    Danelectro's 1960's Big Sitar Reissue. Three pickups: bridge, neck and mini-harp, each with their own volume and tone controls. Special bridge for the sitar buzz; mini-harp/sympathetic strings for the odd glissando. I've tuned the mini-harp to a D7sus chord and the six strings to Drop D. These are a lot of fun, especially good with dollops of time effects for some ambient fun.
    For this demo I used a Mesa Triaxis Clean channel model with plenty of Gilmour-esque dual delay and a 'nimbostratus' reverb algorithm. All Axe-FX III Turbo.
    This is the last of roughly 3000 videos that I'll make at the current address. We're moving next week and there will be a new workspace for me that will require some set-up when I have time off the road. I intend to resume video making around August some time. I thank each and every one of you for your support for my little channel over the last 15 years. There is more to come.

    Excellent selection of appropriate riffs to demonstrate it, mind you, it doesn’t hurt to have someone with ‘god-level’ guitar skills playing it

    It's. a fantastic sounding instrument, but did anyone see the specs. Plywood, and hardboard, Pau ferro. It's like Fender, and Gibson had a cost cutting baby.

    That was an excellent demonstration of the Sitar! It's an amazing instrument.

    How do you even get strings for that mini-harp? How long does it take to restring it? How do you tune it? I have so many questions.

      The originals were made from the dreadlock fibers of and Indian mountain top guru but I’m sure someone has started mass producing synthetics by now

    I'm suprised how much it sounds like an acoustic sitar. These were played on a lot of 60s tunes I know and two in particular that stand out are Joe South The Games People Play and then again Joe South's playing on Aretha Franklin's Chain of Fools.

    Thanks for this video, Brett. This sounds fantastic. I have never played a sitar guitar, but I have always wanted one since hearing them used to great effect than by The Mission in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I hear tell that they're not easy to play. However, I'll have to try one. Thank you again!

    I really want to get one of these! I can't even play guitar but I want to learn on this. So I can play "Last Train Home". This was awesome too. Thanks for the inspiration 😸👍

    • @defmanlistening
      @defmanlistening 9 місяців тому

      Just be aware, you need an amp and a delay/reverb pedal to get that sound like in the video. Or a guitar plugin/software on your computer if you don´t want to go with an amp. Other option, if you have already a electric guitar (plus amp or plugin) you could go with a sitar pedal. But its all about a delay/reverb or at least a hall effect otherwise it sounds quite boring. And hey, go for it! Don´t have to play as good as in the video. With eastern style music (Phrygian scale) you can noodle as a beginner and you will love it!

      Yep, she love’s some Low E to keep it grounded. Traditionally, there’d be a tanpura adding a harmonic drone elsewhere in the Indian ensemble 😊👍
