Christopher Hale

Classical sitar, Bollywood covers on guitar, Rock fused with Indian melodies - this channel will be the meeting of the musical styles of America, India, and Nepal, the three countries where I spent my childhood and adult years.

    @@SitarToronto oh wow: Chris Hale! you probably don't know me, but I have known of you since I was 12, as my family lived in your family home in AP! I saw your Nepali beautiful song with old video footage- so nostalgic and gorgeously done! I'm actually working on my next video which will be a very personal reflection on how growing up as an MK influenced me to be who I am today (teaching mythology as a yoga teacher). your Nepali is impeccable; I am SO impressed! and Hindi too; wow! what a gift AP was, for if I hadn't had time there, I would have been another MK without real language or indepth cultural knowledge, but even just 2 yrs of immersion there changed the trajectory of the rest of my life! so fun to have found you today!

    Simply beautiful - the music, narrative and the visualls! And so very evocative with deft use of the kharaj or base strings strings as well! And, what an apt tribute to the great Pandit Nikhil Banerjee! I feel moved to have discovered a worthy disciple of Panditji's music. Pandit Christopher Hale - my heartfelt salutations to you. This recording was 8 years ago. I look forward to more in times ahead. 🙏🙏🙏

    Thank you so much Vasudev ji. The journey since 8 years ago has been to find my own voice in this music. It is lifelong journey. I tried with the Pilu recording from the live concert that I recently uploaded. I thank God that this music is so difficult as it gives me something to keep my mind occupied and my soul humble for the rest of my life.

    Christopher, Thank you very much for this video that I just stumbled upon. Lots of great information here that I will use to tune my new Sitar that I just purchased. I have been a guitar player for 50+ years and, as you probably already know, this is a different animal all together, but I enjoy it. Not only have I enjoyed this video, I have also subscribed to your great channel. I saw many other videos that will be of help to me. Thank you again. Information like this is kind of hard to come by, especially how well you explain each and every step.
