Metal riffs on a SITAR actually sound INSANE!

Thanks so much to all my Patrons for making this video possible!

The funny thing is that sitars have an acoustic 'distortion'. The pure sinus/wave of the strings are limited by the special bridge, creating a distortion-sound :) Heavy metal indeed!

As one of your Indian subscribers, this was mind blowing, never imagined sitar in metal form. Kudos

[KilgoreTrout]

Ok that sounded way better than I could have expected!

[TheChooseAName]

Love it when people get creative with metal instrumentation.
I can totally imagine a band using this sound for a full album.

Bernth, I went to India in the 90s. Got there to Bangalore about 8 in the evening and we started driving through the country. Stopped at a café (I guess? It was four walls with no roof) and this instrument was being played. I don’t do drugs, but I swear it put me into a trance.

Damm!! It was not expected dude 😎 As an Indian it was insane 🖤..one more noticed that finger-tapping technique is applied on Sitar 😲

I never heard someone playing the sitar like this. Keep on pushing the boundaries and boldly go where no shredder has gone before.

I can barely churn out enter sandman on my six string guitar and you’re out here playing more complex stuff on a complicated instrument. This sounds so exotic and hypnotic. I feel like I’m walking the streets of Bengaluru as I listen to this. You did a magnificent job!

[VishvenderSingh]

You know Sitar is a traditional instrument of India and i know its not an easy instrument to play but you just played it very well...❤🤘🏻

[kacywatson]

Oh my God, I didn’t even realise that you can actually tap this thing and it actually sounds amazing actually sounds really cool. Got an incredible sound when it’s tapped. And I actually love this, traditional instruments that untraditional to metal being used in metal.

Screams intertwine with the sitar's cry,
A dissonant cacophony, bidding goodbye,
Drowning in sorrow, where shadows converge,
The sitar's grip tightens, a malevolent surge.

Killer sound🤘
Fun fact: Yngwie Malmsteen used Sitar on metal in the 90's (probably the first one to use it) you can here them on Fire & ice, Seventh Sign, Inspiration album prominently.

[NightShade_VR]

Ah yes the sitar, the king of wavy music and in this case a king of metal, well played Bernth!

[FiZ]

That was super cool! I also love that you preserved the sitar's sound instead of just distorting it to a generic guitar-style 🤘🏻

[BlazingShackles]

In India all the rockers hang out at Sitar Center.

[socialclubmusic_]

I love the droning sound of the resonance strings and you captured that quite well ! I'd love to hear you play more sitar on the channel ❤

[theknowledgeabletravellers]

I am an Indian and I don't like anyone messing up with any Indian instrument. But as a heavy metal fan my respect towards you have increased a thousand folds. You did justice. You are a creative genius.

[StevenDiLeo]

This is so sick, thank you for this metal sitar prescription Dr. Bernth

[HansaGBB]

It's cool that you always add some description on the video as the music plays.

Being an old, loyal and devoted metalhead, all I can say - is Fuckn' A! Sitar could definitely become not just a fresh breathe, but a gamechanger in the global metal music!
