I suggested this before, please next use hair as strings. 😄🤘
I'd love to see some sitar sweeping!
Bro listen sitar part of sun Raha hai na tu song .....played by legend Niladri kumar
Dude, ur so awesome. Do chk out "bheegi bheegi guitar solo",so you'll have a better understanding of the instrument, mainly based on huge vibrato n bends instead of sliding in guitar..it got actually played on a zitar.much love n support from India❤🤘🏻
@bernth TRY YAAZH NEXT, YAAZH IS A type Of ANCIENT HARP FROM TAMILNADU..........I'M very Eager to WATCH THAT Bcoz I'M From TAMILNADU, INDIA😅
The funny thing is that sitars have an acoustic 'distortion'. The pure sinus/wave of the strings are limited by the special bridge, creating a distortion-sound :) Heavy metal indeed!
That’s the best part of them in my opinion! Sitars and harpsichords have that kind of acoustic distortion feel that makes me love them!
@@millthor and kazoos
Absolute perfection!! 💯
@@AnthonyFlack I now want to see a metal band that features a kazoo.
that is so... metal 😅amazing instrument
As one of your Indian subscribers, this was mind blowing, never imagined sitar in metal form. Kudos
There is a meshuggah bleed cover by rishab sen
Rishab seen also had a band , called 'sitar metal'
Oh please give yourself a treat and listen igorrr you will really enjoy it.
Not metal but Japanese psych rock band Kikagaku Moyo also uses a sitar very well. :)
What, you’ve never heard Enter the Sandman before?
Ok that sounded way better than I could have expected!
I'm actually NOT surprised!
and even then it still sucked.
I win, the end
How is this not a thing already?! Give me an album!
Love it when people get creative with metal instrumentation.
I can totally imagine a band using this sound for a full album.
It’s a thing, actually. It’s called oriental metal.
@@ferretyluv thanks. I'll look into that.
Aside from Apocalyptica (and Blood or Whiskey if you're into punk) I'm yet to find any metal that really uses non-traditional instruments except as an occasional gimmick, or buried under the guitars. There's Chtonic from Taiwan, who incorporate a traditional Chinese orchestra... in the beginnings of some songs, then they just play metal. When I saw them at Download the orchestra were only there for half the set.
I'm yet to hear of a Japanese metal band using taiko drums, though you'd expect that to be a no brainer.
@@worldcomicsreview354 Eluveitie uses hurdy gurdies, bagpipes, mandolins, and tin whistles. There’s a Finnish metal band called Whispered that plays Japanese folk metal with shamisens.
@@worldcomicsreview354 Have to name drop one of my personal favorites: Van Canto
I also remember Coppelius, who also use a unique set of instruments.
You know Sitar is a traditional instrument of India and i know its not an easy instrument to play but you just played it very well...❤🤘🏻
Dude has amazing dexterity and superior picking abilities, he can play ANY stringed instrument he wants, period. 👏
SITAR METAL has been a band from India since 2015 started by Rishabh Seen from Punjab ruclips.net/video/qFXhGeAODBA/видео.html
actually, depends who you are. if you play guitar or similar instruments, it's not that hard. it's hard if you don't know any instruments and you gotta learn from scratch. but then, isn't it like that with any instrument? the bigger problem for most people is the availability of sitar. hard to find/buy one like that.
No bro, there’s no feel of sitar here. Bernth is a great guitarist but I can clearly see he don’t know how to actually play sitar. There’s a band called Sitar Metal listen to it once you’ll understand what i mean. ruclips.net/video/qFXhGeAODBA/видео.html
@@Jaadugar0351 I know sitar metal. They sure can play but personally I find their personal vibes quite unpleasant. Bernth is a total beginner and still can play something like this. Appreciate him within that context. Everything is about context.
Damm!! It was not expected dude 😎 As an Indian it was insane 🖤..one more noticed that finger-tapping technique is applied on Sitar 😲
Yeah... the tapping is what got me.
I can barely churn out enter sandman on my six string guitar and you’re out here playing more complex stuff on a complicated instrument. This sounds so exotic and hypnotic. I feel like I’m walking the streets of Bengaluru as I listen to this. You did a magnificent job!
Where/what is the place you mentioned?
@@CaseyGray58 Bengaluru is the capital of Karnataka(a state in India)
Check out Dashavatar by Demonic Resurrection.
More like Manali or Haldwani Iykyk
This sounds like something you'd hear during a boss fight in the desert against a powerful rogue or some mystic sand serpent with time control
I never heard someone playing the sitar like this. Keep on pushing the boundaries and boldly go where no shredder has gone before.
Oh my God, I didn’t even realise that you can actually tap this thing and it actually sounds amazing actually sounds really cool. Got an incredible sound when it’s tapped. And I actually love this, traditional instruments that untraditional to metal being used in metal.
Killer sound🤘
Fun fact: Yngwie Malmsteen used Sitar on metal in the 90's (probably the first one to use it) you can here them on Fire & ice, Seventh Sign, Inspiration album prominently.
I believe the roots of such an idea go back to George Harrison's sitar on a couple of Beatles songs. Of all Indian sitar masters, the one that showed Harrison a couple of things was Ravi Shankar, who had previously made that historic concert and record with Yehudi Menuhin. Menuhin was probably the first Westerner to suspect that there's art and knowledge in that music, so all this can be traced back to him.
Ah yes the sitar, the king of wavy music and in this case a king of metal, well played Bernth!
Screams intertwine with the sitar's cry,
A dissonant cacophony, bidding goodbye,
Drowning in sorrow, where shadows converge,
The sitar's grip tightens, a malevolent surge.
I love the droning sound of the resonance strings and you captured that quite well ! I'd love to hear you play more sitar on the channel ❤
That was super cool! I also love that you preserved the sitar's sound instead of just distorting it to a generic guitar-style 🤘🏻
Bernth, I went to India in the 90s. Got there to Bangalore about 8 in the evening and we started driving through the country. Stopped at a café (I guess? It was four walls with no roof) and this instrument was being played. I don’t do drugs, but I swear it put me into a trance.
Amazing, dude. This one blew up my head!
Love and greetings from Mexico! ❤🫡
This sounds so badass!! It sounds like it would be the theme for an ancient Egypt themed boss
Edit: (I know a sitar isn’t an Egyptian instrument, it’s just the vibe this track is giving me)
@@jimsus69 the Nubian Dynasty was a thing. There were black Egyptians, so it's not black washing at all. That's just ignorant racist neckbeards being ignorant.
@jimsus69 avdol is black and he's Egyptian
@@LookIDrum They where not egyptians though, they where nubians. They conquered the region and egypt did what egypt had always done and maintained their culture to the point where when the nubians where driven off(I believe it was about 100 years before they where kicked out) they took with them the culture of the egyptians. So no, egyptians where not black and pointing that out isn't racist, but it is bigotry to claim some one is racist simply because they said something you didn't like(intolerance to anothers opinion is by definition bigotry). Perhaps you should study the history and culture of the people you have decided to "defend", before making accusations.
Any ethnic group that historically developed in a sun baked land isn't going to be particularly light skinned, but the concept of white didn't exist until the British invented it specifically to justified the continued enslavement of the increasingly Christian population of black slaves in Barbados.
Plus, until fairly recently Greeks and Italians weren't considered white, so like fucking hell would any Egyptian be considered White except by an extremely modern interpretation of a slightly less modern standard explicitly invented to justify slavery
@@LookIDrumAnd where did the black Egyptians come from? That's right, chiefly Nubia... _ruled_ by the Egyptians. Also, Persians (modern day Iranians) were not Egyptians. Perhaps you're just an ignorant woke twat with a typically twisted historical world view.
there is unironically a band called sitar metal that sounds like this
You can't believe how much I LOVE this, Bernth! You could make an entire album of stuff just like this and I'd EAT IT UP!
This was amazing. I look forward to hearing more. I hadn't realized how high the fret sit, having never seen a sitar up close. Thanks for all the info, and as usual, the excellent playing :)
It's cool that you always add some description on the video as the music plays.
Rob Scallon did a great sitar metal video a couple years back. We need more of this, sounds really cool 🤘🏻
That by far was the coolest thing I ever saw! Killer playing as always!!! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Very creative! Thanks for putting this up!
So you're creating a new metal style right? That's absolutely awesome. Keep up the good work
no its a bit old now
Power metal bands used to implement classic instruments like these.
New? No. Badass still? Hell yeah
Thinking outside the box, very cool. I love the sound of droning instruments. Something that you could have a lot of fun with is the medieval wheel instrument the Hurdy Gurdy.
Man, i hope you do more of this
Totally awesome!! I wish you had tours in the US, I would LOVE to see you play!
BERNTH,for a sitar newb, well done sir! My old sitar teacher might have slapped your right hand form a bit, but you got the job done. Also, tapping ftw! Harder than it looks folks it’s not like a guitar. My teacher used to get a kick out of me doing that during class too.
Incredible sound and playing! Loved the energy you produced!!
This is so sick, thank you for this metal sitar prescription Dr. Bernth
That is so amazing! I love it! Gives metal a new sound.
Bro has to listen to sitar metal(the band) now
Can you shred on a cello?
I have really enjoyed your different "experimental" type of videos where you have played using creative techniques or just by using a different instrument. Great stuff, man. It's cool to see you branch out and see it going well for you, after you truly helped me a lot with my progress the last few years. Cheers m8
This is incredible. What a unique twist in the sound!
Great stuff man! Sounds awesome. You should try playing in the Sitar the song "Bangkok" and the "Fire garden suite" (by Steve Vai). Those are just perfect ones for the sitar 😁👍🏼
Or the intro for “Wherever I May Roam” by Metallica.
Sitar is such a unique instrument & who would have ever thought of fusing metal with sitar. Your playing is sublime! Was this sitar, in the video, one of the higher end sitars? I'm subscribing !!!
Satan doesn't like the sitar. It's godly.
Loved it, I think you audience would love this incorporated into some of the songs you will perform on stage.
Dude that was awesome! I've always wanted a sitar to have some metal fun with.
I think more bands should at the sitar to their repertoire, as it would give them a great boost in creativity and would progress the metal genre a bit more. For decades it has pretty much just been acoustic and electric guitars. In the 70s guitarists of progressive rock bands would incorporate instruments like lap steel guitars, mandolins, and portugese 12 string guitars. It allowed the genre to be one of the most creative ones still to this day.
yea this slaps
There you go again man. It would be great if you could do an album with songs like this
This is gorgeous and thrilling! Gives me chills, i love it!!!❤
That sounded awesome Bernth. This should be the opening song on a movie soundtrack. 😀
How do you make your album covers? They are always SO cool 🤘🏻
That was absolutely wild! Thank you!
Young man...that was absolutely AMAZING!!! I've always loved that sound being a string player,but that man was BADASS!!!❤❤❤ Thanks for sharing that!!!
I am an Indian and I don't like anyone messing up with any Indian instrument. But as a heavy metal fan my respect towards you have increased a thousand folds. You did justice. You are a creative genius.
I'm really interested in how this instrument will sound with distortion
You should try sunn raha hai na tu zitar solo videos
Very, very cool! Go on playing like this! I love it.
Love it !! Sounds amazing 🔥🔥
Indian metal time!
Fantastic.. if you like more of this check out a band called " sitar metal "
That was really great. Love it.
F’n crazy awesome man! Just Wow!
Very Nice 👍Sitars are always fun to play Rock / Metal / Goth / Experimental on with cool effects 😉
amazing pleaaase come to india for a tour some day
I'd love to, I have never been! :)
That was awesome! Yeeew! 😎🤙 loved it!!!!
Thank you Bernth, you have show us you're a real musician through and through. This sitar metal was DELICIOUS!!! Please make some more tunes like that in the future. Also, I don't know how you feel about that, but if you're not strictly limited to metal metal, get together with Indian musicians or people who can play Indian music and use mridanga and tabla instead of drums! Now that would be something! Rock on my friend!
I'm just gonna say, that while creative, it still sounds like a guitar somehow. I say just try to ditch western music theory and see how they learn sitar traditionally, it would make it sound more original. I vividly remember a Ravi Shankar interview where he explained the process and how different it was to common music theory.
So many Indians her yet not many are aware that SITAR METAL has been a band from India since 2015 started by Rishabh Seen from Punjab, you all are missing out big time ruclips.net/video/qFXhGeAODBA/видео.html
That was amazing. Thank you for the awesome music
Really cool sound!!
Every time you post a new song I have only one question: how the hell do you make the album covers??
Dogue maybe from hell he does get those Album covers
Ikr they all go crazy
I think they're AI generated
@@uroboric they're too specifically drawn to be an AI
Those are awesome
Now do it with Guitarra Portuguesa. It either sounds amazing, or you create a new genre, or a lot of purists will be outraged... either way, win😂😂😂
Great job. Sounded spectacular.
This is friggin' Awesome!!
Sounds awesome🤘!
That is absolutely wicked - fantastic.
Wicked* my man, absolutely brilliant!
* Excellent; wonderful.
I think this is the only time I’ve actually enjoyed listening to a sitar being played.
Well done!
That sounds great man.
This is awesome!!
That's friggin hilarious and brilliant. Yeah, some of it done in the recording and editing, but great regardless. Well done young man. (I'm old, and spent years on the road and in the studio. You're light years ahead of me). Thanks.
This sounds great!
Aghhhhhh!! Album must be made now! Please hurry, for the need is great.
That was AWESOME!!
Wow unique and great sound! Love it!
This was a very nice surprise and sounded awesome
That sounded wicked awesome.
Sounds great man!
Dude! That was sick! U r a musical genius and my inspiration 🤘😈
Great sound!
This is crazy! I loved it!
Awesome! Feeling❤ that one!
*From 60k subs and now you almost reach 1 million subs.. Absolutely amazing.. I hope you will keep sharing and motivate everybody.. Keep in touch bruh and salute. 😊🙏🏾🖤🔥*
This is incredible!
That was incredible!!
That's wild sounding, love it
A mastery of both metal and traditional sitar style. Amazing! Always thought of Bernth as a genius, but this is over the top.
That was VERY TASTY! Thank you,Brother!
That was so fucking rad, dude.
Really enjoyed that metal mixup. Thank you….!

Awesome sound 🤘
DAMN… That was straight funky!!!
I absolutely love this shit!!! So bad ass!!!
