My Experiments with Guitar

Yesterday,  got hold of my guitar after a long time. Its difficult to catch up with professional life in full flow. 
Still , I have something to share with you guys today.I have been trying this on guitar since long time. Kinda perfected it sometime back. I don't know exactly what to call it.
But its a genuine try to generate some classical Indian music out of a western instrument like guitar.
Thought always came to my mind , How would Indian classical sound on a guitar?
Indian music in films has given this western instrument its own identity but still Indian classical on guitar?? Thought was fascinating so gave it a try.
I haven't learnt Classical as such, but from What I have heard till now, I could figure out that, the form of music I'm trying to generate on my guitar in the following video, has shades of Indian Classical instrument Sitar..
(Or is it? called something else?)
Its isn't really difficult to play, basically I'm trying to play all "Swaras" or "notes" in one Scale, also accompanying it with the rhythm with the help of B and G strings with all notes being played on E string.
Listen to it and let me know your views.
Hope you guys like it, its one of my experiments with my guitar :D
Note: Video quality might not be good as I had to reduce its size to upload it.

त्याच्या "नानाची टांग" :)





Hi Folks,Recently I came across this song from the movie Khatta Meetha, starring Akshay Kumar...

Movie doesn't really sound promising, Or may be it would do well, like all other Akshay Kumar movies. :P
But the songs in the movie are just outstanding.. Literally meaning they all stand out from the general category of songs. Two of them mainly..
1) Tyachya Nanachi Tang
2) Haath Jamayala


"नानाची टांग" ( Nanachi Tang ) is actually a kinda abuse in Marathi and the other  song "Haath Jamayala" mainly sounds like "हत तिच्या मायला" (Hat Tichya Maayala ) which is another Marathi abuse.


I want to mainly talk about the song "नानाची टांग".
Apart from the abusive name, the song has also accommodated some amazing MARATHI Lyrics in typical Rap Style. May be this is first of its kind in Bollywood or anywhere else. Marathi Cinema also has never witnessed a Rap song.
Rap Songs were mainly originated from African-American communities I guess..


These Marathi words are not the part of main song, but are there in the start and in between.
I think those lyrics are also not available on any other site.
So here goes the lyrics, of the song...
You can listen to the song here.




जिथ मी जातो , तिथ तू दिसते.. हवेत तूझी सुगंध पसरते..
मनात तू, माझ्या ध्यानात तू...चारी दिशांत तूची तू ...
जिथ मी जातो , तिथ तू दिसते.. हवेत तूझी सुगंध पसरते..
मनात तू, माझ्या ध्यानात तू...चारी दिशांत तूची तू ...


Tere peechay aaye jo bhi tere aagey aaye jo bhi pyaar se jo lega tera naam
त्याच्या नानाची टांग..
Jis ki tu nazar mein aaye jo tujhe nazar lagaaye kar doon usko main tera ghulaam
त्याच्या नानाची टांग..
Meri hai tu to meri hai
Tu mera sapna
Churaye mera sapna jo
Bolunga main usko saare aam
त्याच्या नानाची टांग


तूची तू..
आ..आ..
सुंदरी..
चल ऐक...
माझ्या तू जिवलगा , माझ्या तू पाखरा, स्वर्गाची अप्सरा,
तू स्वप्नसुंदरी, मोहिनी, कामिनी.....


Mere siwa tujhko jo dekh lagta bura
Ik din main duniya se tujhko hi loonga chura
Aake farishtey bhi tujhse mile to jalun
Subahon ko, shaamon ko, raaton ko main hi milun
Tere mere pyaar se jo jal raha ho jaan le woh de raha hoon main usse paigaam
त्याच्या "नानाची टांग
Jis ki tu nazar mein aaye jo tujhe nazar lagaaye kar doon usko main tera ghulaam
त्याच्या "नानाची टांग


मी प्रेमात तुझ्या वेडा, होऊ शकत नाही कोणी तीसरा ,
तुझ्यासाठी मी, माझ्यासाठी तू,
इतरांच्या नानाची टांग... :)
जिथ मी जातो , तिथ तू दिसते.. हवेत तूझी सुगंध पसरते..
मनात तू, माझ्या ध्यानात तू...चारी दिशांत तूची तू ...
माझ्या तू जिवलगा , माझ्या तू पाखरा, स्वर्गाची अप्सरा,
तू स्वप्नसुंदरी, मोहिनी, कामिनी.....
तुजविन संसार हा सुना, जगायच नाही मला तुझ्याविना ,
मी अस्सल मर्द मराठी ग, सगळ करील सदा तुझ..
तूची तू..
आ..आ..
सुंदरी..
चल ऐक...


Chuke hawayein kyun guzre yun tujhko bala
Takde hue tujhko kyun hai yeh suraj dala
Inn ko bhi tujhse mohabbat hui jo kahin
Ho jaayegi inn se bhi phir meri dushmani
Tu toh hai pasand meri chahatein kare jo teri pyaar ke jo bejega salaam
त्याच्या "नानाची टांग
Jis ki tu nazar mein aaye jo tujhe nazar lagaaye kar doon usko main tera ghulaam
त्याच्या "नानाची टांग
Meri hai tu to meri hai
Tu mera sapna
Churaye mera sapna jo
Bolunga main usko saare aam
त्याच्या "नानाची टांग
