@@davidgazdziak2922 i think u might have ;)

I thought exactly the same thing. Does it work? Oh hell yes

Same here lmao

how serendipitous

Or tight

You still can! I'm 16, and I formed my own band, we play Carlos tunes!

@@onyjdmCarlos already did that though. That’s the difference between now and then.

@@bert_gimspon That is fair. I'm playing his songs so I learn from the best

When was that

​@@slugoo6474about 5:10-5:15

it makes me smile so big every time I see that interaction, haha.

I agree, it's up there bud. Hard to believe this was 43 years ago

That would have been sick tbh. There is barely any documentation or interviews in English with Takanaka

hopefully he'll still be doing live shows in his 80s

welcome to japan its worth livin in there.

I think they are just swapping between call and response and harmony. Anyway, that's the nature of improvisation.

they were like clashing trying synch with each other...awesome

Santana's sudden interruption surprised Takanaka that Takanaka got confused how to pull a quick response. But truly it ended up awesome

one is merican mexican form his time, the other is chinese japanese from his time... then THIS happens ;:)

the josuke pfp epic

her name is Izumi Kobayashi and she's got a successful solo career

@@beenthroughnam3747 this is what I came here to say. Everyone Takanaka plays with is prolific. If you like the playing of someone in any of Takanaka's songs, I bet you my life they have a solo album that never left Japan

yeah she was absolute fire on that solo and her ending descending tonal flourish was a mic drop. Nuckin Futs

hope youre doing alright :)

Thats some takanaka magic for ya

Bro it's got me crying rn I'm glad someone else gets it lol

Got me teary eyes too

Crying is only allowed at funerals, at the grand canyon, and when listening to masters like these

Amen brothers and sisters! Such a real passion you can feel by just seeing how happy he is playing unlike most others faking it or flexing... This just touches you!

Takanaka still gives lives at his age you can go see him in Japan and it's very affordable I'm planning to do so next summer 2023

What does gnarliest mean in this context?

@@chogussy721 Soulful, beautiful and emotionally moving.

Same

@@chogussy721 grabs you by the short hairs and drags you into musical realms you only dreamt of.

Watch the ready to fly in 2011 super live

Cheers! From the states with love ❤

Thank you for your support

Damn right awesome!

Check out Takanaka's album brazilian skies!

Esse é o lance kkkkkk Glr acha mó estranho o fato de "música sem letra" , toda vez q eu mostro pra takanaka alguem, sempre dizem a merma coisa "cade a letra?" eu pessoalmente acho que um dos pontos especiais do takanaka é justamente a instrumentalidade da maioria das musicas dele Eu ja me acostumei ja, as vezes até prefiro que certas musicas nao tivessem letra, acho massa pensar, focar nos instrumentos e melodias de uma musica Salve pacero 🤝

I always go back to japanese rock because its 1 of 5 reasons that I started playing, so yeah, you're right. Definitely stokes the flames

😭🥲

Much as gracias siuuuuuuuu

Thanks, it's appreciated :)
