Lesson 19

There was a lot to learn today. We continued on the Kaida, played some variations of the Keherva as well as got to learn a lot about accents and how it changes the rhythm. Here, let me just mention the three new variations of the Kaida. We'll go into the details of Keherva in the next post.

Three new variations here. Guruji stressed the point here that we need to accent some of the bols otherwise this sounds like a monotone. For example, in variation #8 Line 3, the Naa in Ge Naa Tin needs to be hit as hard as possible.

Also, you could play the Chaati, that's the Naa but played flat and with full force. It really makes a huge difference.

Variation #8


Dha - Ge Naa |Tin Naa Ge Naa |Ge Tin Naa Tin |Naa Ge Tin Naa
Ge Naa Tin Ge |Naa Tin Ge Naa |Ge Naa Dha Ge |Dhin Naa Ge Naa


Variation #9


Dha - Ge Naa |Tin Naa Ge Naa|Ge Naa Naa Tin |Naa Tin Naa Naa
Ge Naa Naa Tin |Naa Tin Naa Naa|Ge Naa Dha Ge |Dhin Naa Ge Naa


Variation #10

Note this is a lot different because it starts differently


Ge Naa Dha Ge | Dhin Naa Ge Naa |Dha Ge Dhin Naa |Ge Naa Dhin Naa
Ge Naa Dha Ge | Ge Naa Dha Ge |Ge Naa Dha Ge |Dhin Naa Ge Naa
