In this Vid you can see how one can play INDO-FLAMENCO-GUITAR-PERCUSSION, a Style of Guitar-Playing that I have created based on the essence of Flamenco and Raaga. A truely innovative Fusion of two worlds.
The style is a combination of Guitar, Tabla and Congas all played on one acoustic guitar
A JOURNEY ON THE ROUTES TO THE ROOTS : Part of the Flamenco roots can be traced to India. I was fortunate to learn about the depth of influence of Indian music on Flamenco in a Seminar on Flamenco at the SINTI & ROMA CENTER in HEIDELBERG a few years back.
As I was always playing the guitar with percussion ( played simultaneously on the same guitar in one go ), I could further develop my style of playing the guitar.
My style of playing is inspired by Flamenco, Indian Raaga / Indian Folk Music. For me, it has been and is always be like a JOURNEY on the MUSICAL-ROUTES to the MUSICAL-ROOTS.
In this, Vid, I have played my own music JOURNEY ONE ( composed specially for this style of playing ).
I have played on OVATION CELEBRITY Acoustic Guitar which is about 20 years old ! My guitar has taken, so to say, a lot of beatings as I play the strings and percussion simultaneously on this OVATION most of the times ! Inspite of this, The OVATION is still in perfect shape !
For making this HOW-TO-PLAY-VID, the guitar playing ( with percussion ) on OVATION has been FILMED separately and over-imposed on the AUDIO-TRACK. So, you might see some sequences that are not synchronized well.
So, please listen to the music and enjoy !
Thanx 4 taking the time and Cheers from Lucius and The Olympic Music Messengers !
