I was only gussing, didnt confirm.
Just occured to me that how can the guitar gold medalist

Re: [arr] Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?
A bass guitar is very low sounding on the octave. You have to pay attention many times to listen to is since it's usually well mixed in with the other tracks. Only in certain songs is the bass track outstanding in its relative volume level. Other guitars are higher pitched and have better lustre tone and texture. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Sunder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have a small doubt, whether the guitar used in Athiradi song in sivaji film is also a base guitar? what is the difference between a normal guitar and base guitar?

Re: [arr] Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?
my guess is a collective mix of acoustic bass guitar and electric guitar.. basically, u can find all songs from ARR that has the bass guitar embedded in the final product (song).. use of acoustic bass guitar + electric guitar can be heard in the na na na theme (athiradee theme) that is used for SUPERSTAR credits On Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 10:06 AM, Sunder [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi I have a small doubt, whether the guitar used in Athiradi song in sivaji film is also a base guitar? what is the difference between a normal guitar and base guitar?

[arr] Re:[Non - ARR] Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?
Dude Nagaraj ! few days back, i read an interesting thought of words from a
real estate advt as told by a 13th century saint. It says, Do what is
necessary. In that, do what is possible. Suddenly you will find yourself doing
the impossible. Arr is the case of impossible thing that he excelled to skies.
Including IR sir, those who all gave chance to ARR in his initial stages must
be thanked at this point. Arr certainly worked with a good task master, maestro
Ilayaraja. You need to be motivated to reach heights. IR other such directors
have been a cause of motivation for ARR.
From there ARR sharpened moulded his creativity. Without the basics main
curriculum you cannot jump to creative point. These video links related to
guitars for those who think IR otherwise. Lot more there on these lines. When
we prepare our Resume, we do not ignore our previous employers include them
as our experience. We are grateful to previous employers for giving an
opportunity howsoever we differ with them. While we were struggling for an
opening, we got that job. I could say we would definitely gained more
confidence in work in initial stages which makes to move to next offer so on
to do our own business successfully.

guitar extensively in his compositions whenever it is possible.
I was only gussing, didnt confirm.
Just occured to me that how can the guitar gold medalist

Actually Rahman use the Bass effectively in every song.. But only in
few songs he brings it in mainstream rhythm.. Eg. Chinna chinna
Aasai, Mustafa Mustafa, Aye Udi Udi, Chupke Se.. etc. etc.

Can't agree more Chord. These days ...effective usage or as you

But ARR's use is extra-ordinary ..in fact there are just so many
songs where even without us realising the Bass is what powers the
song entirely .
The songs from Taj Mahal, Meenaxi and En Swasa Katre ...come to my
mind immediately where he has used the bass incredibly well in

Correct me if I am wrong Ni Mein Samajh gayi Bass appears programmed on a synthesizer. Chaiyyan Chaiyyan was a song where the guitar (Bass Lead)dominates and creates a rock kind of environment. This was an exceptional master piece including the song itself which no other music directors have been successful with such experiments. If another bass guitar work claims its the Noor Un ala song where the beginning Noor Noor Noor word is sung and the Bass mix is just unique. Now remember kabhi Neen Neem from Yuva, how come nobody noticed the beginning and the first interlude a brilliant composition and programming. The beginning of kandukondein kandukondein is mesmerizing but is always special. Kehna hi kya (Bombay) was done completely on a Bass guitar and claps leaving aside the alaap from our BOSS in the first interlude. It would be crime if I dont consider Tu Hi re (Bombay) which was again a complete Bass Guitar These were just the few rays from the sun more its discussed is the more light.

Correct me if I am wrong Ni Mein Samajh gayi Bass appears programmed

Chaiyyan Chaiyyan was a song where the guitar (Bass Lead)dominates
and creates a rock kind of environment. This was an exceptional master
piece including the song itself which no other music directors have
been successful with such experiments.
If another bass guitar work claims its the Noor Un ala song where the
beginning Noor Noor Noor word is sung and the Bass mix is just unique.
Now remember kabhi Neen Neem from Yuva, how come nobody noticed the
beginning and the first interlude a brilliant composition and
programming.
The beginning of kandukondein kandukondein is mesmerizing but is
always special.
Kehna hi kya (Bombay) was done completely on a Bass guitar and claps
leaving aside the alaap from our BOSS in the first interlude.
It would be crime if I dont consider Tu Hi re (Bombay) which was again
a complete Bass Guitar
These were just the few rays from the sun more its discussed is the
more light.
RDB Illayaraja also had enough good songs in their kitty with IR
himself being an excellent guitar performer he too tried few
exceptional songs. Churaliya hain Tumne jo dil ko from RD Burman is an
evergreen song.

Re: [arr] Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?
Can't agree more Chord. These days ...effective usage or as you say -
justice :-) is done only by ARR and Vishal B
But ARR's use is extra-ordinary ..in fact there are just so many
songs where even without us realising the Bass is what powers the
song entirely .
The songs from Taj Mahal, Meenaxi and En Swasa Katre ...come to my
mind immediately where he has used the bass incredibly well in many
songs ...

RDB had a trademark sound characterized by a unique rhythm and

instantly
recognizable.
Here's another example from Yeh Vaada Raha which came out in the

Of course I also love the way ARR weaves the bass guitar around
his

itself. Perfect example - The title song from Dil Se:
