Can we play Hindustani Classical ragas on Guitar

I am newbe to Guitar and taking classes now (4 classes old). Guitar being a Western Musical instrument, is it possible to play Hindustani classical ragas on Guitar?

I would like learn Hindustani Classical instrumental music. If not all, learn at least few ragas properly first and then move on to learn playing songs.

Thanks

 

hi i'm a new be and i tell u one thing its not easy that playing hindustani music with guitar unless or until you get mastered in playing. because it needs some melo smooth soulful touch i think you got it , all the best ,take an atmost care of ur guitar

 

ah!. Thanks. I have been going through many posts on this forum. I read some posts where they have given mapping to Hindustani ragas.

 

western and eastern classical music are almost simillar at many junctures...if u know the basic connection i.e [ S r R g G M m P d D n N S = C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B C] (KEY OF C)
dis is d basic...u can take any raag e.g

PATDEEP : ,N S g M P N S || S' N D P M g R S

SCALE : B C D# F G A B C || C B A G F D# D C

So in simillar fashion u can convert any raag into d western scale format and construct chords or play solo anything ...... its only a little problematic in case of raagas which have dissimilar arroh n avaroh (like in patdeep raag)....bt u can make small changes acc. to ur needs

hello frndss.....

 

Have you learnt bending the strings to perfection?

 

hmm.. I guess you know hindustani music before.. if your mind is filled with that you'll make a bad student and progress slow since western theories could confuse you.. so clear your mind and learn guitar as a western instrument first.. to play such things you need mastery of both.. since yu are new to guitar I wish you progress well.. happy guitarin..

Learn Hindustani Ragas when you are beginner is of no use. Why to cram just a solo? Learn the western theory and then learn the Indian theory. This would help a lot.
