Tune I heard from Bhai Dilbagh Singh and Gulbagh Singh’s rendition of “Mehrvan Sahib Mehrvan” — lovely composition — Not sure if it’s original or not though. This is what I remember of it + improvisation: I was actually trying to record Gorakh Kalyaan (see old posts saying “Rageshri Without Ga”) . But I couldn’t [...]

I got these CDs from India some time ago – LOVED them ! I had checked on Amazon some weeks earlier but they didn’t have the CDs in stock. Now they have Mp3s for download. 1) Pandit Jasraj – Miyan Tansen album – get only the Dhrupad Tracks – the alaap tracks are very nice [...]

Taken: Oct 14 2007 . We were at a Family Sammelan at a Country Club Resort about 2.5 Hours from Bangkok. Great fun ! Hargopal Singh Ji (Malaysia Wale) on Tabla. Practice notes: I never used to be able to play this fast. So I’m quite happy with my Improvement. Will work on accuracy some [...]

Thank you ji! The Song is : Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par, dil kehta hai jo kehne do Kabir Singh on Tabla.

Tere Liye – from Veer Zara The Song is : Kabhi Na Jaao Chod/Chor Kar – If you can tell me the movie , I’ll update the info. I forgot to ask . Dil Cheez Kya Hai – from the Old Umrao Jaan

Raag Charukesi : Roopak Taal . This is the tune for “Har Sajjan Swami Mora” in Maiya Singh Ji’s Cd . I messed up on tabla quite badly. heheh Enjoy. Raag Asavari Based Tune : Kaherva I have trouble timing my Tihais correctly. I’ll work on it I sort of know the theory bit .. [...]

Videos from Practise Session / Lesson. Raag Madhuvanti . 11 Beat Drut Tintaal. My cousin Kabir Singh on tabla. Was Really Good fun.

Thanks to My cousin Kabir who came over to practice. It’s always more fun with tabla accompaniment.

Personal Practice comments: * I Hit One Wrong note * High Sa is not too clear a few times * Otherwise I’m happy with it A Short interpretation of ” Dont Worry Be Happy ” by Bobby McFerrin – which loosely fits into Raag Bhoopali

Song : ” Dil Ka Khilona ” It’s good practice to play Old Indian Songs.

Nice Tune in Raag Desh – For Raul – BHOOPALI WAV – right click and choose save as to your computer. – once you are done , please send me a message on youtube so I can remove the link.

Bhai Gurdev Singh – Also Learned Tar-Shehnai / Dilruba from Ustad Piara Singh about the same time as Bhai Baljeet Singh did.

Thanks to “tripmonk0” on youtube for uploading the video. Ustad Piara Singh on TarShehnai. Bhai Baljeet Singh learned from Ustad Piara Singh. Maiya Singh picked up a lot of the tunes and style of Ustad Piara Singh by listening to him play during Diwaans and Informal Gatherings at Bhaini Sahib. Maiya Singh also spent time [...]

Try 2 . Heard from Recording of Ustad Rashid Khan. It’s like Rageshri Without Ga .. or even Pahari without Ga and Pa . According to me, It’s an improvement because the flow of notes is more accurate according to the recording I heard .

I picked this up from a recording of Ustad Rashid Khan. I have no idea what the Raag is called – but it’s basically like Rageshri without Ga and some modifications to the flow of the notes, which I’m still trying to catch. Re-take to come soon. I feel I can improve on my choice [...]
