Not sure how you'd do it, but I'm sure it would be a great video.

Put out a sitar video on the 2nd channel chatting about it :) well more playing it I guess, not so much on recording with it.
Once big challenge when recording with it was just keeping it in the same place with the mics. Have to wedge it into the wall so I could walk away from it and hit record between takes.

Not to directly here, more so going through the regular metal playing moves and seeing what still works on the instrument.
Rob Scallon
2017-03-04 21:55:04 +0000 UTC
Yea! I think this actually works out really well. Would be cool to put vocals on it, maybe with Sarah
Rob Scallon
2017-03-04 21:53:34 +0000 UTC
Yea that's definitely on the to-do list
currently I'm between whether I should write a 4-ish minute song with what I've written on it so far or if I should expand that to a half hour.
Leaning towards half hour.

Saw this comment on the 2nd channel video for Sitar and figured I'd spread it here. Rob, you should do a half hour of Sitar. 500 likes on that comment. I'd love to hear a new half hour video with Sitar only.

Damn, Rob. This is so catchy. I'll never get enough of this. It's shame there is no Sitar metal band, it would be a real blow-up

Would love to, this same shop I filmed in had some lutes as well. Really only a matter of time until I put something together with them

well thanks for watching it!

Yea, I'm planning on doing a few videos like that soon. I really enjoy making stuff for the 2nd channel. And it did take some getting used to for sure. Had a similar feel to a scalloped neck but like, times ten.

Glad you liked it! In this case it was just a matter of finally get my hands on a sitar.

Glad you dug it!

I would be interesting to hear you talk about the challenges/differences/lessons-learned after recording with a sitar. Cheers!

Some slayer inspiration on these song?

This video further confirms my theory that you can and will play any and every instrument ever. I expect a notorious BIG "gimme the lute" cover in the future. (forgive me for the terrible pun)

Rob your instruments never cease to amaze me! I have a suggestion for you, could you by any chance do a video with a lute? That would be insane!!!

I don't know how you come up with this stuff but keep doing it for the love of god :D

One of my favourite instruments combined with one of my favourite genres. More please ;)

I am actually just really excited to see the breakdown of hearing all about this video on the second channel. I would love to play around with a Sitar. Is it weird having the gap between the frets and the actual board behind it?

You know Rob, appreciated the fact that you would use your commentary to comment about how I commentated on your commentating.

Glad you enjoy it! Also, I think you'll like the commentary on your commentary parodying my commentary that I commentate on in the commentary.

Sitar, cheese and crackers sounds like a nice snack
Rob Scallon
2017-02-18 22:01:24 +0000 UTC
That was intense, but at the same time relaxing. One of my favorites now!

I used to have a wire cheese cutter.....I don't think I could touch this thing without imagining cheese and crackers.

19? haha, yea the biggest issue would be to dampen all those strings while trying to rock the solo :D but my interest is in how those long ring out notes would turn out, I need to get to that one day
Rob Lundgren
2017-02-18 21:23:07 +0000 UTC
Yea, I think it worked surprisingly well! Was a challenge to keep the sounds that define it as a sitar while also incorporating the rock/metal styles I'm used to.
Rob Scallon
2017-02-18 21:18:57 +0000 UTC
Thanks for watching!

I actually would love to listen to a band that made just stuff like this.
Rob Scallon
2017-02-18 21:18:03 +0000 UTC
haha awesome man. absolutely love it. always liked Sitar, worked well actually.

2017-02-18 21:17:59 +0000 UTC
Thanks! And in case like these it's more just taking a lot of my guitar practice to another instrument. Would be a long while until I could play it properly
Rob Scallon
2017-02-18 21:17:41 +0000 UTC
Would be interesting but it would probably just end up sounding like a crappy guitar. I can't imagine the 19 strings really all coming through when it was distorted.
Rob Scallon
2017-02-18 21:17:08 +0000 UTC
haha yea just about

Would be interesting to hear the sitar with dist, or maybe it would lose too much of it´s character
Rob Lundgren
2017-02-18 20:37:25 +0000 UTC
You really will make metal out of any instrument you find, huh?
