RONNIE MATTHEW MANAPPALLIL - THE ILAYA NILA GUITAR PROJECT (HD)
Friends! Here's a song that I wanted to cover for a long time, a classic in it's own rights.
This is one of the very few Indian movie songs that features an acoustic guitar in it's real glory, essence & beauty.
I am neither a proponent, nor an expert in using a guitar to emulate the vocal melodies as
that is not the true nature of this instrument by virtue.
But I have a lot of friends who are amazingly talented & versatile at doing that.
So I got a little inspired to try it out, though only limitedly successful.
I tried to cover my inefficiency in playing the blazingly quick gliss & hammer-on/pull-off modulations ("As Gamakams") commonly used in
the Indian style of guitar playing by trying out some common techniques like bends, vibrato & dynamic control. Sorry for that!
Gave a little bit of my own flavouring to the acoustic solos as well as the drumming on the acoustic breaks.
So puritans, please don't curse me!
Watch in 1080p or 720p in HD setting.
For optimum audio experience, headphones or monitor speakers are recommended.
Hope that you will like it.
Kindly Like, Share & Support.
Please shoot your comments, Love or Hate!
Peace & Love.
Ronnie
