Love You To (intro - draft)

[WeeBeenie]

at 0:41 you play another note but doesn't matter you are fantastic :)

[maxmismetti]

@WeeBeenie thank you!

[dealbahdz]

Hey this is good but with respect I'm telling you that your siting position isn't the right one, and I'm not sure but I think that you were playing with a pick and not with a mizrab well, just a positive observation

[maxmismetti]

@dealbahdz Indeed, my seating is wrong, but I'm playing with a mizrab. Of course it's all very amateurish since this was my 4th or 5th day with the instrument.

[The61m3]

Awesome! :D

[Alienpubes]

is this just a standard sitar? what tuning is it in?

[maxmismetti]

@Alienpubes Standard. Tuning is posted on a comment reply I made here about a year ago.

[Alienpubes]

@maxmismetti what about the tablatures.

[maxmismetti]

@Alienpubes I only play by ear. Never heard about tablatures for sitar.

[Alienpubes]

@maxmismetti oh. Was it easy to tab out? And does this sitar have...(i don't know what their called) a big round ball thing at the top of the head?

[maxmismetti]

@Alienpubes It was average... took me a while to figure out some of the notes were played by pulling harmonics rather than hitting a regular note. And yes, this is a double-toomba sitar (altough I'm not sure it was attached to it when I made this video).

[Alienpubes]

@maxmismetti what does that mean if you have a double toombah? What would a normal sitar sound like without one? Can you buy and add one on there?

[maxmismetti]

@Alienpubes The second one just gives you a louder, fuller sound. You can only add this extra one if the sitar has the placeholder for you to screw it in, at the end of the neck.

[Alienpubes]

@maxmismetti alright. Thanks a lot man!

[marcusburnett22]

holy cow. Spot on.. good job man!

[maxmismetti]

@marcusburnett22 Thanks!

[Alienpubes]

holy shit that was amazing!

[Chris15guitarra]

amazing!!!

[DarkNaomi]

Very nice playing on the sitar. I really want a sitar so bad I just love the way it looks and sounds. :)

[rafaeltcastro]

cara, que foda!

muito massa mesmo!

[maxmismetti]

Valeu!

[robdobbler]

Perfect, nice to hear it played properly..

[fretburner08]

the only good video of this on youtube. Thanks for posting.

[maxmismetti]

Thanks!

[alonxo]

please can you tell me in which key do you tune each string? thanks

[maxmismetti]

I tuned the sympathetic string in a chromatic C scale, but starting from G, (one before the middle C):G, A, B, C (piano middle C), D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D.

To play the intro I ignore that first D, as I can't even reach it properly.

The playing strings:

F (below the middle C on the piano), C (1 octave under the middle C), G (same as a G on a bass string), C (two octaves under the middle C), G (same as a guitar G string), C (middle C) and C (an octave above the middle C)

[alonxo]

thanks man, also can you make a video in which you show how does it sounds each of the main strings, I mean, I've got a sitar myself but I can't manage to tune the main strings as you can. Please excuse my english...I am from Peru XD

[maxmismetti]

Hola alonxo. I'll try to make that video for you! No need do excuse for the english, yo soy de Brasil!

[polsitar]

hey man, if u need any sitar assistance, lemme know . Paul

[polsitar]

thx!

Love to George... like your clip, nice sounding sitar.

If u want to develop proper technique and i can be of any help lemme know :-)

firstly... seating position and wearing of mizrab (wire pick).

I'm sure you would do well!

p.s. chromatic scale is every semi-tone, i.e c, c#, d, d#, e, f, f# etc...

PEACE

[patrikingelsten]

Wtf i dont understad it. Can you just tell what notes from low to high please! :)

[maxmismetti]

The tuning I described above is already low to high.

[gulippe]

tá tudo errado, ô bixô!!!

[maxmismetti]

Na mosca, véio! :-)
