A wonderful player, for sure. Indian ornamentation is incredibly beautiful (and very difficult in that it has to be precise and there are rules for what kind and when you can use it in a given raag). ...

Debashish is at the top of game here. Amazing technical skill and cool rising and falling phrasing ideas.

I’ve always assumed Desh was the most familiar raag in India. It literally means “country” —the popular patriotic anthem Vande Mataram is based in Desh. Debashish had us do a video of it a few ...

Greatest was a poor choice of words. There are all kinds of techniques and both Debashish and Bhatt are master technicians in their genre but that doesn't mean someone like Doug Jernigan isn't also a ...

So guys, is the instrument itself called a chaturangui?

Is that what Debashish plays too?

Damn! Wish I lived their. I would love to go. That man is beyond great.

Hi All,
Just wanted to give a heads up that the great master of Indian slide guitar, Debashish Bhattacharya, will be giving a workshop on Saturday, November 17 in Chapel Hill North Carolina. The work ...

A nice recent interview with Debashish, including some detail on the history of the instrument and technique he uses.

Another modern one I forgot. Triveni veena.

I’m sure there’s more!

There is also the vichitra veena. Not exactly slide guitar, but in the ballpark! Dhrupad is of course not the most easily digestible music compared to khayal for the newly initiated. Takes a very p ...

Interesting. There's no standardization outside of your teacher and your gharana, really, vs some of the older instruments like sitar and sarod. Mohan veenas and Hansa veenas all vary in setup. I pl ...

Debashish has a nice general intro to the chaturangui here. Includes tunings, basic technique, etc.

Don't know if there's any interest in this old thread any more. I stumbled across it while searching on something else.

By some miracle, I actually study chaturangui with Debashish.

Fantastic! Thanks, guys!

Hi folks,

Anybody out there know a competent repair person in the Raleigh, NC area?

Thanks,

Yes, in the recording it doesn't really even have a B section. It seems like it just modulates to another key and plays the same progression. But it definitely sounds like the A part of Mike's tune.Ma ...

Hi all,
