Jacob Anderson

You really will make metal out of any instrument you find, huh?

Rob Lundgren

Would be interesting to hear the sitar with dist, or maybe it would lose too much of it´s character

Marius Killingdalen

WOW, you blow me away yet again! It's amazing how you are able to play all these instruments so well...

Rob Grady

WOW! That's amazing Rob!! Works so well! You're so talented, keep it up!!

Would be interesting but it would probably just end up sounding like a crappy guitar. I can't imagine the 19 strings really all coming through when it was distorted.

RobScallon
>>3979441

Thanks! And in case like these it's more just taking a lot of my guitar practice to another instrument. Would be a long while until I could play it properly

Doodles

haha awesome man. absolutely love it. always liked Sitar, worked well actually.

RobScallon
>>3979783

Yea, I think it worked surprisingly well! Was a challenge to keep the sounds that define it as a sitar while also incorporating the rock/metal styles I'm used to.

Rob Lundgren
>>3979428

19? haha, yea the biggest issue would be to dampen all those strings while trying to rock the solo :D but my interest is in how those long ring out notes would turn out, I need to get to that one day

Matt Kouba

I used to have a wire cheese cutter.....I don't think I could touch this thing without imagining cheese and crackers.

That was intense, but at the same time relaxing. One of my favorites now!

Glad you enjoy it! Also, I think you'll like the commentary on your commentary parodying my commentary that I commentate on in the commentary.

Seven Stone

Needed a boost of inspiration...accomplished...amazing once again you magnificent bastard!

Ian Hall

Haha, this is epic! Don't know how you keep coming up with this wonderful stuff .

Ryan Peacock

The Scene is Reborn. Should be on a part 2 of your album :D This is great :)

You know Rob, appreciated the fact that you would use your commentary to comment about how I commentated on your commentating.

I am actually just really excited to see the breakdown of hearing all about this video on the second channel. I would love to play around with a Sitar. Is it weird having the gap between the frets and the actual board behind it?

좆같네

One of my favourite instruments combined with one of my favourite genres. More please ;)

Tristan Thompson

I don't know how you come up with this stuff but keep doing it for the love of god :D

Bryan Lai

Rob your instruments never cease to amaze me! I have a suggestion for you, could you by any chance do a video with a lute? That would be insane!!!

Thomas Hill

This video further confirms my theory that you can and will play any and every instrument ever. I expect a notorious BIG "gimme the lute" cover in the future. (forgive me for the terrible pun)

Carlos Lara

Some slayer inspiration on these song?

Luis Navarrete

I would be interesting to hear you talk about the challenges/differences/lessons-learned after recording with a sitar. Cheers!

RobScallon
>>3980280

Glad you liked it! In this case it was just a matter of finally get my hands on a sitar.

RobScallon
>>3982211

Yea, I'm planning on doing a few videos like that soon. I really enjoy making stuff for the 2nd channel. And it did take some getting used to for sure. Had a similar feel to a scalloped neck but like, times ten.

RobScallon
>>3989312

Would love to, this same shop I filmed in had some lutes as well. Really only a matter of time until I put something together with them

Wisdoms Wind

Damn, Rob. This is so catchy. I'll never get enough of this. It's shame there is no Sitar metal band, it would be a real blow-up

Timothy Castiglia

Saw this comment on the 2nd channel video for Sitar and figured I'd spread it here. Rob, you should do a half hour of Sitar. 500 likes on that comment. I'd love to hear a new half hour video with Sitar only.

RobScallon
>>4052397

Yea that's definitely on the to-do list currently I'm between whether I should write a 4-ish minute song with what I've written on it so far or if I should expand that to a half hour. Leaning towards half hour.

RobScallon
>>4044169

Yea! I think this actually works out really well. Would be cool to put vocals on it, maybe with Sarah

RobScallon
>>4006934

Not to directly here, more so going through the regular metal playing moves and seeing what still works on the instrument.

RobScallon

Put out a sitar video on the 2nd channel chatting about it :) well more playing it I guess, not so much on recording with it. Once big challenge when recording with it was just keeping it in the same place with the mics. Have to wedge it into the wall so I could walk away from it and hit record between takes.
