Hindustani Raagas on Veena: Episode-1: SindhuBhairavi

I am posting this again after removing the video/audio mismatch in the original post.

This is the start of another series where in I will be playing Hindustani Raagas on the Veena. I will also explore other world music influences where appropriate to discover how we can rediscover boundaries without compromising on the core Indian values in our music. This is again a homage to the greatest inspiration in my life, Veena S. Balachander whose restless spirit of experimentation has profoundly influenced my world and life.

I really enjoyed it. Sir, did you make any modifications to Veena? I have a veena with me. I used to learn it when I was a young. Now I want to learn it again but in Hindustani style as my interest is more oriented towards it. I'm trying to play some hindustani music for some time now. As my knowledge of swaras is very weak I struggle to identify the notes. Is it possible to start afresh with a hindustani teacher teaching and me following it on Veena?

He has used Sitar technique in Veena which is not easy task. I like the way he mixed hindustani and little western style at 3.27 till 3.42
