Danny Trejo of the sitar. Very cool instructional video. Thanks Stephan.
You’re awesome brother. I still listen to, what I thought was your first CD, “The Good , the bad and the karmic. I bought it from you after i saw you playing like a busker, if I can use that word, I believe it was LA. Thank you for your great rhythms and sound. 🙏🏼💜🇨🇦
Are you a Guitarist who would like to try playing sitar? Post your questions in the comments, I look forward to hearing from you!
Yes
Good! do you have a sitar yet?
Me
you should pin this comment
Spanish Guitar or Hawaiian Guitar??
Both these guitars are now being converted to play Ragas by adding 20 sympathetic strings.
Very informative 👏 lots of knowledge and information. Thank you, my friend. All the best.🙏
Mizrable! New word for me! Excellent video
EHX have got a guitar effects box which emulates sitar, known as 'Ravish Sitar'. Tip for the most authentic sound is to turn 'Q' control down to zero [as is set to highest value by default]. But just like real sitar, it has to be told key AND scale in order for sympathetic strings to be in tune. Bhairav (ie. Double Harmonic Major, one of the main scales I play in); is also one of the preprogrammed scales already on there, shown as 'exotic'.
That is an option , but Danelectro , the famous guitar brand , has something called an electric sitar. It is basically a guitar but it has a bridge that touches the strings, giving it a texture similar to the sitar.
i want a sitar so bad
I saw you playing Thursday afternoon, when you were finished and taking a break I came up and said you sounded great.. I always thought it was a nice sounding instrument… guess the first time I heard it was on Norwegian Wood. I play a little guitar. This seems way more complicated. Good job
Great vid. I am not a musician I just like listening. I learned a lot thanks for posting.
Thanks Jim!
Thanks for video, I learn a lot
I never understood why the tuning pegs are placed like that
Mizraab-le. hahahah hilarious. Subscribed.
Do you have some original sitar music I could use in a film I'm making? I love your music. You rock!
Hi thanks! Yes I have a lot of original sitar music in many different styles. What are you looking for? Please check out some of my many vids of original music.
Please explain how people play guitar songs on sitar, i m a new student, i tried to convert guitar tabs into sa re ga ma but it didnt worked please reply
Sitar is basically a monophonic instrument when it comes to melody so guitar tabs are hard to translate. Think in terms of the basic melody of the song with Sa = tonic note. Playing songs on sitar also has to be looked at in terms of Western key signature also depending on what Sa your sitar is tuned to: C#, D or sometimes I will tune to C. Good luck!
@ thank you for reply can you please make a detailed video explaining the same
Mizrable 🤣 great video!
I'm a mauritian indian culture
I am from india
hi! Nice to see you!
Thankyou
The girl at 0:31 is beautiful and looks like a goddess playing music 😍
Its heartbreaking for me that I'm from India and can't find any guru who can teach me Sitar, although there are many people here who teach Guitar (nothing against them I love that instrument too) but it's sad to see my country following the path of degeneracy. 😞
The problem is because: 1) Sitar tuning is very difficult 2) Ragas are improvisational unlike western music 3) Ragas are far harder to master
Which city do u live in?
"MizrAble" haha! badum, tssss…. Say, what kind of sitar is that you're playing here?
It is an unknown maker most likely from the 1970's. It is one of my favorite sitars, i found it on eBay about 15 years ago for $90, from an estate in Seattle.
@ Wow, that's a STEAL!
"makes you feel mizrable....." :0
Should be a nightmare to tune it
