thank you so much for the tabla lesson, I mst agree its dificult to find a tabla player who makes a good teacher. My tabla teacher lives in another state so its difficult to hook up with him very often, I do hope you post lesseon 2,3, and so on you are a very gifted teacher, Thank you, thank you, thank you,,,

Hello. You have a very good video. but as a little suggestion: you may want to add a mute on the outer rim of the syahi on the "Na" stroke.

"Na" without the mute creates a very unappealing resonance and utilizing it in such a way will cause stresses in taals. But otherwise, good video. Keep it up.

wher's yer reply .. clever guy?

[psxdumy]

@AmitSingh92 yeah, please do. i'm having a hard time finding the right youtube tabla teacher. they all teach differently so i don't know who's right. doesn't it depend on what school/region/gharana/baj or is that a thing of the past?

@PammiChand To clarify this, make sure you place the ring finger tip on the very edge of the syahi (black spot), just touching it. That will "mute" the sound.

this is still the best explanation of the tabla on the whole internet. everything else is like so advanced and not explained well. please post more
