I recently passed the 1 year milestone of formal sitar lessons.  A lot of friends had asked me for a video update so I recorded this the other night.  This is the Gat with Taans for the Raga Yaman that I am studying.  The Taans start a little after the 1 min mark.  I kept it pretty slow to avoid mistakes and to hopefully keep better rhythm.  I was using a metronome too, something I just started doing and something I recommend.  I still have a long way to go! But, you can get the basic idea.   I didn’t record any Mizrab and Pulta exercises, but those are part of my regular practicing.  I am playing a student model Radha Krishna Sharma sitar.  It’s an okay starter sitar.  It is tuned in the style of Ustad Vilayat Khan.  Video shot on the Zoom Q3HD.
