Minyo Lesson | Tanko Bushi

This video introduces Tanko Bushi from Minyo (folk song) of Fukuoka prefecture.

This is one of the most popular Minyo in Japan.

For all Minyo, Shamisen becomes the accompaniment of the singing. Therefore, it would be easy for you to learn the shamisen part with the melody of singing memorized.

Tanko Bushi uses Tsubo from major scales that makes the song sounds bright.

Tsubo 8 and 2 are introduced for the first time, so try to stay in tune when you play these Tsubo.
