Craig Ogden (guitar) in conversation with Roopa Panesar (sitar) 

Exactly mate

Western is material nd indian is spritual

@@NishantSingh-qe7vv haven't heard a lot of classical guitar, have you?

Amazing way to put it

Both are beautiful forms of music. I have grown to love ALL kinds of music, from metal to jazz, classical to rap, there isn't many genres I really do not like. The beauty of classical is every country and culture has it's own sound and classical pieces. Indian classical music, Chinese classical music etc, they all sound of their country of origin, and are all beautiful to listen to. Music is what sets humans apart from our animal cousins, as no other living animal has been able to compose music, music is the collective voice of humanity x

... what?

India's heaven ,,,,you mean?

Bhai swarg mai bajate hi honge naarad

You stole my comment 4 months back. I second you

@@tonmoydeka7319 No . All heavens my dear . Listen to guitar and see the sweetness in it.

what an irony. your name😂😂🤣

Language also has its own beauty..you touch soul with music but touch heart when you speak someone's language.. my idea of it!😇

I think we need both

Yup, music makes you a better person.

Sadly this isn't quite the thing. All the children's songs in the west are really just meant to pass on the whole 12TET V-I mindset that our ancestors have done. The arabic and indian 24TET sounds untuned to most westerners as it's not what's forcefully put into our brains at a young age. That's why I'm here actually, to get "un-used"

Is the sitar disciplined?

The background music is driving me crazy

@@MykTheOccultist Beat me to it, I'm 3 months late.

cuz we respect our goddess of knowledge saraswati we have to be disciplined to show respect for music which is one of her ability 😉

@@randal7101 its tampura in banground used during yoga and meditation in india

I love the sitar very much , and the sound its so heavenly !

Her name is Roopa

From an Indian? she's British with Indian heritage

Its tanpura playing in the background.

@@sagnik489 no the sympathetic strings vibrate passively creating an almost spooky "breathing" effect.

@@RobertSlover not for that long and the sympathetic strings aren't that deep. You cant see the speaker to her left

@@yessidolemerchant5143 how do you know tom?

@@RobertSlover I played guitar in a fusion band with a sitar, he could play the drone strings to create an accompanying sound but to get that continuous rich drone he would use a tanpura backing track. Just look how long Roopa Panesar is leaving the sitar without playing as the drone continues, strings don't reverberate for that long, its clear that the speaker right beside her is playing the tanpura drone

+Joshua Rosen Thanks for sharing Josh, great that you enjoyed the video.

LLP

With you. What a pleasant experience listening to them.

@@uog293 Not bringing man,It was developed in india , Thanks to their music taste

​@@uog293 lol music is haram in islam...

​@@aishwaryaprakash229 Muslims appropriated and stole our culture

​@@uog293 Tell me the musical traditions of the origin countries of these so called mughals....shithole central Asian countries gave india music... yeah right

Between 8:55 and 8:59, the blend of guitar and sitar just gave me goosebumps 😍

Make one on Sarangi plz

You are right. It is just Nationalistic Pride. Most of those Indians know nothing about Music. I, as an Indian, recently had an argument with someone. He was saying that Melodies in Western Music are very Mediocre, Western Music has only 2 Scales and so on. I had to school his a**. Nationalism is like a disease, whether you agree with me or not. Countries, western or eastern, try to instill a sense of pride in their citizens by promoting their history and culture. This is sad because people should have only one Identity : Rationality. Everything else is less significant. This Realisation will stop people from making comments like the ones made by the Indians in this comment section. Anyway, from an Objective Standpoint, Western Music, in general, is Nearly Universal, not Indian. Why ? Coz Indian Classical Music has ALWAYS been NON HARMONIC. However, Indian Classical Music is Awesome just the way it is. Why ? Coz it has Evolved very Beautifully in a Non Harmonic Way, thanks to the Unique Approach to Melody and Rhythm in Indian Classical. The System of Raag and Taal make Indian Music the most Unique Non Harmonic Musical Tradition on this Planet and I say that with 100 % certainty. Legendary Indian Composers like Shankar Ehsaan Loy and A. R. Rahman have combined Indian Classical and Western Harmony so beautifully that their Music is one of the Finest in the world, at least according to me. Anyway, my point is that anything that is worthy of appreciation, because of it's Beauty and Uniqueness/ Originality, should be appreciated, without any kind of pride. Why ? Coz Pride clouds our judgement and makes us narrow minded. When I realised this, I started loving All Kinds of Music. That is what we should care about, as Rational humans ...

@@DipayanPyne94 Thank you for this wonderful response

@@vincentdequiram1102 No worries ! I always like to be factual or objective. It's the one thing that most people don't care too much about. That's why they end up saying all kinds of BS 😂

@@DipayanPyne94 What's "factual" about someone's personal opinion ? What's 'objective' about personal taste ? You are reading too much into peoples comments .Most of the time it's an acquired taste or conditioning ,not some "nationalistic" "chauvinistic " premediated attack on guitar 😆 .

@@kunjukunjunil1481 There's nothing factual about people's tastes. That's right. That wasn't my point. My point was that people should be factual and objective. They are often not. Their subjectivity is reflected in their musical tastes. When they start judging others for different tastes, that's when the problem starts. That's what I am against. Now, even in music, there are certain objective standards. For eg, there is no concept of harmony in Indian music. This obviously makes Indian music incomplete from an educational standpoint. Indian music can NEVER be Universal. Western Music is Universal, only because it has Harmony. Finally, if it is really just acquired taste, then new tastes can also be acquired. For that, people need an open mind. The mind often becomes closed because of nationalism or cultural pride. That must stop. Simple ...

Thank you very much! We're really pleased you're enjoying them and finding them interesting. Thanks for watching!

the beatles figured this out in 1967. i love the sitar. i believe a piece written for both by master of both would d well.

johnny moses lol this isn't Roman gladiator times there isn't multiple gods

Tinjana iguana -------------Well said. It is time for philosophies like, those who wear only "JEANS" will go to heaven all those who do not, or wear casuals are going to "BURN IN ETERNAL HELL"

Tijuana iguana Exactly, and everyone know that the true god is the Flying Spaghetti Monster :)

Tijuana iguana You are aware that in the world there are a lot of polytheist religions and people practicing them (more than monotheists, in fact), don't you?

@@shiva_MMIV nah, there are more monotheists, Christianity has 2 billion people following it, and Islam has almost 2 billion too

Thank you for the lovely feedback.

Not related, just talented musicians from UK

Every good musician develops their ear...................

@@cyanhallows7809 but there is no concept of notes in Indian classical music.. Each and every musician has to learnthe Raaga by heart and to do that they spend hrs everyday for decades..

@@ChinmayLive raaga is the concept of notes, what are u talking about there is no concept of notes. loony

​@@cyanhallows7809no need be rude. What's he's trying to say prob is that Indian music is mostly improvised and has an oral tradition. It's not "sheet" music as in the western classical tradition. It's never written down. Ragas are not written down, they have a fixed melody, some structure and mostly improvisation.

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. Please do subscribe to the channel for more from our artists.

She had a tambura drone on her phone. But definitely a beautiful made sitar.

It’s actually quite annoying to me on its own. It’s just one note sustained forever pretty much.

@@musicworship4520 guitar It is recognized as a primary instrument in genres such as blues, bluegrass, country, flamenco, folk, jazz, jota, mariachi, metal, punk, reggae, rock, soul, and pop. And sitar is a traditional instrument and we can play most of the music types . In this video the sitar changes our mood that's what I meant by feelings and that feeling dosent mean it's love it's the spirituality which u told. But ha sitar sounds best in indian classical music . And guitar in western . So u can't compare them , I compared them with the feelings we get by listening to it

God I hope I never hear jazz sitar fusion

Why? They've done every other instrument. Jazz violin, jazz synthesizer, then you got the vibes, flute, trumpet with effects, electric guitars and whatever else. It's as though they want to do jazz with every instrument. Everyone except one. Hey look. I just found bagpipes jazz. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2nekk4tJoqo.html

I guess my concern is that there's an increasingly higher inclination to seek extreme novelty in music rather than taking the time to build an interest from its primitive states. It's a low grade gratification for the viewer and it kinda just leads nowhere except to another messy cultural crossover. And it doesn't stop there!!

Extreme novelty? So what would that be? Whenever I think of novel approaches to music, I tend to think of artists who are highly respected. Bela Fleck comes to mind. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, György Ligeti. With music I always tend to think "why not?" rather than "should I?". There's no rules. You have incredible freedom to do whatever kind of crazy sound you want. Personally, I'd like to hear more extreme novelty. Also, I found it. Someone is doing jazz fusion with a sitar. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E36mrhSaXT4.html

Of course there's the freedom but why is that such a good thing? Take an existing discipline and bend a couple of subtle rules...then you're cooking with gas!

So?

How do you judge that someone is the number one player of their instrument in the world?

satya padma so how is she number one ???

It is funny that you think Anoushka shankar is better than Rupa Panesar. In fact Anoushka is pretty ordinary, she used to be a lousy one, but improved recently. However, her skill and talent come nowhere near Rupa's.
