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.

George Harrison is proud of you
😆 I hope he is smiling down on me. I was a Beatles fan before anything else. ❤
Is it just me or does he look a bit like George too?

Mind blowing raga guitar.
I remember my forlorn love for Indian Classical music.❤️
Thanks for watching 🙏❤🙏
I was really looking something like this... Even though being a classical vocalist, I was always fascinated and wanted to play the Indian licks and taans on a Guitar... Thank you so much for amazing tips 🙏🏻🎵😊 Really helped a lot... :)
Thanks for watching. A few of my guitar students started as Classical vocalists. It really gives you a great foundation to then approach any instrument 😀
Impressive adaptation of Indian classical music on the guitar! Thank you 🙏
My pleasure 😊
As much as I like blues, I have overdosed on it recently and looking for something a bit different. Great video and I’ll check your channel out.Thanks.
Thanks very much it's always refreshing to try different style sometimes
Gotta say, this is pure gold!
Thanks a lot
Dude, very good.
Thanks 😊
Fabulous, loved the video and the techniques. As a sitar player, I'm amazed by how well you have dissected the various aspects of the Indian music, which I've taken for granted.
Glad you enjoyed it! I guess I've had to think about these thing more to transfer them to guitar. Thanks for watching
Great stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it
Please will you play charukesi raga on a peddle steel guitar
😄😃 Beautiful ...very beautiful 😃💕🇮🇳
Thank you so much 😀
I AM INDIAN, FROM INDIA.
Sir, please, What is different between guitar processor and guitar synthesizer? Have you used guitar processor or guitar synthesizer?
Please create special vedio.
I've never used one and I don't know much about them. But I understand that they use the frequency vibration of each string and reproduce that as a pitch or collection of pitches. Then it is projected and heard through the simulated voice or tone that you have selected with the synthesizer.
Hmm pretty good
I tried
This is super! Ty 🙏🏼🎶👍🏼
Thank you 😊
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!

Great
Top lad. Where did you learn your Indian music knowledge?
Thanks for watching and for asking this question. I've had several teachers and colleagues over the years who have helped me piece things together bit by bit. In the last few years I've had alot of guidance from Roopa Panesar and Shakir Khan both sitar players. I speak about it in this recent video ua-cam.com/video/p93Vqhuvo94/v-deo.html
Jack can u show me how to use Indian ragas/dissonant with meshuggah type metal...that's my direction....and i play bass
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.
Namaste, Please can you teach the intro that you played here?
Hello there in order to learn that you have to take one of my courses, there's a few different technical considerations involved play that. Have a look at www.indianclassicalguitar.com please feel free to ask any further questions.🎸😊🙏
Superb
Thank you 😊

This is so much awesome ..please upload more vedios .
Do you use any pedals or processors to have that particular tone and sustain ?
Yes more on the way next week. Do you play guitar too? Indian Classical style?
I use a few pedals to get this tone. I will make a tone video in the next week or two and I'll comment about here for you.
@@JackJenningsGuitarist I am from India
Yes I do play guitar . But I have no idea about Indian classical music .Recently I got interested and stumbled upon your channel.. It's very helpful.. Thank you
That's great I'm glad you are enjoying it.
As requested I have just made a video about tone for Indian Classical guitar and the gear I use for this.
ua-cam.com/video/_H8ualji5qY/v-deo.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.
Yeah that sounds like fun
@@JackJenningsGuitarist How would you tune the 12 string neck? I’d ideally like the 12 string neck to still be playable on its own. 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.
cool
Cool
Are all strings tuned to D here
As I’ve seen in other videos?
Check out this video about getting a basic guitar and set up to use. ua-cam.com/video/iBRd1rJqH5U/v-deo.html
Chikari strings to D but what about the other four? DGAD? I didn't hear that
Standard apart from the 5th and 6th strings tuned to D and with gauge 8s.
So DDDGBE - 654321
No need for the Ravish efx pedal,,,,is there anyway to replicate Japanese instruments please please please....
I agree the Ravish efx pedal is a bit over top. As for Japanses Strats they are great if you find a good one. The 80's was a good period for them. But always just choose a guitar based on the vibe you get and the play-ability.
That's the music channel I've been looking for!
Thanks very much glad you found it 😀
NIce!!!!!
Sir strings name plz
Whos change string name sir
I'm sorry I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking about the tuning or strings? They are just regular guitar strings. 🎸
@@JackJenningsGuitarist i am asking string of tuining but your tune sounds is defferent
Which gadget u r using brother
No gadget just plugged straight into the amp 😉. What part of the video were you thinking of or what kind of gadget were you imagining?
What tuning are you in? I’m planning on getting a cheap acoustic to do this with and maybe install sympathetic strings if the chikari string idea isn’t enough.
I'm in standard tuning apart from the Chikari strings. It's definitely work experimenting with. But I would suggest getting a cheap electric guitar to try it with rather than acoustic because to get a feel for these techniques and style it's much better to be able to do strings bands and travel high up the fretboard. This video might be useful ua-cam.com/video/u39WsUSdTAY/v-deo.html
@@JackJenningsGuitarist I am little bit confused about the tuning part. Can you kindly care to explain what is the tuning for each string. That will help me and others a lot i guess. Thanks a lot for the video. It is very inspiring
@@moddagadininene 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.

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.
Why not tune the chikari sa pa
This would be closer to the sound of sitar /sarod chikari set up..
Sab Kuch..you can have the pa lower or higher also.
You could use a twelve string thin g strong to accomplish pa above sa
Yes this could be done. But I prefer to have two Sa's for Chikari because I feel it creates more space and clarity. Also some Raags don't use Pa and I don't think it would work having Ma or Dha replacing Pa in those cases.
Another point is that I think both Chikari strings should be of the same gauge so they blend in with each other creating a more shimmering colour.
Also on sitar the two Chikari strings that are used most prominently are both Sa, unless one chooses to strum more of the drone strings in one go. I prefer the lighter touch and texture of just Sa.
I have been experimenting with one of the Chikari strings being an octave higher, using a kind of clip on fret 12. This would be just like the setup on a sitar where one string has an extra contact point half way along the neck. I hope to feature this on one or two of my guitars in the future.
Thanks for watching and commenting. 👍
@@JackJenningsGuitarist
Do you mean the little clip on of the frets that the kharag pancham tar(bass string ) is usually clipped to after alap?
It would be interesting to hear this.
I am having a luthier design an instrument for me at the moment.
Guitar with chikari and full taraf.
It will be tuned d open dadgad..
The only thing I can not decide is wether or not to have it fretless
@@connorstewart4833 No I mean like the first chikari string on sitar that plays high Sa. But the clip design is similar yes. Good luck with your guitar. I would say go fretted to adopt more of your sitar technique particularly string bending.
@@JackJenningsGuitarist
Do you not think you can bend on fretless...
I have never played fretless ..and cos I play left handed it's not so easy to try one in a shop or whatever
With respect - "sounding" indian is like changing the body of your garbage car to look like a Farrari ..... but will you ever be a Farrari - NO .........But YOU CAN BE ......... if you are a TRUE musician - you will take the time learn to play Ragas in depth - in person.
Yes thank you for your insight. I have many videos and indepth courses about learning Raags using traditional methods passed on by my teachers. But thank you for pointing out the lighthearted tone that this video has.

Thank you what a lovely comment. Everything changed for me after I heard Ravi Shankar and consequently began studying Indian music. ❤
Unlikely. Ravi has probably been reincarnated by now - perhaps as a tonewood tree.

This George Harrison thing is coming up quite often now. It's very amusing :)

Man. This is a great breakdown. Thank you for making this.. I took a Sitar course five years ago and the continuity of playing on a single string with minimal lifting of the finger has stuck with me to this day. I haven’t thought to throw in the chikari strings though. That’s a great idea * I really like you hammer on-slide-bend lick too
Hello thank you for watching and commenting. Interesting to hear you have had the similar experience with the sitar influencing your guitar playing. Best of luck with your music 🙏🎸❤
@@JackJenningsGuitarist what are chichari strings
I just watched a doc called The Cobra Gypsies. Afterwards I'm like how can I use these musical influences on my guitar....along comes this suggestion! Ace stuff :)
That's great glad it found you at a good moment.
1:33 holy fkin shit I jumped my volume was so loud I got scared
I always intuitively played simular to this on my balalaika which has a standard tuning of EEA, which makes sense now lol, i used the E strings as chikari or i played some bass notes on one of them sometimes.
i'm very much into azerbaijani guitar music because of my mom. this is simular
gotta say though this video has exponentially increased my fun. thank you!
Welcome to my feed Jack. So glad that UA-cam sent you my way. Your video has come at a good time. You could be the Justin Sandercoe of Indian guitar on UA-cam. I’m predicting Raga guitar is the next frontier of guitar. Hey, but what do I know?
Thanks very much for watching. I'm glad that you you have a positive vision about the future of Indian music and the guitar.
Great demonstration, I am wondering what's your take on Danelectro coral sitar. When I got it new sympathetic strings were chromatic not sure why, but I attempt to tune them to D pentatonic trying to give sound like surmandal and tuned 6 string to Open D, I like how you switch those 2 strings to unison takari, I will try that on my coral sitar
Really interesting this, thanks. Love the tuning, completely new to me.
Hello there glad you found it interesting
Thank you! Can you tell me one old tradional indian song (with lyrics), which is well known in India, (not religous) and it is not difficult to play?
thanks for the vid - cheers matey . pedals?
Hello. There where no pedals used on this video. But I do use pedals just to boost the clean sound and add some depth. Detailed video about that here ua-cam.com/video/_H8ualji5qY/v-deo.html
To sound more indian you need to pronounce your t:s like d:s... Bad joke. Im a guitarist and a sitar player. I just came here to drop that one.
What musical tuning has guitar ? Sa Ma Sa Pa? Which high of Sa ?
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.
Yes exactly that is why I have made several courses going into great detail about all the key aspects of Indian Classical music such as raags, compositions, playing with tabla, structure of a recital etc. There is much more information on my website www.playleadguitar.net or just on my youtube channel home page.
Thank you for watching and commenting this video.

You are suggesting he does something he has already done .
If you want to like indian style music just grab a sitar or tabla..😂
Brilliant. Thank you.

Hi Gary, awesome playing and thanks for sharing your knowledge. I know you said 8 gauge for the shakair strings but was just wondering do you you light strings or medium for the others? Thanks again

Very interesting and informative, I do have 2 questions as I'm about to record a guitar solo in the key of G with an Indian flavour. 1 Should I have the 2 top strings tuned in D or G? 2 Is it possible to create that drone effect by using normal pedal boxes or do I need to get the Electro-Harmonix Ravish Sitar box? 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.

@@JackJenningsGuitarist Hello, Thanks a lot. I realized also that the note D is also in the key of G but it was good to get that clarified from you. Think I will skip that pedal then and check out what you are using.
Sir how to tune to sitar sound in acoustic guitar
I use I Tabla pro, it has all the Tabla taals and great Tanpura sounds.
Thanks for the video ... what guitar effect/pedal are you using when you play raga on guitar ?
Hello in this video I was not using any pedals. But I have made a video in the past about the set up I use when I do a recital or other videos.
Thanks for the vid
Fabulous! How are you getting the low hum sound in the background?
Hi there glad you like the video. That's just a tampura drone in the background that I've done in the video editor.
It was so much useful❤❤. Just one thing to know, how to get this tone in the guitar. I'm trying it so much with the processor but no help.
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.

I can hybrid pick off the high e to mimic the chichary some. Your concepts certainly help
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.
Thanks for ur prompt reply.plz help me how to get the chikari string of ur specified guage
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.

Hello. Thank you for your prompt reply. I was so taken with the idea that I have purchased a new guitar which I intend to restring as per your instructions. I will use it solely for learning your method. I love Indian music and the thought of being able to reproduce it in some way is very exciting.
I have been playing guitar, self-taught, for just over forty years. I took 'O' level Music at school and I can read music and understand theory, so hopefully that will help. I am really looking forward to getting started. My new guitar is arriving tomorrow.@@JackJenningsGuitarist
Very interesting! I love the chikari string idea.
Yes it's been a massive shift for me and I would highly recommend it 😀thanks for watching and commenting
Is this mod best on a strat or is that just happened to be what you used?
It works fine on any tremelo system but I recommend strats most of all of this style because it's possible to blend well with other Indian instruments and create a slightly more transparent natural tone.
Hi Jack .. How do you block the trem springs (in the back) to keep the chikari strings from going out of tune?
Is this something that one can do oneself, or does it need the attention of a professional luthier or guitar tech ? Will be grateful for any tips for this ..
Best to ask a professional because once the bridge has been locked in place this changes the bridge angle and then the guitar will need to be set up again. But this is a simple modification and shouldn't be expensive. You can do it just by adding all five springs and tightening them up. Or simply adding a block of wood to keep the bridge fixed in position.
Thank you 🙏
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.
That is so cool that you got to play sitar for an actual Beatle
I choose to believe you!
How do you accomplish the drone?
That is the tuning of the low strings to D, with the high strings replacing the low E and A as explained in the video.

@@JackJenningsGuitarist yeah sure, thanks 🙏
Awesome style! Would love to see you explore this style with a 7 or 8 string as potential drones to complement your playing. I image you’d sound lovely on a 12 string as well.

Maybe one day I'll try that yeah
Which is the best siutable electric guitar to play indian classical. Pl advise
Just a Stratocaster with a blocked trem/hard-tail bridge works fine I think. I explained in the video about the blocked trem.
Have you used sitar's strings or are they just normal guitar strings of high gage?
They are just normal guitar strings gauge 8 for the Chikaris
this is so cool. would this put any weird pressure on the neck long term?
Not at all because they are thinner strings with less tension
You could also get an Electro-Harmix Ravish Sitar pedal emulator.
I always wanted to a sitar sound to play the second section of Close to the Edge by YES. Howe started with a guitar sitar then later started using Line 6 emulation.
Which is the best siutable electric guitar to play indian classical. Pl advise
Just a strat of telecaster is good.
Just the 2 strings of E and A are changed? And the other 4 strings DGBE are standard?
Yes that's right. So it's simple to continue playing as normal on the top strings, using the other strings for a drone or rhythmic support.
❤, 🙏🏻🌹❤️
Outstanding information thoughtfully presented. Thanks.
Really appreciate your support 🙏
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.
How to tune a acoustic guitar to sitar sound
This video of mine might help ua-cam.com/video/u39WsUSdTAY/v-deo.html
Sir how can we change the tuning of those chikari strings if we want to play on a different key?
Yes you can tune them how you want. I think down to C and up as far as F would sound ok for that string gauge
Great tips. Is the overall tuning (other than the top 2 d strings) drop down D?
Yes, it is!
I didn't know this is possible
oh yes many things are possible with the guitar
