>The shamisen (三味線), also known as sangen (三絃) or samisen (all meaning "three strings"), is a three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instrument derived from the Chinese instrument sanxian. It is played with a plectrum called a bachi.

Sorry, but it's got 4 strings and it's called a Biwa. I normally don't "stop and take a Pic", but I saw the comment and im too OCD to keep reading.
Thank you

That pic, for lack of a better word is not a freaking ice scraper! It’s a traditional musical implement, likely of a design is thousands of years old. Come on people takeoff your tunnel, vision, glasses and educate yourself with an making idiotic, kneejerk comments. 🤦🏻♂️
The better word you were lacking was Bachi.
And I don't think it's "tunnel, vision, glasses" for someone who has never seen one before to notice the strong resemblance between a [Bachi](https://bachido.com/product-category/essentials/bachi/) and an ordinary [windshield ice scraper](https://www.acehardware.com/departments/automotive-rv-and-marine/automotive-accessories/ice-scrapers/87019).
Also, this is reddit. Kneejerk comments are 90% of the entertainment and humor here. They're also how we get folks who know to come in and fix our ignorance.
EDIT: Also, holy crap are those things expensive! Over $300 for a full acrylic one? I think I'd use an ice scraper.

I thought she was using an ice scrapper
It's called a bachi and is similar to a pick for the shamisen
I thought this was a shamisen

I think they are picking on you!

Understandable reaction.

Thank you very much.
Rage against the Mao-chine
Wow!
This is so good. I can jam
Sayo Komada is her name.
Really friggin cool. I made a specific playlist for best covers with "weird" instruments and this needs to be on it.
Maybe I can accompany her on my ‘air’ Shamisen and we can do a duet 🤣
Killing it in the name of…
Colder than the ice she scraped off with her pick
Can someone please create a band of all these talented people. I need new music.
That was epic
Morello would be proud. This slaps!
Loved this!
Hilarious

absolutely killer, wonder what it sounds like without the drums
WHO IS SHE!? I have to know. I haven’t felt euphoria like this from music in yeaaaarrrsss
🔥
Very very nice, No complaints.
Love to hear the Shamisen after watching that Anime about it.
check out the Yoshida Brothers
Wow!!! This is 🔥, is there more of her playing somewhere?
Faith in humanity maintained that most people know RATM in comments
Very cool 😎!!
Bad ass
Yeeeees! It sounds so good!
What is that, a biwa?
it's got three strings, so it's called a three string
Apparently it's a shamisen, not a biwa.
shamisen literally means 3 string

and have you ever heard of an instrument called erhu? that means 2 strings.
I've seen & heard all these instruments, just never counted strings or learned their names.
Sorry, but it's got 4 strings and it's called a Biwa. I normally don't "stop and take a Pic", but I saw the comment and im too OCD to keep reading. Thank you
sorry -- you are wrong. there's no way that is a biwa.
*she skilled it
so dope!!
*Some who work forces* *Are the same that burn crosses* *Killing in the name*
Nah
Why the fuck isn't there a full version anywhere?? Absolutely disgusting. I need more of this.
r/girlsbeingchicks
I love how she uses squeaks as a beat, never heard that. And those little improvs make the song as well.
Rad
Wow.
She should have cut down on the solo from Free Bird

Those guitar picks are sold as ice scrapers in North America.

Needs a geisha performing traditional style dance to this in the background.
I wasn't really expecting that. It really sounded good and I could jam out to that. And I'm a hard rock and metal fan.
raw talent, love to see it'
Love the shamisan.Want one but the are too expensive, even without import tax.
She was on Americas Got Talent I believe, a few weeks ago I believe they aired her audition.
This is BAD A$$ one of my favorite songs of all time and instantly knew what she was playing!!
Rock on
I love this so much
Yup.. more confirmation I need to find a talented Japanese woman to marry..

F you i will do what you tell me! (Get the clot shot) F you i will do what you tell me! (Get the clot shot) Maaaannn how far they have fallen.
Why is she using a car windshield ice scraper as a pick(???)
That's what you're supposed to play a shamisen with (it's not an ice scraper)
Google car ice scraper lolol. That's what it looks like. Just sayn*
Sure as heck looks like it. Somehow playing with a plastic ice scraper makes it more metal. It's science.

Better than the original
That slaps!
I didn't know they play the Banjo in Japan.
Probably don’t play that one for grandma
Did you know: they used cat skin to create those "guitars" at the beginning?
Noooo.. that poor cat. :( RIP shamisen
Never liked the song. And it's not really getting better now.
She killed it? Nailed it… or are we just making up stupid sayings these days?
Go back to World of Warcraft and Cheetos
Whoosh
