Does anyone play the sitar?
    #28187649 - 02/14/23 08:09 PM (1 year, 4 months ago)

I think it would be cool to learn how to play the sitar. I would love to take some acid, sit back, and play some ragas or whatever on a sitar. 

It's very relaxing and psychedelic.

How did you learn to play it? How hard is it to learn? What advice would you give on buying a sitar?

Ive got one, theyre really tricky instruments, takes 30 minutes to tune it any time you wanna play it properly and they go out of tune while you play them,  theres lots of little tuning beads,d delicate knobs and moving parts. The frets move around to different scales. It takes a lifetiime of dedication to be any good with it really, but they are awesome. The sympathetic string resonance is like real life magic when its tuned perfectly. You play on the scale you fine tuned it all to and the sympathetic strings resonate along with your playing like gold rays musical sunshine out of metal strings its pretty wild and psychedelic. But you also have to invest in a real sitar and consult a sitar dealer properly about it , the cheap ones are trash and dont have the right craftsmandhip to allow for proper resonation . Theres a guy called sitar junky in washington state who would help you right

Do the super good quality ones stay in tune for a little longer than other ones?

There are ones that are modernised fitted with guitar like tuning pegs and they keep in tune better and pro sitar players use them a lot so seems like a good option

Yeah - have one, but like trees has said, it's a fucking hassle to keep maintained/tuned etc. breaking strings sucks, and they're huge.

You can get really cool guitar pedals that will turn it into a sitar basically - they're a bit pricey, but boy are they fun to play with. Not a perfect replacement obviously, but it satisfies a huge portion of playing a legit one.
