Werner, I am not on Musescore. I use the software to produce standard notation (and occasional TAB for guitar or mandolin if someone asks me for it) of tunes I will be playing with fiddlers or other...
Thanks, Werner. I think growing up in a musical tradition gives a future player a somewhat unique advantage. I was so lucky to have my maternal grandmother (a fluent Gaelic speaker) who sang many...
For historical purposes:
I see that the thread you have highlighted dates back twenty years, Werner, and has never been added to since then, as far as I can see. I would say that the responses to Marian's question are...
Good question, a good way to answer this is to make a list of all the different types of rhythm, and then Post a couple of YouTube videos for each type with comments on why your particular one, is a...
Not sure if there was supposed to be more to the post above, but here's the tune, a pipe march, on cittern. The second one piece, Fr. J.A. Rankin, is a Cape Breton fiddle tune. If the links don't...
Thank you for your willingness. But you better not rewrite on Musescore. It then sounds too computerized.
When you make a recording and upload to Youtube (or something similar), I'll be very happy.

Yes, a very interesting composer. There are not many scores on the Internet.
I arranged his songs. You can find some examples here.

Made a few more videos for this series. I suggest working through them in numerical order as they build on each other.

And this one is just magical.
The vocalist is stunning, and the percussion dual is insane.
Zakir is a god.

Carving is farmed out too, a lot of the time. ...
Most sitar makers get pre made instruments from Miraj, where the gourds are grown, and do the final setup and call it theirs.
The better makers, like Hiren Roy, Rikhi Ram, etc. make their own from...
It happens to a lot of people.
They go to india and buy a sitar, which looks cool, but is a fairly pedestrian market sitar.
Most sitars readily available in india are less than ideal.

Yup, Vilayat Khan was an astounding sitarist.
Truly one of the greatest.
His style was very different from that of Pandit Ravi Shankar and Nikhil banerjee.
Vilayat Khan was from the Indadkhani...
He was a great player!
I'm also fond of Vilayat Khan too.
To me, Nikhil Banerjee is the greatest Sitarist who ever lived, and also one of the greatest musicians who ever lived, regardless of genre or instrument. His music is so incredibly rich and deep. It...
