[justchilnow]

Badshao tussi great ho

[beginnersmind0]

Have you made a cd? I LOVE your playing and would love to have a recording! 3 years...wow.

[tabliya]

Very sincere rendition ! Kudos !

Check out Raag Durga by Deepak Kshirsagar on Indian Classical Guitar (unable to link video here)

[bluetailskink]

Very good. Reminds me of a chinese pentatonic scale. Which do you prefer esraj or dilruba? Thanks

[durrshy]

this Shabaad was written by Guru Arjun Dev Ji (5th Sikh Guru), lyrics are as: GUR JAISAA NAAHE KO DEYV satgur mayraa baymuhtaaj. My True Guru is totally independent. satgur mayray sachaa saaj. My True Guru is adorned with Truth. satgur mayraa sabhas kaa daataa. My True Guru is the Giver of all. satgur mayraa purakh biDhaataa. ||1|| My True Guru is the Primal Creator Lord, the Architect of Destiny. ||1|| gur jaisaa naahee ko dayv. There is no deity equal to the Guru. ...

wow thats beutifal

[harpy1973]

this is really beautiful, thanks for posting

[5oldier5ingh]

what do you keep to keep your israj balanced, i use a tabla bina (tabla ring). maybe its because of the way i sit, i sit cross-legged.

[shabaash]

Very beautiful playing--a nice austere rendition of durga.

[kishorsshah]

I have enjoyed your playing many times. Good luck and keep more postings coming.

[shridanyam]

Very nice!I suggest you upload the same in 'Dynamycdesi'.It is a online talent contest site for people.

[CSTRIKEmE]

sry for my ignorance but Raag Durga is the name of the instrument, the name of the song or the kind of the music?

[raguks]

cool music. thanks.

[Itheprosperone]

Raag Durga is the name for the Raag he is playing. Raags are skeletal outlines for music. Raags dictate the notes used and the general mood of the tune. They are similar to "modes" in western music. There are many "gats" or written melodies in each Raag. The instrument is called a dilruba.

[CSTRIKEmE]

ok thx a lot...

cool music anyway :)

[DaruDadu]

its hindustani classical music...the instrument is esraj and the musical score Durga. hope this helps.

[shopnila]

nice...i also play esraj......

[manavk]

awesome - please share

[akinderreality]

me too, but it doesn't sound like that (meaning I'm not nearly as good as Mr. Manavk)

[Rayhunn]

Hi Manav,

I am from Pakistan. I just wanted to let you know that you work magic with your instrument. I wasnt aware of the beauty of the Esraj prior to watching you play it. I dont quite understand why it doesnt have the same significance as the Sitar, Veena or Sarangi.

Thank you for uploading this video. I know it's been here for a while but I only saw it recently. Wish you all the best.

[Naisarue]

Wow, just wow. So beautiful... you play so wonderfully!! Thank you for showing us such a beautiful performance. It really touches the core of one's emotions...

[sandrabose]

You play very well and are very hundsome ;)

[newsguy1972]

Where do you get this electronic device that sounds like the tanpura?

[TinlealJadesinger]

Wow, so that's what the instrument that plays that enchanting music looks like. Very nice.

[dantheartisan]

Manavk, the Tanpura sound. Is that your instrument, an electronic device, or some one we don't see playing Tanpura?

You videos are my favorite.

[manavk]

Thank you It's an electronic device; Its sole purpose is to play back the Tanpura sound endlessly . It can be tuned to match the scale you are using.

[csoki631]

Quite lovely.

[jammnjigga123]

WOW!!! Sounds Beautiful! Lovn it bro, Great work!!!.

Thank you for posting all these videos! there really very soothing to the ear.

Man we need more sikhs like you who wear the crown loud and proud. You are an inspiration to all of us. Thank you!.

Awesome man! now if you are doing this on request then I have one too. Can you play in Ramkali Raag. I like quite a few shabads from the Ramkali raag and would like to hear the general tone of it.

[disneylover45]

very nice...thnx for sharing

[ENGLISHCYPRIOT]

I wish i could get one of those in England, i have always loved Indian music

[enigma2dejavu]

[galatabjk]

are you muslum??:=) ore indu

[Lemantech]

extremely beautiful instrument..love it so much...

[harmtatla81]

Hes neither! This talented chap is Sikh all the way ;)

[quazamodus]

@galatabjk Harmtatla mentioned the name.

Dudes who r wearing this headwear are not smurfs at all.

(kids are so creative calling names) Cutting the hair is not allowed, there is only one 9od, no matter how many faces he shows.

Find out more to educate yourself.

I wil see, even study more of Manavk's clips to educate my western ear in the "arts of the missing tones"

(the west has only the black and white notes: -\)

(took me about 3 yrs to get here and thank Manavk for the vids)
