Shruti Demonstration on Sarod - part 1 - Intro & komal Gandhar

[mistrynp]

where can I get a good quality Sarod?

[panchamkauns]

@james34565 Dilruba has frets, right? If you want a lower note on such an instrument, the only way to do it is to fret one semitone lower and bend that note higher. In other words, it's practically impractical.

Such an awesome video series. Thank you for your posting. I adore Indian classical and very much appreciate the videos you have created.

Fantastic class. I wish more people interested in Indian music watched this demo. Although they love Indian music, some people are not aware of its melodic subtleties. Thank you so much for uploading this clip.

that's so amazing...I think I'll try that with a bottleneck on my guitar^^ :D

I recommend learning rags on vocal first and train your ear to intervals, this will help you a lot in determine correct shrutis... knowing the positions like this is very helpful, but remember the ear is also a fool proof!

om shanti

[MrShabinn]

namaste guruji,no offense .i've just played sarod for twice or so..

the points he marked at first are suddha Re and Ga right?but while playing the Re is quiet ahead of the first point,is it komal Re?would anyone let me know?

[tutonline]

todi has komal re and komal ga, I think he does not mention this

[edwardpowellmusic]

I have been intimately involved with ICM for over 20 years, and this is the FIRST time I have heard about shrutis - being explained so intelligently!

THANK YOU GURUJI!

[JesustheLizard]

ohh man. i'm so lost with him talking but it's awesome. I kind of understand

[E3tiger]

Is that background hum from the Sarod or something else?

[sarod2k]

It is from a drone instrument called Taanpura.

Hi, is it possible to play the sarod without growing fingernails? I love to learn to play the sarod but I have very weak fingernails.

[s1avache]

i think on fretless instruments (even fretless guitar) that kind of music can be played.

But I agree that sound on video is just magic

[Danny48912]

Can anybody recommend which to learn first? I am really interested in learning to play sitar or sarod, but I don't know which. Could anybody with a musical background recommend which I should learn first?

[bethells86]

I play both and I am pretty sure my previous music life as a guitar player helped a lot, I picked up Sitar next and then the Sarod. Even though I didn't plan it that way I now know that would be a good progression, Guitar gives total help of the frets, Sitar the same but one can pull the string for other notes but Sarod has no fret, so one needs very good notes(swar) recognition to play.

[edwardpowellmusic]

go for sarod! beleive me :-)

Thank you thank you thank you for this amazing description. No one has taken the pains to educate others about these nuances. This is the painstaking investment the teachers have to make to promote Indian Classical Music. So - Thanks a LOT!
