Re: [arr] Re: Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?
Mr.Thulasi Ram, Agree there are new people who have begun to voice their opinion. Well i joined the yahoo groups on upon the requests of Vithur and Kalyan. I used to post regularly on the orkut ARR community, after which vithur had requested me to post to the yahoo groups too. I was contemplating of joining the discussions from a long time and it so hapenned that the day i decided to do so, there was this question of whether Bass guitar is "unique" to ARRso i jus felt that certain facts had to be cleared. If it had been abt ARR's Bass works, i wldnt have brought IR into the discussion at all. Newayz it felt nice to see a lot of active members participating in a lot of sensible and thought provoking discussions. I do hope to join with some of my posts soon. Just a bit held up this week with lots of office work. Also yahoo blocked in my office, so Jus modified my settings so tht i cld reply from Gmail. Jus to introduce myself to u'll, i'm Ganesh from Mumbai.

Re: [arr] Re: Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?
Yes... let's stop ;) His question, which is - using bass guitar is unique to ARR, itself brings MDs into picture. I belive there's nothing wrong in discussing other MD's work in this regard. Chord - Question for you: How are you able to bring up a new topic every day? I am really surprised. :) On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 7:18 PM, Thulasi Ram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > ok i think lets stop here.. discussion was for ARR and its moving to > discussion on other MDs.. as always, we can see new people voicing their > opinion for non-arr stuff.. huh... > > > > On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 12:27 PM, mbthuglak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Not trying to push a point here - just pointing out to have a wider > > perspective! > > > > Quoting verbatim from what Guitar Prasanna said in > > http://www.raaja.com/guitarprasanna/ > > > > I have never heard a guitar even remotely out of tune in Raaja's > > songs for example (believe me, that's very rare in general).

Dude ganesh n ! just join the preparatory course in ARR school which is open to all ages, will help you to appreciate music indepth. Or there are music professionals here.

Re: [arr] Re: Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?
got it raghu.. as a matter of coincidence, when i was reading ur mail, khalbali song just started to play in my playlist and the electric guitar (or synthesizer guitar stuff) in the beginning of the song is a perfect example of ARRs mastery of music and technology... that bit is terriffic and the percussion is absolutely mindblowing.. we can always hear "perfect" music and mix from ARR. he is a unique musical genius On Sat, Mar 22, 2008 at 10:33 AM, arr_raghu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thulasi Ram, I agree that ARR is pioneer is projecting > professional value of any instrument.. not just guitar. > Regarding that question, neither do I have any examples > of IR using bass... but the idea came to my mind for the > reasons that IR is a guitar expert by himself and uses > 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 > compose 700+ films without using bass. > If we talk about ARR's Vellaipookkal, kamosh raath, > jumbalika, likku chuppi , n-y-nagaram, roobaroo standout for guitar > not just bass. > > > --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com , > "Thulasi Ram" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Raghu! din expect this from u!!! any examples of that MD using an > electric > > guitar??? i've hardly heard his songs have any traces of guitar.. > and it is > > really surprising to hear that he used every possible version of > guitar.. > > oops!~! > > > > i dont know abt RDB but i think that one should agree that ARR uses ever > > version of guitar or any other instrument in the best possible way > it could > > be handled.. > > > > ARR handles the sound even from a dolak in a more "professional" > manner.. > > that's his amazing musical trait.. > > > > the song that immediately strikes my mind is "kannodu > kanbedhellam".. the > > melam percussion was handled in a serene way and it added so much > beauty to > > the song.. there is only one reason for that: it is ARRs magic! > > > > On Thu, Mar 20, 2008 at 8:25 PM, arr_raghu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Illaya Raja must have used every possible version of guitar. > > > > > > arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com > > > , Prasad > > > Varma wrote: > > > > > > > > I am afraid not. > > > > > > > > I think RDB first used it way back in 1970 in the song Gulabi Ankhen > > > from The Train. > > > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4e3hQDsEJQ > > > > > > > > RDB had a trademark sound characterized by a unique rhythm and the > > > bass guitar in the back ground which made most of his songs instantly > > > recognizable. > > > > dont have th > > > > Here's another example from Yeh Vaada Raha which came out in the > > > early 80s: > > > > > > > > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Svsh7ayHRak. > > > > > > > > Of course I also love the way ARR weaves the bass guitar around his > > > melodies sometimes building the entire song around the bass loop > > > itself.

Re: [arr] Re: Is using bass guitar unique to ARR?
Raghu! din expect this from u!!! any examples of that MD using an electric guitar??? i've hardly heard his songs have any traces of guitar.. and it is really surprising to hear that he used every possible version of guitar.. oops!~! i dont know abt RDB but i think that one should agree that ARR uses ever version of guitar or any other instrument in the best possible way it could be handled.. ARR handles the sound even from a dolak in a more "professional" manner.. that's his amazing musical trait.. the song that immediately strikes my mind is "kannodu kanbedhellam".. the melam percussion was handled in a serene way and it added so much beauty to the song.. there is only one reason for that: it is ARRs magic!
