Blues Music on Sitar? You asked for it!

A while back I asked everyone to suggest sitar videos I should make.

The overwhelming favorite idea was to record a song playing Sitar and Guitar together.

This is the resulting video!

Gretsch Jim Dandy and New Camera set up!

Playing my lovely Gretsch Jim Dandy guitar and testing out my new Live Streaming camera set up!

It was a lot of work and late nights trying to get all of this gear to sync up together. I am really happy with the result. Plus I think I played guitar nice in the video too.

Playing the blues after a long work day

This has been a REALLY long week. …only 1 day left!

Before I went to bed tonight I wanted to pick up my guitar and play the blues and just feel it.

I think there is some saying, “Play the blues when you got ’em to make them go away.”

I also soaked this with some reverb and delay for the fun of it.

Debut sitar performance in NYC

My teacher said that he booked me for a sitar performance in NYC this December!

I am stressing out!  Back in November 2015 I had my first public performance. I was background music for an event at the Pakistan Mission to The United Nations. It was an honor to be invited to play there, but I was REALLY nervous about it.

In tonight’s video I reflect on that performance, where I am now with my training and I show a super old clip from 2012, after I had taken my third sitar lesson.  I’ve come a long way since then!
