Hi Everyone,
In Japan at the moment Cherry Blossom festivals are taking place all over the country.
The Japanese turn out in large numbers with family and friends,at parks, shrines and temples to hold flower-viewing parties and celebrate the beauty of the cherry blossom.
I hope you enjoy my version of the beautiful ‘Sakura’ which translates as ‘Cherry Blooms’.
If you like it please share it around and/or leave a comment.

Really nice Leigh. Was that some harmonic work at the start?
Next lesson, I will have to ask you about the technique of playing above and prior to the sound hole and the different sounds that gives.
Cheers,
Julian
