Stroll “from My Neighbor Totoro” (Tsugaru Syamisen Kaede TAB Easy version)

This arrangement is set in C, matching the original key. The performances and karaoke versions distributed separately by various companies are also in the same key. The song length is the same as the original.

Part 1 plays the main phrase. In the intro section, Part 2 takes the lead, so make sure to keep a steady rhythm. It would be great if you can hum the Part 2 phrase while playing the Part 1 phrase.

Play the melody energetically, making sure to count the beats clearly as you go.

Part 2 ძირითადly provides backing, but the intro is more difficult, so it is handled by Part 2.

Be careful not to play too loudly compared to the melody, and keep the overall balance in mind.

Try playing along while referring to the distributed performances or the instructional videos on YouTube.
