Ragas on guitar - experimental
Hi,
This is one of pure Indian classical Raga application on Acoustic guitar. I recorded this piece along with Tabla (Indian percussion instrument).

Very interesting indeed! Amazing dexterity...and good feel. I enjoyed it...
I know nothing about Ragas, but it sounds as if it is sitting on that one chord all the time...and you are extending the melody a bit?
All the same, it was interesting to hear you attack it Monk.

I was expecting to hear more droning strings. The guitar works well for that kind of music.

I have always enjoyed raga music, and it was fascinating to hear it played on acoustic guitar, a first time for me. Very enjoyable, thank you. You are obviously a very accomplished player, I am sure Western style finger-picking is no problem to you.

That was great, a refreshing change for Western ears. I know that John McLaughlin was relatively successful when he played Indian music with his group Shakti. Jimmy Page also played what he called his CIA music which was music influenced by Celtic, Indian and Arabic influences.

Yes, McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra were great. 'Birds of Fire' is a classic. Loreena McKennit uses a lot of Indian music.

Hi friends,
Its great to have people like you with me & their quality opinion.
I learnt Sitar - Indian classical instrument, Its then when I started implementing & practicing sitar repertoire on guitar. It was tough initially but I focussed on rewards.
The interesting part of my career is when I started transcribing RAGAS on staff notations & it is something what I am looking forward to sharpen more in coming future.

Guitarmonk,
Yes, the sitar is a wonderful instrument. I have a number of CD's of Indian music. I had read somewhere that there are tones/notes on it that you can't play on the guitar since they are higher on the scale? Something about being almost inaudible to the conscious mind but the unconscious mind can hear them?

Very Good Guitarmonk. I've been fooling around with a DADGAD tuning on my guitar to simulate a Sitar and I love it.

The basic thing that I feel necessary to play any raga is good command on the scales, besides good control & coordination of right & left hand & understanding of RAGA feel.
Also there are many things more but in order to apply RAGAS on guitar one must have a good fingering & lead capacity.
