after 6 months of sarod picking everyday for a couple of hours, i can tell you all guys.. sarod muting is indeed possible and cool as fuck and you can still mute metal stuff without having to anchor your wrist, it still builds a little bit of tension but im working on it :)

Thanks Pebber

@CatGameDaiyE english has spellings that mean 2 different things.

Wound strings are wrapped .

[CatGameDaiyE]

@skruvmaejsel What does he mean by wounded strings? Or am I reading that wrong 'wound' as like an injury instead of 'wound' like how a string is wrapped?

[pebberbrown]

@skruvmaejsel You are not trying hard enough.

[skruvmaejsel]

Can you sitar mute on wounded strings too?

because i can't find that "soft spot" on wounded strings.

I think my sound is very gritty....I want a smoother sound. Sarod does not sound.....good. Well, any kind of lead stuff sounds bad. I want to sound smoother...more fluid and have a better sound for sarod....

[pebberbrown]

Sound is so subjective - I dont know what kind of sound you are after and what yo like to hear. No two people like the same music. What do you want to sound like and what problems are you experiencing?

Absolutely! Like I've seen/heard you say a few times before: Practice Sarod picking for a year, or so, in order to get a proper understanding of this technique.

It takes patience and committment, HOWEVER, in just approximately 3 MONTHS, I can notice a difference in my timing, accuracy and LACK OF FATIGUE!!! No more tensing up for me (I hope) =D

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE HIGH DEF STUFF TO BEGIN!!!!

Well.....I have a 1959 plexi....but I can't take it out of the road case without worrying I am going to fuck it up lol....Could you offer any advice on getting a good sound? Perhaps I will buy a bigger amp to gig with....

Yea I know that did sound like a harmonic minor huh? I love that scale and phrygian dominant as well.
