I really appreciate your effort to introduce tambura and how to play it. Ofcourse i listen to it whenever i wanna read, relax or sleep. It calms down your mind and helps you to focus.

She needs to cut the jibber jabber and play the damned thing! I clicked on this to hear some tambura dammit, not some pasty old hag trying to be the Maharishi!

sure, kneel and pray before the instrument. Is mankind ever gonna wake up and move forward?

@Rightsideup She clearly was fulfilling the requirements laid out for her.

@Rightsideup If you knew anything about ICM, then you'd know that it's all about drone. But, because your command of English is rather poor, you wouldn't grasp that notion, it would be very hard indeed to be able to read that in books about ICM.

I haven't made any jokes, the jokes were all yours, cementing your hillbilly personality. You're done alright, because you couldn't hold up your end of the conversation, you are much too ignorant. You've been shown up here, good.

@99991ray Jealous because I am a multi instrumetalist who plays instruments that make melodies and not a single drone? get educated retard. This will be my last comment as it is painfully obvious you don't play shit. Leave music talk tot he musicians, and keep your recycled dick jokes for the playground.

@Rightsideup That's what I figured, you're just jealous. If you had half of a brain, you'd notice that it's an instructional video. No one expects trailer trash to understand that.

It also does not surprise me that you don't own a tanpura, as it's way too much of a challenge for to play. Leave it to the experts, you are far better off with your hands in your lap and playing with yourself anyway. Less danger to anyone around you.

Have fun playing the skin flute!

@99991ray I looked at the video to hear some fucking tampura! Hell no I don't own one, but I love the sound of em. Unfortunately this bitch didn't touch the damn thing. I have shit tons of videos up dipshit. I am a one man band, feel free to watch them,. though all you're going to do is trash them. Personally, I do not give a fuck, I have a great time making music, not yammering about it and NOT playing a note. Excuse me, I have to get back tot he song I am working on, I actually MAKE MUSIC!

[99991ray]

@Rightsideup Exactly how is she demanding anything from you? You're the one who looked at the video in the first place, you doorknob!

It's you who are doing the whining and the demanding. Seems to me that you are just a jealous

person who either has no tanpura or is too chicken to perform for us on you tube. You probably can't play one, right?

[Rightsideup]

@leftysergeant

She wouldn't shut up long enough to focus! It's an instrument that is begging to be played! Me arguing with a non musician over instruments is like a bare knuckle fighter entering a kung fu tournament. Toodles!

[Rightsideup]

@99991ray Would you like some cheese with your whine?????? Instruments are an extension of the artist! If she is demanding respect to the instrument, she is demanding respect for herself, which makes her an egotistical person!

[99991ray]

@Rightsideup Perhaps your attitude prevents you from hearing properly in the first place. I wonder how it would sound while being shoved up your disrespectful rectal chamber?
