This is the instrument I have been looking for for all of my life.
Did you get it
Why have u not created it yourself ?
Me too, Martin. I’ve been looking for a more electric variant, but this make so much more sense. The sound speaks to the soul, huh?
Ditto. I need to try and make one... Somehow
ME TOO
He is such a wonderful player. I still have cassette-tapes of him I found during a trip to India in the late 80's. I think he grew up in Auroville - What a charmed musical life!
Yes, he's from Auroville. Met him today and was lucky to listen to his mastery over this incredible instrument, which he crafted himself. What a genius! 💜
Wonderful instrument, magically played.
The whole video just flown by!
Amazing work!
His name is Nadaka. He lives in Portland, Oregon, USA. His website is ragamantra.com. See the caption above.
will i get this instrument from ragamantra
As he start playing taanpura, I got goosebumps
is that Daler Mehndi?
honestly i have never heard anything more beautiful in my life.
Swara mandal is awesome 😍 Any
You can tell he spent so much time in India as he lost his accent 😂❤️
It sounds kinda German to me.
@@cowboytsundere3013 he has a little south indian accent.
The ragam is called Revathi in south Indian classical music ... Very rejuvenating ragam .. like the sound of the guitar. Divine!!...
he is one of the best musician i have come across
This hi-breed is definitely a complete instrument for expressing Raga with better playing comfort than any other conventional Hindustani instrument. Modified steel guitar has entered into mainstream hindustani classical arena long before and now this one is also destined for same.
What an amazing work behind this instrument.
The string that's off the fretboard is for playing djent.

Hi, Amazing instrument and playing. Incredible sound. I'm a Portlander and new follower original from Puerto Rico.🇵🇷
What a lovely performance..too good sir...
So beautiful....
Raag bairagi you played superb 👌
💐🙏💐🙏💐🙏💐
I first heard a sitar way back in the Super mario 64 days, I always loved the sound
Ravi Shankar in the 70s. George Harrison.
deeply resonates me, fully
Tonal quality of this instrument is very nice like veena👌👌👌👌
SHAKTI natural elements , handful of beauty I'm sure you must have heard these great albums thanks for sharing namasté :)
Marvellous. A kind of short form Raga fusion style. Well done sir. Brought a big smile to my face. Oh, and what a fantastic creation this instrument is. Beautifully made too.
As a guitarist with a growing interest in Indian music and different tuning temperaments, just wow, what a beautiful instrument, it also sounds divine, thank you.
What a wonderful amalgam of Indian music with your own creative genius. I should like to know more about your "geetaar" and your playing it so innovatively to spell any audience. Thank you.
Excellent experimental fusion resembling John McLaughlin style.
Awesome bhairagi bhairav
congrtas for the new dicovery ! Great Job !
Brilliant.. !
Only 16k views ? The world on internet today clearly has no music taste.
This is in teen-taal right ?
It's beautiful!
awesome play and great guitar sound :)
wonderful invention. congrats
super relaxing, amazing instrument, I enjoined a lot. Thank you
Love the sound.. This is beautiful
A great innovation, very good music and a great design! Good presentation. Thank you for the wonderful piece of music. I wish to buy this kind of guitar. How do I buy one Sir?
subtle and lush
*_I believe the ancient Hindustanis/'Indians' somehow figured-out or intuited - or were 'taught'..... - the pristine vibration frequencies of the 'super-strings' from which our particular Universe is built ... what you are hearing here - is the mesmerizing symphonic harmonies of the most fundamental constituents of space-time...._*
He starts playing finally at 4:44
Thanks for your precious guitar lessons Sir....Love from India..
Mesmering... beautiful.
Put a Western man playing an ancient music and almost instantaneously new instruments pop out.
Electronicos Fantasticos
Fantastic...love it!...ty
wow just WOW!!!!
I WROTE JUST AND U PLAYED ......SUPERB--THANKS
simply amazing!!!!! mesmerized !!!
Thanks for this. Very Interesting
the guitar engineering looked impressive. the sound didn't feel quite like Indian Ragas. Something major felt missing. It just sounded like guitar. The drone sound and table was in the right direction.
Jeet Ray I agree, he should use a slide or utilize bends because he is missing the meend sound that is so characteristic of Indian music
I agree. No westerners have the ability to recreate the true essence of Indian sitar. Best not meddle with the original.
Sounds silly.☝️🤪
He hasn’t a clue how beautiful the sitar is and how you use it! It’s all in the hand and touch not the other way round.
808 Music it's not a Sitar yeah.
Sitars can't imitate guitars either. Playing classical music of Europe on sitar would sound ridiculous too, I agree. Compared to sitar, this is inferior for Indian music, it's like if you tried to play a lute piece written by Bach with a sitar.
Los 'ragas' son como una especie de 'Teoría musical' en la India, pero, con un planteamiento más 'abstracto'.
Supongo que alguien que ha estudiado 'Ragas' podría aplicarlas a otros instrumentos 'solistas' a parte del Sitar.
Not enough sliding
want this so bad haha. its all i want in an instrument
Amazing. God bless you
His compositions are great
This is the best explanation
Fabulous fusion harmony
super super Sir...i Love it ..Guruji....i love to learn...pls help me to learn....pleeeseeeeeeeeeeese..
It was really great to hear... Do keep going... Wish u the best!
Tickles all of my musical desires...
I want to meditate to shiva on this music loved the bhairavi rag.
Wonderfully presented show !
really good , this instrument is an evolution of the shakti guitar of the great john mc laughlin !
No its not .yu cant compare this very bsic attempt at mimicing indian classical with john mc or shakti thats ridiculous
Beautiful.
Around 03:45 Nadaka says, "In South of India .. we don't care as much about the time of the day for particular modes."
On the contrary, i have found Indian music schools of music to be extremely fastidious about the modes played at specific times of the day, and even include considerations for the seasons and occasions apart from time of day.
Maybe i misunderstood Sri Nadaka ji's context, but what i heard him say here didn't sound right.
Beautiful music, playing and the instrument.
Can anyone tell me? :
Are all Raga guitars that expensive 6 or 7 thousand dollars?
Are there guitars of this type available to buy at a much more budget price?
I know one can experiment with a normal acoustic, doing some little cheap tricks to obtain a similar sound. The bottom line is- it will never be even close to one like this, even much cheaper model.
Any comments welcome.
Very similar to John McLaughlin's Shakti-era acoustic guitar, most likely this guitar is based on it.
He stands nowhere in comparison to McLaughlin.
Well, he has been influenced in early days from John and has played with Shakti band and has even released studio albums with members of shakti band
Likes a bit of Phrygian dominant. Sounds nice
Superb feel like keep listening.
thank you regards
great Invention.., It's Really Good...,
Without the slides and the pulls, how can this be a Raga? Sounds more like western music, rather than Indian. But amazing guitar :)
Very nice and relaxing
divine music. I was lost
Omg this is so good😳
SIR GREAT ---THE GEETA BEFORE MAHABHARAT---CAN U PLAY JUST LITTLE BIT OF MUSIC FOR FIGHT DURING MY WEB EPISODE NO 24--PLEASE SIR
~cool...greetings from 2 musicians (sitar & tanpura) from germany........(maria&harald,the nectar of the night)...~
🇮🇳india❣️❣️💪💪
Superb invention
What is the name of this instrument? Can I buy it online???
Fascinating!
lovely !
❤❤❤
great music....
Wah bhai wah
Why not loop the tanpura?...
Thn whts the use of creating an instrument which can be used live....if he wanted to loop tanpura thn there are samples already on internet...think abt it
Where can one inquire about this style build Veena guitar?
Nice, but are you sure that "geet taara" is the etymology of "guitar"? Most etymologies point to the Greek "kithara."
it is actually bhagavat gitar
Sanskrit is anscestor of all languages including Greek. Perhaps not all African and Aboriginal languages but im not sure.
Gita = Song (like the Bhagavad Gita) Tar = Strings = Singing strings
loved this
Wow that's great 👍👍👍👍 😃😃😃
Excellent 👍
Does anyone know who the luthier is that built this and if they are available for sale?
Depth of regga is soul
Nice music, but imo there needs to be a better way to activate the drone/Jivari string. To move one side of the body to the other side like that breaks the flow of technique and perhaps the visual too.
🙏
awesome.....
Can someone please through a link to purchase it. Thanks
So nice
D sharp harmonic minor - raag Bhairav I think, unless I am mistaken- very nice
Alrukitaf no its not.....harmonic minor is raag kirvani
Alrukitaf theres a taste of Revathi
Rather a natural minor with 2nd note flattened . It's actually a mode in western terms .
@@anandutsav3329 i think is revathi sounds like aigiri nadini song soundings
Sir awesome sir want to same type of guitar how much
amazing. as a guitarist i have to ask is he using just regular phrygian scales to play or is there a specific raga scale.
those are specific scales
It uses the swaras of Raga Bairagi mostly. Though he introduces others ...e.g. at 9:10. Plus the treatment is nothing like classical music, neither Hindustani nor Carnatic. The use of mridangam is inventive though.
Cool guitar!
East meets West. Guitar's etymology surprised me
Sir this is great. May I know the name of the person who is playing.
Great!
wonderful
