Is that background hum from the Sarod or something else?

[sarod2k]

It is from a drone instrument called Taanpura.

I recommend learning rags on vocal first and train your ear to intervals, this will help you a lot in determine correct shrutis... knowing the positions like this is very helpful, but remember the ear is also a fool proof!

Fantastic class. I wish more people interested in Indian music watched this demo. Although they love Indian music, some people are not aware of its melodic subtleties. Thank you so much for uploading this clip.

where can I get a good quality Sarod?

@james34565 Dilruba has frets, right? If you want a lower note on such an instrument, the only way to do it is to fret one semitone lower and bend that note higher. In other words, it's practically impractical.

that's so amazing...I think I'll try that with a bottleneck on my guitar^^ :D

[s1avache]

i think on fretless instruments (even fretless guitar) that kind of music can be played.

But I agree that sound on video is just magic

[sitarmaestro]
