Taking techniques from different instruments and applying them to the guitar can open up a whole new approach to the instrument and add freshness to your playing and ideas.
In this lesson, we will look at approaching the guitar in the style of a sitar and Indian mandolin. A sitar has many strings (up to 20, to be exact). Ironically, out of all of these strings, most of the time only one of them is used to do the actual playing. The others are sympathetic and drone strings. A sitar player plays mostly in a linear fashion up and down on that one string.
As guitar players, we started out learning our scales in box shapes across the neck from E to E. Many players can play a scale from low E to high E at blinding speeds, but if you ask a lot of players to now play those scales only up and down on one string, they will probably not be able to play them quite as fast for two reasons. First, they don’t know the scales as well note-wise as they do finger-memory-wise.
Second, playing up and down on one string requires rapid position changes they might not be used to. In the following examples, two different ways are given to play these scales: picking, which is more of a sitar approach, and legato using slides, which is more of a Indian mandolin approach. The Indian mandolin isn’t like the double-stringed, Western mandolin. It has six single strings like a guitar and is a little larger than the Western mandolin. You will often hear legato-type phrasing on this instrument.
