Sitar rehearsals
PKG is having their Kannada cultural celebrations this Sunday. I was invited to the event by Durga’s mom Suma. She’s an architect and interior designer and an amazing sitar player. I was called to help out with the music parts. Akshita was playing the keys and I made it really easy for her to play. Durga already knew what she was playing and it sounded great when they all knew the parts. Suma also taught me a new scale which is called the Jog , which was more like the pentatonic major with both the minor and major intervals. It was quite difficult to play any chord over it other than the root. But then I suggested a chord progression that fit in and all were happy. Looking forward to rehearsals and their performance.
