These video courses are a unique resource for adapting Indian Classical Music to the guitar. The knowledge I am able to present here is largely thanks to my Gurus Roopa Panesar and Shakir Khan who both play sitar. They have provided much of the raw material and I have used my experience as a guitarist, teacher and sitar student to develop the techniques and stylistic choices to suit this beautiful and powerful style of playing.

    I knew George. He developed his indian style greatly towards the end of his short life. Playing on a tiny fender guitar some very fast lines can be heard on his posthumous album. I actually played or tried to play the sitar on within you and without you. George got the giggles watching me struggle to hold it.

    I just found this and have been into sitar music since I was quite young. I used to use a lot of open tunings and figured out a playstyle that sort of worked, but not quite. I've owned an actual sitar but it was a bit much with the moving frets and so many strings. I had a Ravish Sitar pedal and it just didn't have the resonance. I got a Danelectro Baby Sitar and the bridge is near impossible to get all the strings sounding right. This idea of using chikari strings on the guitar is a revelation for me. Going to set up a guitar like that. Thank you!

    Hello yes I've tried that a bit and one or two others use that approach. But I think replacing the two low strings get a much richer sound and you can play with much more freedom. Using the top string as a single chikari will always be a bit limited, but may get some interesting results with experimentation.

    Hey man! Great video... I am a student of Indian classical music and also play guitar. This is a great video, cool techniques to make your guitar sound like Sitar. But what will really help someone to play guitar sound more like Indian instrument is some basic knowledge of how Indian scales work. For example, Indian classical music has different scale (ragas) and every scale has a particular movement of notes or musical phrases and dominant landing notes. Also some notes are not meant to be played in a scale. If people can learn couple of Indian scales, it will be very easy for them to grasp what is happening with other scales. Otherwise it's just Western music playing on Sitar. But I don't want to take any credit away form your work here. It is a great video and hardly I have heard anyone on guitar which is sounding so close to Sitar.

    You can order single strings from a lot of websites. This is a UK one that might deliver to India. Otherwise look for an equivalent product that can deliver to your address. www.andertons.co.uk/ernie-ball-single-plain-string-8-eb1008?gclid=CjwKCAjwiMj2BRBFEiwAYfTbCmYk4C8knoynme_6b6lScFKtv75-zIyD79Z-J3DErPQA1Qr8RcnF4xoC1WAQAvD_BwE

    Interesting! Thanks for all your content explaining these techniques. It's quite niche but for people like me who have an interest in Indian classical music and only have access to a guitar it really opens up some fun things to experiment with! One question - what are your thoughts in playing this technique with a slide? They make slide rings now (e.g. Black Mountain ring slide) that you can use on only one string while keeping your other fingers free. It might have a nice effect on the sound not hearing the frets with this technique?

    Thank you very much, I've never really taken to slide but I have seen some players get great results in this kind of music. I chose to focus on bending more taking inspiration from the sitar directly. I have played alot with Manish Pingle with is one the greatest Slide guitarists of India, you might like him I expect. He plays Mohan Veena like a lap slide type of guitar.

    In this video I remember I was just going direct into the amp. But the two extra high strings are in unison so they sound like they have some chorus but that is just a natural effect. In other videos and performances I'm only using reverb, a little compression and a tiny bit of boost just to add some body and sustain to the notes. But this guitar has a special character that makes a difference I feel. Check out this pedal demo if you are interested. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXxs18Olmsybobw.html

    Hi and thanks for your comment. To start with have you learnt altered modal scales? Have a look at melodic and harmonic minor mode families. To learn raags it's more about the ascending and descending structures and phrasing concepts within these scales. But I think just learning the altered scales will be enough for you to start applying them to that kind of music.

    It is essentially standard tuning but the low E and A have been swapped for high strings like the chikari strings like on a sitar. 6th D - 8. 5th D - 8. 4th D - 28. 3rd G - 18. 2nd B - 14. 1st E - 11 The top 4 strings are from an 11 set. You could use 10 set gauges. But I find that the G-string works much better for bending if it's a thicker string. It actually allows you to get more pitch range before you run out of bending space on the fretboard. If you don't have the chikari strings then just 'drop D' tuning (DADGBE) will work to give you a drone. But you won't be able to play the chikari patterns

Thanks

    Hi sorry it's taking a while to reply to this. If your you're playing in the key of G then D will sound fine on the Chikari strings because that is the fifth note in the key of G. This is actually how we end up playing some raags with Ma in the drone. Like Malkauns and Bageshree. Essentially the relationship between in G as the tonic and D, is Sa and Pa just like you'd have in the drone. You don't really have the option of of tuning them to G because they would be very tight and might stand out too much. Because the extra tension on the string makes them a bit louder and boulder sounding. To create the drone sound is actually a tampura app on the phone. You might be able to find a sample sometimes from different website to download but an app is fine. I've never used the ravish sitar pedal I think it sounds a bit too gimmicky to be honest. You might like to know that in this video I'm just going to wrecked into the amp with no pedals. If you're interested more in what kind of pedals I do use to enrich the sound you could watch this video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXxs18Olmsybobw.html

    Huh, I’ve been thinking about trying that type of string setup for a more sitar sound. But I was thinking of using a double neck for sympathetic strings and adding something near the bridge to make it buzz. I was even thinking about adding an 7th string in course to the six string neck to make it even more like a sitar.

I was thinking of tuning it as EADGCF (all 4th tuning) and then tuning the course strings to BEADGC (all 4th a 5th lower harmony). That way it has every diatonic note at least once for the resonance.

I have looked at the Raagini boxes but hard to find reliable suppliers, also used an phone/ tablet app called 'Rhythm with Tabla on Android which is moderately ok on a line in, but feel a proper box/pedal is better. Any ideas? Also what is your opinion on the Ravish sitar pedal by Electro-Harmonix? Liked and subbed.

    The drone should be set with Sa and Pa. Just experiment to see if it sounds better with the first or second string as either Sa or Pa. Normally the first thing would be lower in Pitch and that's the one that you would set to Pa. If you're in the key of G that would be notes G and D. Also just so you know if you're playing different chords they won't sound the same with the drone. They will sound more like slash chords or extensions held over the the root note of G, that the drone is is fixing your ear upon musically. He's often end up sounding better to use just the top three or four strings on a guitar. Then you don't get clashes or muddiness between the lower notes on the guitar and the drone.
