[@ananthanarayananlakshmykan8180]

Hi as everyone mentioned the explanation is too good I do praise it. But practically not sure since this is my 1st video on Carnatic music. Since your explanations were so good I'm planning to do my practicals also with you too I get proper guru. Even everyone who listen to this would feel the same however, you have told that will release few more useful videos and so eagerly searched KZbin and couldn't find a perfect match of your videos. So pls let us know your future release so we would happily wait for the same

Sir plz make everyday video as teaching classes to learn singing from start to end . You learnning techniques are superb and easy to learn. So plz make videos who really wants to learn singing but for some reasons like no money and no one teacher over their living area side so they can lean. You can help them And I m also hungry to lean singing but here is no one teacher available.

[@rajkazhiyur]

[@sayarpushpa1470]

Thanks a lot. Please do more videos on Shruthi so that we can understand it better

[@suganthasundar2113]

HI thank you for your really informative videos! I wonder if you can help me with this issue. If I want to accompany a Western music guitar player with a violin tuned to the Carnatic style Sa, Pa, Sa, Pa. What shruthi should I pick for the tonic. Will tuning the violin as A, E, A, E make it compatible? I would like to try out some fusion music with friends. Thank you!!

[@TejasM14]

As I mentioned in the video, you can pick any note for your tonic. But the strings will need to be compatible with the tonic you choose. If they end up too tight or loose, the violin will become unplayable. I would say, pick a tonic note, let's say the key of E. And then ask the guitar player to come up with a song or chord structure in the key of E. Since the tuning of the guitar is absolute, they usually don't have a problem in changing keys. All they have to do is change the fingering.

[@sundar5537]

Nice intro...very good..good wishes...

[@chandrasekhar290]

Very helpful and easy understand the notes, viery nice

[@SR-us5gr]

Wow Beautiful explanation! I learnt carnatic music as a kid for a few years, but never understood this in all these years! Thanks. When we hear comments like wrong Shruti, does that mean the singer is jumping between ladders?

[@vkm-smg]

Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@msmurali05]

wondeful videos sir. thank you sir

[@realjackofall]

Tejas, many thanks for making these videos. I want to learn to play the violin. That's my goal. I'm trying to learn by watching/listening/reading about it. With absolutely no background in music, I've struggled to learn the basic concepts. Your videos have helped alleviate those struggles. You are indeed helping in making music more approachable. Do you still take online classes?

[@keshavamurthy8252]

Good and clear explanation.

[@ashokdhingra4]

[@spurthichadharam9144]

Thank you, I think we can shall may ( or any suitable helping verb ) understand the importance of solving the problem i. Solving step wise ii. Understand what are given or available data, iii. Separate constants, variables, analysis etc., iv. What is required to find V. Step by step analysis of problem solving vi. Display the result It is just like talking how we cant suddenly jump from high pitch to low pitch or in a non harmonic way. We can shall may ( or any suitable helping verb) try to talk in harmonic way Sa re ga ma pa da ni sa Sa ni da pa ma ga ri sa.. For any complex situation we can shall may ( or any suitable helping verb ) try to check shruthi Sa pa Sa pa sa And talk harmonically Similarly for civil engineering answers too, we can shall may ( or any suitable helping verb ) make it harmonic and rhythmic, thank you once again for providing this opportunity
