thanks singh,

i was readint this book and it was saying there are half notes on sitar, i know ma and ga, but never knew of "re" and "dha"

the frets to the sitar are exactly rthe same as the frets to a taus or dilruba and anything like that. hence i ask the sangat here who know more than i do about half notes etc.

I emailed my friend and he said:

re flat is in between the shudh re and the sa frets. and dha flat is in

between shudh pa and shudh dha. The frets for dilruba are just there so you

kno the basics, once you achieve the basics, you can add in these notes. it

tends to squeak at the beginning, but as you become a more accomplished

dilrubaist/tausist, you can use these half notes easily.

In sitar, you have to move the frets to better suit your hand. in dilruba

and taus you should not move the frets.

hope that helps

ok now i understand that, but still dont understand it.

can your friend post a pic of where re and dha (half note) are?

lolllll......i play tabla does that help....

i remember when i went to the gurmat sangeet at the guru ghar, they taught sitar vajaa and tabla (i chose sitar)

only one girl played tabla from what i saw and she found it sooooo hard.

on tv i only seen one kuri playing tabla

glad to see theres more kuriya playing tabla

dha ghi naa ghi tin taa

are they even notes on a tabla? i remember the little kids had to play that for two minutes.

The Re half note (Re komal) and Dha notes are as follows... Re Komal lies

between the normal shudh Sa and Re notes and the komal Dha lies between the

shudh Pa and Dha notes... I attached some pictures to help you out...I took a

course with Raj Academy and got these pics from there... If you're in Toronto

though you could get in touch with Nampreet Singh or Rupinder Singh... You could

also gimme a shout it would be nice to sit down with you and jam... I''m just a

beginner as well so it would be a good learning experience for both of us... Hit me

an email at rsingh18@hotmail.com or add me to msn. O yea in the attachments

one is the female scale and one is the male scale.
