    Learning Sitar  — 2 weeks ago

    I just bought a sitar, and although I can use it in a number of “western” ways, it would be nice to know some basics about how it is normally played

    This one here is my life long goal!  — 2 months ago

    Now where the hell can you get sitar lessons??

    Best instrument ever!  — 6 months ago

    I love the sound of the sitar! I’ve always wanted to learn to play an instrument, but stayed away from guitar, becuase everybody learns to play the guitar, so I want to learn sitar, but they’re so expensive :S.

    Worth doing!

    Definitely worth doing! I only got it a few weeks ago, but I can play basic stuff. So relaxing, a real mental workout. Indian music theory is very different from western.

    Went to India, bought my sitar and I'm off!  — 1 year ago

    I’ve been playing guitar for years, and had a sitar a while back, but it wasn’t much good/couldn’t keep tune. Now I finally have a decent sitar from Rikhi Ram’s place in Delhi. It’s where George Harrison bought his. I can now play Norwegian Wood, no hassles, and also the riff from ‘She Sell’s Santuary’ by The Cult. Not exactly classical ragas, but a start. I want to play Anada Shankar type stuff, kind of wig out psychadelia. Anyway, here’s a link to Rikhi Ram’s, top store & nice guys for anyone who is after a good quality sitar. (pic is of my new sitar, which is a bit smaller than my old ‘regular’ one, has proper machine heads on the main strings, and a pick up! It sounds great acoustically, and is easy to plug in and go crazy with…)

    If anyone has some sitar tab/music, please can you send me a link. Cheers!

    Still Learning =)  — 1 year ago

    Worth doing!

    So the last few weeks of learning have been great. I’ve really enjoyed learning from my guru. I still have so much to learn. This next month we will begin learning ragas. After I learn my first raga, I think I will mark this as “done”

    Worth doing!

    Going to my first Sitar lesson today!

    Hey, I already play the guitar  — 2 years ago

    how hard can it be? And it makes that cool sound.

    Wonder where I can get one? And find someone who knows how to play to show me the basics?
