The Indian music we hear today both northern and southern karnatic, originates from Persia. When the Persians invaded India the first time, they brought a system of music that was adapted by the native Indian people. Indian people actually have managed to preserve the ancient Persian music more so than the Persians themselves. The southern people of India actually continued to develop the musical system in quite a pure way. The northern Indian people lost their musical way when the moors invaded.

Practice You learn how much the space between the fingers is for a half step and whole step, and use a combination of muscle memory and your ear. The space between semitones only changes once you get very high up the fingerboard, which is generally quite rare. It’s not that difficult once you get the hang of it.

@@AlifLamMiim thanks lev, thats kind to reply

This is in Suzidil I believe Very dark Maqam, not Bayati or Nahawand in any way

@@AlifLamMiim true, suzdil I thought was more happy not dark. Maybe we are confused

Chris Dealny Do you know the notes for Suzidil? It’s stacking two Hijazkar Ajna on each other with the root of A, and playing with those notes around it give that kind of dark feeling.

@@AlifLamMiim I don't know the notes, but just compared with a Cemil bay Taksim.

Chris Dealny Hm, do you have the link? I would be interested to see
