guitar begs me stop
can’t riff; my fingers clunky
sick cows sound better
love music, but can’t make it
thank gawd, my camera rocks

The second life photo shows an Okinawan 3-stringed sanshin rather than a guitar. Japanese shamisen evolved from the snake-skinned Okinawan sanshin which probably evolved from the sanxian, a Chinese 3-stringed instrument that looks pretty much the same. Some people think the sound is similar to a banjo.
Okinawan sanshin, Okinawan folk music
And for fun a ukelele & sanshin Norwegian Wood duet
