  • @udumbel shut up jackass.....this is really great what she is doing....go back to india, or wherever, and stay in your ivory tower

  • Yup! This was the Gat in Todi..but WHERE IS THE IMPROVISATION??? Your video banner says "How to Play Basic Sitar : Improvisation on a Sitar" ..Gat can never be improvisation.Gat is the basic composition as you were saying,but 'improvisation' is called 'BEESTAR.' ..Either change the banner of your video or change your teachings..Get a proper Guru/Mentor in Sitar before teaching others.

  • thank you

  • Thanks , these are helpful!
