south eastern Delta jam

[maiseyferret]

The other guy is playing a 'Sarod', his name is Soumik Datta. Absolute genius!

[33point1]

whose pickin der banjer her'?

[leapoffaith20]

What kind of person dislikes a video like this? A cunt is my guess.

[skiddy619]

I love the little riff he plays on the sarod between 0:29 and 0:34 it sounds so beautiful I can just keep listenin to that one part all day and not get bored of it

[benpine1]

Two people are banjo purists.

[incongra]

The talented gentleman playing the sarod is Mr. Soumik Datta.

[dragonkid97]

@incongra and the long haired talented man is bill bailey

[pronoob1983]

watch?v=qv-_7f2UyJI

[spottywolf]

He is evidence for the existence of the Greek Gods! Only if his father was Apollo could he be this good!

[RipAndCompromise]

Liam LIAM!! YOUR BOUNCING UP AND DOWN ORGASMICLLY!!

STOP IT!!!

[FatherFizz]

This is especially incredible when stoned.

[FatherFizz]

I actually have a slight man-crush on the guy playing the Sarod. He's just utterly fucking cool.

[Fex13]

@FatherFizz I concur!

[JacobMorrisNinetyTwo]

haha, I just love how much fun these guys are having... the dude with the Sarod is clearly loving the whole jam :P

[druminirish83]

one the best performers alive

[lickstickly]

one person disliked this?!!!

[FatherFizz]

@lickstickly There had to be one. Simply because everybody else liked it. ¬¬

[playgirlc]

@FatherFizz - i think their finger mustve slipped....

[ComedyLove28]

Just unbelievable...

The man is a genius. I know people do slate him. But the only way I can see it is jealousy.

He has brains far beyond the capacity of anyone I know and he is so humble with it!

I saw him in Edinburgh, his shoe broke and he decided to have a full blown conversation with it on stage. Ad lib has had a new meaning for me since then...

[gearsofwarmad2]

Whats that banjo song?

[azza061294]

@gearsofwarmad2 its from the film deliverance and i think its just called dueling banjos :)

[eaxconsole]

[ripper3707]

Could you upload the first song on the scene after this. Its the folk one, he plays it on the bazooki.

[mysouliscolouredpink]

such good fun! bill bailey's genius and indian music are a rather eargasmic combination, I believe.

[Andyjzr]

Can't say I care which film it comes from, it just makes me smile and feel happy. Love it.

[Jam2Evos]

What is this song? I wanna learn it so i can amuse my friends and have a my own jam. Bill Bailey is AWesome

[wayne110]

[KJGould]

Happy New Year!

[tomb1272]

he rules

[ubuntubwoy]

I saw the sarod player Soumik Datta at the Barbican as part of the London Jazz Festival with tabla, guitar, bass and saxaphone players. The band was called Samay and they were amazing!

[peterb9911]

and again at 3:31

[CCNuck]

Soumik Datta you, sir, are both really talented and ridiculously cute. :P

[princessnala01]

does anybody know the name of the guy playing the sitar???????

[cheggerspop]

His name is Soumik Datta and the instrument is a sarod, rather than a sitar :D

[dewi555]

Brilliant

[gamezx]

Anyone else notice the eastenders theme creeping in at 3:10 =P

[braindeaddoug]

sanard player rocks....

[Frazavre]

I LOVE this clip (and of course the show), it makes me smile and feel a lot better. Peace!

[durge12]

duelling sitars! brilliant!!

[xPWNATARDx]

This is an amazing piece of work!

[MrAvenged]

Fucking tune.. how boring would Britain be with music like this?

[ostryjak]

The guitar is a Rogue Sitar Guitar - I have the same instrument - even the same colour.

[ripper3707]

Do you mean Bill's because Soumik's is a Sarod

[cilgrug]

this is a brilliant version of the Duelling Banjos from the film Deliverance

[airsoftguitardrum900]

it is indeed

[Andyjzr]

It's good but not a match when comparing to the Duelling Banjos from the film you mention. Enjoyable all the same.

[AuroraMoonfruit]

This is such utter genius I dunno what else I can say.

[aulus7]

Bill Bailey's instrument is an electric sitar , basically an electric guitar with a sitar-style bridge and 13 resonator strings (you can see them at the top of the guitar body if you watch closely). The body is hollow to help the resonance. It is what the '60s bands used for sitar sounds. He is definitely not using any effects. (I know this because I have one of these instruments myself - it's fab!)

[Tonymount]

Not Sitar. It's called a Sarod

[maccactm]

i wanna get this!!!

its like...wow

[iamthestudd]

Bills part is easy to learn by ear.

[DashH90Three]

Bill bailey is amazing. And this is epic.

[azariah316]

i want that sitar guitar

[jawide626]

its more effects pedals than the actual guitar (if it is bill baileys guitar you're on about not the indian mans)

[azariah316]

A guitar store that i go to had one of these guitars, i played it and it had sitar written all over it. it sounds just like a sitar

[jawide626]

oh fair enough, it just seemed to be more a case of effects pedals to me.

my bad!

[mythicaljake]

I'd doubt it, he's playing an electric sitar as opposed to a regular guitar. That thing makes a sitar noise on its own.

[HenazShellard]

amazing stuff

[ThePalaeontologist]

Hypnotic...

[hecticmum78]

This is amazing absolute genius love it !!
