Blackbird cover on Marimba - Paul McCartney / The Beatles - マリンバでブラックバード弾いてみた
May 23, 2022

Blackbird is one of my favorite songs, and I'm sure many of you feel the same way! Since I don't play the guitar (or at least not yet!), I really wanted to find a way to play this beautiful song on marimba. In this cover, I tried to capture the feelings of the original song as much as possible. Please let me know what you think in the comment section!

ブラックバードは昔から好きな曲なので、どうしても自分の弾ける楽器で演奏してみたくてこのアレンジを作ってみました。オリジナルのギター&ヴォーカルの雰囲気をなるべくそのまま表現することを目指しました。

J.S. Bach Two Part Invention No.8 / 2 Marimbas by Chihiro Shibayama] / バッハ: インベンション8番 (芝山千紘・マリンバ)
Jan 26, 2022

About the Piece:

J.S. Bach /Invention No.8 from Two-Part Inventions and Sinfonias

バッハ・インヴェンションとシンフォニアからインベンション8番

It's originally written for the piano - In this video, Chihiro plays both parts on two different marimbas as if she is playing a duet with herself.

この曲はピアノ曲ですが、このビデオでは一人で右手と左手の両パートを2台違うマリンバで演奏し、あたかも自分とデュエットしているかのように見せました。
