The shamisen appears to be a 3 stringed instrument so it would be ideal for Seasick Steve numbers 
.
Seriously, I would think that the shamisen will have an interesting sound being skinned, something akin to a banjo I guess. It would be interesting to hear it when it is re-skinned.
Have fun with the harmonica, I could never get to grips with one, so I stick to what I know - playing guitar badly.
Roger
Looks like fun although not so sure about coming down the steps and across the road. I don't think a boogie board has very good brakes

At Faro airport this evening I saw this rather suspicious looking character coming towards me.
Later, at a bar I sometimes frequent I come across him again... I think he might be following me!!!
Welcome to Portugal Paul
Roger
Great how fortunes can change. Suddenly from the loss on one to the acquisition of two. Looking forward to photos of the actual one and a report on how she plays (nice to see a zero fret, so the action will be nice and low).
Roger
* Standing ovation *
Actually it is a * Standing Gibson *
Nice looking guitar Jeff.
Roger
Phill why not use Audacity? It is free, you can convert to wav, mp3 and many other formats, you can adjust volume overall or just in a part and much more.
Roger
He was an incredible man and an inspiration to us all. R.I.P.
Roger
Well, as I see it, you have one of two choices to make!!!
You either get a new guitar or a new husband.
It is cheaper to get a new guitar, so economics demand that that is the way to go. Also training a new man is one heck of a chore so take the easy path.... NEW GUITAR.
Roger
That is one nice new baby. Congrats Mitter B.
Now you have to buckle down, practice, practice and then practice more until you can do justice to her .

Jeff, the last part of one of these Flickr! photos is: f59708f842_m.jpg
Try changing the 'm' before the '.jpg' to a 'z' for slightly larger or to a 'c' for larger picture still.
Roger
This is what I see Jeff:

There is a saying "No good deed goes unpunished" but I prefer "No good deed goes unnoticed by Him" which seems to true in your case.
Roger
Welcome Mitter B, nice to meet you! Looking forward to some photos to prove the NGD .
Pull up a chair, sit back, relax and ask away.
Roger
Hi Bob, Welcome to the forum, please check your e-mail .
Roger
Thanks. Now I understand I have never heard that expression before, maybe it is an American idiom. In the UK it would be a quaver (1/8th note), a semi quaver (1/16th note,) a demi semi quaver (1/32nd note), a hemi demi semi quaver (a1'64th note)......... heck this is getting ridiculous
I am with Zurf, on the same string, the fastest and smoothest way to play short notes is with an up and down action.

Howard, Richard and I are good friends and as Howard runs the music school he was nicknamed 'Prof' (Professor - Portuguese for teacher). Richard is a big Doctor Who fan with a Tardis drinks cabinet beside his swimming pool and a full size Dalek in his living room so 'The Doc' was an obvious choice.
They were struggling with a nickname for me, which I found amusing, until one day when I sorted out Howard's PC for him while Richard was there. Howard commented to Richard "The boy's a genius that PC has been a bother for ages" and Richard jumped on it and I have been 'Genius' ever since.
When Richard and I have a gig he will have mentioned my nickname several times and then ask if anyone remembers Thunderbirds. He then goes on to say that I am the father of 'Brains. :LOL:
Roger
Resurrecting an old one here but bear with me please. The finish on this guitar soon became chipped and tarnished so my friend Richard (The Doc) asked me to strip it and let him have it. It has been a while but he took it to an auto body shop and had it refinished and lacquered with my nickname on it to match his Tele which has 'The Doc' on. (He also bought a Tanglewood so when we play together we can use out matching Tanglewoods or our 'signature' guitars).
As I have been waiting 6 months for this it is like having two NGD's in one week
Roger
I have been playing guitar and involved in music for 55 years and I have never heard of a 'tied note'! Rope and music do not go together in my mind (well, not in a way that can be discussed here) .
I am looking forward to discovering what this is.
Roger
Wishing all you guys and gals over the pond a Happy Thanksgiving from Portugal. (Where turkey is called peru ).
Roger
Thanks Joe, I have hung my nose over one of these for a while.
Yes Jeff. Cedar top, Mahogany back, side and neck, Rosewood fretboard and chrome fittings.
Zuf, I will bring her home one evening and call you on Skype.
Roger
I have been suffering from GAS for a while and I have been impatiently waiting for her to arrive for the past three weeks. The anxiety has been almost overwhelming at times, but today relief came this lunchtime -NGD.

Nice photo Jim.
Hi Midimannz,
It is there. I have just checked this morning, the problem must be with your PC.
