ah, okay...I haven't ever studied what he does but I do remember watching a video of him on youtube some time ago. Ah, here we are: Ragamorphism - Prasanna plays raga alapana of Thodi - YouTube I thought this was also what he does on his songs.
haha, that would be pretty hard to figure out without seeing someone doing it. Have you heard a guitarist called Sumith Ramachandran? He is based in Calcutta, plays twice a week at a local pub where I get to hear him play 70s/80s cover songs aside from playing with a host of other musicians on different projects. I'd first heard him play a style like this live and I didn't believe you could do it on a guitar. There are so many urban legends about things he's done (and does), I've heard that he came from a village in the south famous for producing folk musicians...and how he could recognize which train was passing by after hearing the whistle (the actual story I read later in this interview here: Sumith and his strings). Apparently, he also endorses (is that the right word?) Godin guitars in India. I'm not sure where you live but if you get a chance to see any of his bands live, I really recommend you do. Really good musician, very versatile and he has this great sense of melody that I love (and where I think he scores over a lot of other great guitarists I've heard). I think I'd hooked a few other people on here on to him back in the day (shsnawada?) I couldn't find too many recordings of him but here are a few thrown around from different places: Sumith Ramachandran & Rila Banerjee, Hourglassed - YouTube Sumith Ramachandran works his Godin LGXT - YouTube Sumith Ramachandran with Godin LGXT - YouTube ooh, this is from the pub where I used to watch him play. You can hear how he changes to a more classic rock style because that's what people come for: VTS_01_1.VOB - YouTube 3 of those musicians are my heroes. The drummer isn't but is one of the most respected in the city (and maybe the country? I don't know).
:RollLol: Yes I remember But I didn't remember talking about it! Its sliding + bending. I meant he doesn't use metal/glass slide. We really need Ronnieanand here - who can give a demo.
if you still have them, can you upload them and send me a link or something? I lost my music collection from back then on a hard disk.
