It's one of his compositions, a "garland of ragas" for students, where all 11 #raag families are played. Apart from playing it, the other challenge for me was to take all 17 videos from the students, mix the audio, and sync everything. Diverse frame and sampling rates, metronome speeds, and file formats made for some work!

I studied #Hindustani #tala for a few years with Maya Misra, widow of Pt Ramesh Misra. Tala (or taal) is the system of counting beat cycles using the various sounds (bols) that a tabla makes. A few years ago I presented a lecture on the most basic taals. Each tala has a characteristic set of bols (called the theka). After you learn the theka, you practice accelerating how many bols are on a beat.

Westerners are probably most familiar with him from the great performance with #RaviShankar at the #ConcertForBangladesh. KhanSahib was a genius in his own right. I have been surprised to hear from several Indian musicians I know that they consider him superior to Ravi Shankar.
Here’s a stunning performance with #SwapanChaudhuri on #tabla

Early morning transcribing yesterday’s lesson with #DebashishBhattacharya. #hindustanimusic is traditionally taught orally. The guru sings the lines, the student plays them back. This is a new #raga for me—#Raag Komal Nishab Asavari—meaning flat (komal), second (nishab), minor scale (asavari). Same as western Phrygian mode except the 3rd and 7th are always skipped when ascending. Written in the Sargam—Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni. I use an old lab notebook to write things out. :-)

484 followers · 1515 posts · Server musicians.todayWednesday Morning #Raga. A monumental #raag #Bhimpalasi from #DebashishBhattacharya on #Hindustani #SlideGuitar. The #alap is on my regular rotation.
Bhimpalasi is based on Kafi thaat (Dorian in western terms) but the ascending line does not include the second or 6th degree. Descending lines can include all 7 pitches.
Ṉ̣ S G̱ M P Ṉ Ṡ, so minor 7th, root, minor 3rd, 4th, 5th, minor 7th, root.

482 followers · 1469 posts · Server musicians.todaySome #raga music for a Friday. The Drut (fast) section of #raag #Bagashree with Pt. #DebashishBhattacharya on #SlideGuitar and Pt. #SwapanChaudhuri on #tabla. This is the title track from Debashish's new record. This version of Bagashree is a bit deceptive in that it sounds like Khamaj (mixolydian), but because of where the tonic is it's actually in Kafi (Dorian) thaat. The ascending scale is
D F G B C D'. Descending is
D' C B A G F E D.
