oh, and ..
Mp3 downloads of my Teacher

[manavk]

awesome - please share

[dantheartisan]

Manavk, the Tanpura sound. Is that your instrument, an electronic device, or some one we don't see playing Tanpura?

You videos are my favorite.

[manavk]

Thank you It's an electronic device; Its sole purpose is to play back the Tanpura sound endlessly . It can be tuned to match the scale you are using.

Check out Raag Durga by Deepak Kshirsagar on Indian Classical Guitar (unable to link video here)

[bluetailskink]

Very good. Reminds me of a chinese pentatonic scale. Which do you prefer esraj or dilruba? Thanks

this Shabaad was written by Guru Arjun Dev Ji (5th Sikh Guru), lyrics are as: GUR JAISAA NAAHE KO DEYV satgur mayraa baymuhtaaj. My True Guru is totally independent. satgur mayray sachaa saaj. My True Guru is adorned with Truth. satgur mayraa sabhas kaa daataa. My True Guru is the Giver of all. satgur mayraa purakh biDhaataa. ||1|| My True Guru is the Primal Creator Lord, the Architect of Destiny. ||1|| gur jaisaa naahee ko dayv. There is no deity equal to the Guru. ...

@galatabjk Harmtatla mentioned the name.

Dudes who r wearing this headwear are not smurfs at all.

(kids are so creative calling names) Cutting the hair is not allowed, there is only one 9od, no matter how many faces he shows.

Find out more to educate yourself.

I wil see, even study more of Manavk's clips to educate my western ear in the "arts of the missing tones"

(the west has only the black and white notes: -\)

(took me about 3 yrs to get here and thank Manavk for the vids)
