Make Your Acoustic Guitar Sound Like A Sitar
by Jason Hannah on Apr.06, 2010, under Guitar Tune Up
I have a guitar pedal called “The Weapon”, and one of the settings on the pedal (the main reason I bought the pedal, actually) is a Sitar Emulator. It does a fairly good job at making my electric guitar sound pretty close to a sitar.
I found this video, though, of a very simple way to make your electric guitar sound similar to a sitar.
Doing things like this, especially for peo0ple who do NOT know how to play traditional Indian music (being from India, not Native American), is a great way to discover new and interesting sounds on your way to writing creative music.
I haven’t tried out this technique, but I plan on it soon. Even though I have the sitar pedal, I’ll still give it a shot to see if I can get any interesting differences between the tones.
Check out the video, let me know what you think:

Welcome To Creative-Music.org
Welcome! This blog is not really intended to give you step by step instructions on how to do some kind of creative music project (since it seems like that maybe defeats the purpose of wanting to be creative!) Instead, I hope to inspire you with ideas, examples, and exercises meant to get you thinking more creatively about how you write or perform your music.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT A MUSICIAN...
You still might appreciate some of the things we'll be talking about. The ideas are going to focus on music because I love music, but if you're creative enough, you can apply a lot of the basics to whatever art you may be into. So stick around!You can also subscribe by email by filling the field below:
