I didn't use sheet music to make this video, or any of my other videos for that matter. I've never taken lessons on sitar and I DEFINITELY do not consider myself a sitar player.
I just figured out how to play this song by ear, and played the melody using only one string.
i think that this position does not allow you to utilize the sitar correctly for maximum effect, that could effect the entertainment value of your performance, also may appear disrespectful to an instrument considered extremely divine to some.
I was holding it that way because it is missing most the top strings. I played the melody using just 1 string, which meant that I needed to stretch very far between some of the notes.
so awesome! I'm trying to learn Norwegian Wood on the uke but I'm afraid it won't have the effect I'm hoping for when played alone... I love the sitar in this though
Yea, the way that I am playing it one uke in this video would be quite lonely without the other instruments. I am just playing the straight chords, which are quite repetitive.
My advice is to try and find variations of the chords which you can use to give it more movement than straight chords.
Well the real fact is that many youtubers do Beatles Covers....so the fact that many multi-trackers do is water under the bridge.
Personally I'm not a fan of digital effects, I try to do as little post editing as possible. I much prefer hearing the natural sound directly from the instruments.
Nice! You look like Dan Akyroyd.

Oh that's a shame. So I'm guessing the only place for me to obtain and learn a sitar is somewhere in South Asia.

Very nicely done. I want to learn to play sitar. Also is your capo on the 2nd or 3rd fret?
@xXTheHunterX360Xx
You can buy a sitar online. try amazon.

So many multitrackers do Beatles covers - cool!
Yours sounds nice! Maybe you could do a little more post editing like EQing, panning, dynamic compression, etc. to further improve the audio.
