Yusuke is an 11 string guitarist. As the inventor of what he calls the “3D-ing” style of guitar play, he is always experimenting with and searching for new and interesting sounds. The way Yusuke plays, there is a rhythm to the guitar that makes the sound propel out of the speakers in a way that people seeing it live say is multidimensional. Yusuke has worked as a professional sound engineer as well as a musician. He does the entire music making process by himself and is dedicated to making it a unique experience for his listeners.
Yusuke custom-designs his guitars. The guitar in the photo above is his 9 string custom model.
