looks like john lennon is still alive and let himself go

[@revitalshapira6009]

wow, I dare say it's better than Harisson's version, very expressive.
