Carnatic & Western Guitar

The Carnatic and Western guitar is a unique fusion instrument which merges the intricate melodies and rhythms of Carnatic music with distinctive styles of western guitar. This makes it possible for guitarists to explore different types of music from classical Indian ragas to jazz and contemporary pop. The blend of techniques from both musical styles has given birth to a rich, versatile sound that allows for originality and exchange. Not only is its use in fusion intended to broaden one’s horizons but also it enhances the artist’s technical ability.
