#Guitar a day. 5-string #tanpura by Rikhi Ram Music in New Delhi. About ten years ago, with the help of #SteveKimock and his wife Jenn, my wife secretly had a lefty Mohan Veena made for me. Steve was so impressed that she’d do that, he bought her this tanpura so that she could accompany me.

The tanpura is the drone instrument that lays the harmonic foundation for Indian classical music. Its tuning depends on the raag. The video demonstrates its sound.

Came up with a new guitar tiuning yesterday. E B D# E B E. The idea is that the lower 3 strings act as a #tanpura drone, the melody played on the upper 2, with that E in the middle alternating between the drone and melody. Trying with some #banjo-inspired finger picking rolls. Good times! #Music #Guitar #GuitarTuning #MusicTheory #IndianClassicalMusic #Musodon #Bluegrass

#guitar a day. #Hindustani #SlideGuitar in the Mohan veena style. On a visit my friend #SteveKimock let me play his. I came home and raved about it to my wife. She then secretly called Kimock and arranged to have a #lefty model made for me. The next Christmas this was under the tree. Steve was so impressed he bought her a #tanpura so she could play with me. The clip features the instrument on a track of our 2016 album.
