Me trying to figure out proper bowing and fretting on my new Esraj. This instrument is a lot more challenging than I anticipated and I literally just picked it up. If there are any other players out there offering constructive criticism, by all means let me know. Enjoy. Peace

  • yeh!

    sounds like beyond hindukush :-)

    to add to wholegreaterthansun: Indians put the thumb up, next to index finger, otherwise, due to the thick neck it hempers the movement of the hand. keep on!

  • Pretty good for trying to just figure the instrument out... from the looks of things you are probably a cellist or violinist (maybe I am wrong)... anyway, you need to change your bow hold to an underhanded hold, second, you might need to re-position the frets, lastly, don't fret the strings, your fingers should hover above the frets but not make contact... All that being said, you sound 10000000 times better than I did when I started
