FIVE (Tsugaru Syamisen Honte TAB)

Arashi  

It is arranged in F, the same key as the original song. The performances and karaoke versions distributed separately by various companies are also in the same key. The length of the piece is the same as the original.

Part 1 plays the main melody. The intro should be played rhythmically, and in the latter half, during the humming section, a few embellishments are added.

The key shifts from F major to the brighter D major. Although sections D and E have almost the same melody, the chord progression in E has distinctive characteristics that express a subtle sense of melancholy. It would be great if you can bring out that nuance!

Part 2 ძირითად handles the backing. In interplay with Part 1, there are sections where it should be clearly heard and others where it supports the melody, so try to be mindful of that distinction as you play.

Since the chord progressions in D and E are quite different, be careful when playing them.

Please refer to the distributed performance versions and YouTube tutorial videos as you practice.
