phony (Tsugaru Syamisen Deuxo)-Tsumiki

We have arranged the song in A minor, which is the original key. The performances and karaoke tracks that are separately distributed by various companies are also in the same key. The length of the song is also the same as the original. Part 1 mainly features the melody, but since it involves frequent leaps in pitch and several key changes, careful attention is needed. The chorus uses the same phrase pattern in three different keys: F, Dm, C#m, and E♭m. Try to memorize the fingering and practice shifting it in parallel across these keys. Part 2 mainly provides the backing. Be sure to maintain a steady rhythm throughout. The intro involves syncopation and interacts closely with the melody, so take care not to fall off the upbeat. On the other hand, the chorus is strongly marked with quarter-note rhythm. Pay attention to accents and aim for a lively, energetic performance. Please refer to the distributed recordings and the instructional videos available on YouTube to help guide your practice.
