Raag Basics on Bansuri - Vol. 1 - Raag Yaman - Jay Thakkar

[@musicabstract]

To subscribe to my in-depth lesson recordings in Indian classical music on Bansuri accompanied by vocal demonstration, write to me at [e-mail].

[@TheLazyClips]

I did this and i must say it is THE BEST. Most in depth, High quality, a TON of material (really its a lot of sounds/musical language to take in and learn from), And you can do it all on your own time. This is perfect for those who can listen and absorb. I have not seen better and believe me i have looked... if i didnt come across Sir Thakkar i would not be where i am right now and i have just started.

@@TheLazyClips, I truly appreciate your heartfelt comment. Thank you. Best wishes for your musical practice. 🙏🏽

[@MrRiguepeu]

Thanks Mr Jay for your work, give your time without demand money, Its very rare our days.

[@swarajnanda5990]

I'll like anyone that spreads bansuri knowledge. You guys are rare on KZbin.

You are welcome.

Great tutorial guru ji..really helping a lot to beginner..the best thing is slow and clearly visible movement of fingers in respective notes which are already there on screen...

[@anantrao4451]

Thanks a lot... very useful raag chalan lesson for beginners. I appreciate your efforts in teaching flute...looking forward to many more such rare lessons. Thanks a lot once again.

[@musicabstract]

Anytime. I will only be posting performance videos henceforth. Students interested in paid access to my video lessons may write to me at [e-mail] for details.

[@jaatmann]

Thanku Jay you have been always a big help to make the musical understanding simplest.

[@musicabstract]

You are welcome. Glad to know that you find the videos helpful.

[@musicabstract]

For the forthcoming videos in the playlist "Raag Basics on Bansuri", I will change the method of demonstration a little bit. Instead of the typed notations (which takes forever to compose during video editing), I will be alternating between playing the Bansuri & singing the corresponding notes & phrases. That will save me a lot of time to work on more content. Stay tuned for videos with this new method! You will enjoy it and I hope you learn from it as well! Cheers!!

[@manojsinha6280]

Sir if u can keep on posting videos in this format it will be good for me, at least, who is learning Bansuri through videos and books and need visual notes, or u can also show full set notes in one go, so as to capture a screenshot...... Rest depends upon u. Thnx a lot for ur time and effort.....

[@skflutes]

Hi Yes, You are right, it help's to learn easily. Do you have any video on Rag "Bilawal "? If there is no video on rag bilawal, my humble request to you please make a video like this video on rag bilawal. It wil be very helpful to me. Thank You, Sajal Kumar. From Navi Mumbai.

[@Piyututu]

Hello Sir.. It's just a request... if you can make videos teaching the rules to play the ragas it will be really helpful for thousands of us.. N u r awesome.

[@musicabstract]

Glad you’re enjoying the music. I’ll add the suggestion to the list of subjects for videos.

[@Piyututu]

@@musicabstract n Sir can you please help me out in becoming better on beats? I cant concentrate on beats while concentrating on the songs or ragas. Please share something about the exercises n ways of strengthening the ability to play everytime on beats.

[@musicabstract]

@@Piyututu, play and practise with different taals - Teen taal, Ek taal, Roopak Taal, Jhap Taal, etc. Try different speeds. See how much you can progress on your own.

Jay sir who is the Flute maker? all flutes are mindboggling..and behind you , its like Swords...

[@musicabstract]

The flute I am playing on in this video is made by Subhash Thakur, Punam Flutes, New Delhi. More recently, I use flutes made by Kanti Patel, Mumbai. I hand crafted the flute display visible behind, a couple of years ago.

[@newgen8186]

Thanks Thakkar ji for all your videos, one request can notation lit up while you are playing it.

[@musicabstract]

True learning of Rāg music lies in trying to decode the notations “on your own” in real time via multiple listening sessions coupled with attempts at playing simultaneously, no matter how long it takes to get a knack for it. Spoon feeding only creates an illusion of learning.

[@goilee9716]

playing with D bass is matter or preference or any other reason for you use D bass flute on quite few videos.... up until now i thought E bass was the only one used for concert level playing.... how would your tunes sounds like if played in E bass?

[@musicabstract]

I get this a question a lot. D is a matter of preference. I use D most of the time, except for some videos, where I use a C bass. A D or a C bass does better justice to the sonority of Raag music as compared to an E bass, which I find too shrill. That's why I gave up playing on E bass way early in my career after a few concerts. Also, D is better for my voice when I occasionally demonstrate vocally, if I'm playing a vocal composition. E being a standard is a myth, although, there are reasons why this myth is so prevalent. That's a topic of discussion for another day.

[@goilee9716]

@@musicabstract thanks for the reply Jayji. yes would like to read more on this topic. thanks

[@musicabstract]

Prit Lee, you are welcome.

[@lucaorlandi3716]

Wish i could play D bass flute to follow your Lessons..... Im sorry because i like your playing.... Isnt D too difficult for beginners?

[@musicabstract]

Glad you are enjoying the music. Why not try a D and find out on our own?!

[@lucaorlandi3716]

I am trying with bass E but still little difficult because of the finger..... I will continue to exercise my fingers and maybe in future.....

[@musicabstract]

Good luck with practising. All the initial difficulty in getting a grasp over the instrument will seem worthwhile when you look back after some years.
