Hi Pavan, I understand the point you are trying to make.. But I guess my mail conveyed a wrong message to you.. Actually, I had a doubt whether the instrument used in the Ithu oru ponmalai pozuthu song was really bass guitar..I am not gud in identifying bass guitar or other instruments for that matter.. So wanted to know, so that I can learn more..thats it.. No intention of doing doing comparison between IR-ARR on bass guitar I dont think i am qualified to do that as I cant even properly identify bass guitar first :) Thats the reason i made the subject line 'Non ARR'. If i am making a comparison its related to ARR and I wud have made it ARR :) .. Sorry if my mail conveyed wrong message..
btw, I definitely second your thoughts though it was not exactly the reply i was expecting :) And also thanks for the links you provided.. I understand bass guitar better now..:) Regards, S.V.Nagaraj --- In [email protected], arr pavan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 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. > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=_izL5KkDbhU > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=oQqb6KPpRoM > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=owiXDr1xQ8Y > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=h2qaO9QyHCk > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=4LA0d-8q0XQ > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=qeUQF7pdn7M > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=Em71WU3H638 > > http://youtube.com/watch?v=h2qaO9QyHCk > > > > > Nagaraj <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Is the starting part of ithu oru ponmalai pozhuthu a gud example of > IR's guitar? > > --- In [email protected], "arr_raghu" <arr_raghu@> 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 [email protected], "Thulasi Ram" <karokelip@> 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 <arr_raghu@> wrote: > > > > > > > Illaya Raja must have used every possible version of guitar. > > > > > > > > [email protected] <arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com>, > Prasad > > > > Varma <svspvarma@> 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.
