Today, first time in my life I touched the sitar and today my guruji taught me basics of it, like sitting positions (बैठक) and how to hold a sitar, and then he taught me 7 swaras on it. It was literally mesmerising. It is my soul instrument and I can't express in words how beautiful the moments were....

I’m buying my sitar tonight it’s time

GG

[@janedoee2278]

Such a beautiful instrument that I definitely want to pursue.

[@IsaacWale2004]

Such a wonderful-sounding instrument...

[@marcaopozza-mendes1397]

This persuaded me to acquire a Sitar

[@kalyansapsd1]

Ok…the problem for me starts at that sitting position…😂😂

[@RumbleFish69]

Man, I was thinking the same thing! As soon as I saw that, I was like "what? There are sitting instructions?"

[@kalyansapsd1]

@@RumbleFish69 Actually my guitar teacher used to instruct us about the body position upright and how the instrument is held but thats it…in the case of sitar, we have to sit on the floor and I have a problem in my legs that I cannot sit on the floor for long time …and the way he folded them is quite difficult for me😂. But listening to this instrument is quite an experience and I guess its worth the pain

[@RumbleFish69]

@@kalyansapsd1 Wow! That is an added dimension. That really did not occur to me but I can see how that would be something to consider. I am in the process of shopping for one and I also have a teacher lined up. I already play guitar but I want to learn this instrument as well. I thank you for the clarification, but I won't let it discourage me. Thanks!

[@HereComesWheely]

Yeah same, i struggle with sitting cross legged or sat on my legs w/o it causing pain 🙈

[@bravingbrivatebrian]

I love how every instrument besides tablas has lessons online. Fuck tablas

[@SikanaEnglish]

I will finally edit the video of tablas we shot begining of next year ! :-)

[@sowmya2217]

Do I need to learn carnatic music for learning this instrument

[@sagnikadhya3425]

This instrument can be played in different styles or as we call , Gharanas.
There are many sects.. so you either have to learn northindian classical or carnatic. What actually matters is whether you have a good teacher and enough practice

[@yungk2_xs]

like if ur here for the beatles
