I have a guitar so pay attention to this
especially can you cut the highs okay ah
I’ve been playing and studying music for
45 years I think yeah but you know I
mean and as I was studying I’m still
studying it I realized how those are
life do we hear the way the way you
organize yourself in your day-to-day
life and how you organize your harmonica
structure music is almost to say almost
the same but and then I kind of start to
study what I do in the life from music
and the other way around
– so and by the way that you don’t have
to be acquisition to understand what I’m
talking about it’s just basically about
life because music is within life and
it’s not absurd life okay so let’s
having said that let’s just I just pull
[Music]
okay now what does it be just a lonely
person somewhere without any point
embassy that can go anywhere does it
make sense but the moment I play another
note with it is pretty close to it like
for example from there to there the next
note or person and another one so three
notes or in this case let’s imagine
three people it begins to exact on a
sense like familiarity I’ve heard those
notes or music or whatever but the
problem is we have to exist
simultaneously you have to go it exists
in the society that’s upset it’s so
close
so let me just play them together so
sounds awful sounds disturbing and
clashing and you know unsuited
non-musical sure well having said not
musical this is also part of music but
it’s a different aspect of life we’ll
talk about it all the time but let’s
talk about the beautiful part of music
so so if that sounds disturbing and
almost like each knot is fighting with
each other and say I’m the main guy I’m
the boss I set the rules and the other
one they have a massive fight there I
can hear it
the pasta so what’s the problem here
they are too close to
they’re too close for comfort you know
they are like if you can see my
fretboard guys it’s like you went next
door
all right next door and if you played
them together isn’t different because
it’s too close to because you know it so
many people I can’t see so many people
but if you you know if you sitting too
close to each other you say hey you got
space they’re going to go there
excuse me so we leave it space so what
are we doing here we move the notes for
further apart so it’s not playing that
note here we go and put the third note
not there but there so now so now if you
put them together again it sounds like
this slightly better that this one it’s
but I still the degree of dissonance is
still there now what do we do
so now we cut the technique we know and
we do understand we have to be even
further apart if meaning give each other
space and respect and give our views a
chance
each one can believe in different things
and each one has their own place there
but not on top of each other but we have
to still exist so we have to find a way
to kind of have you know connected and
played up together so let’s just take a
some people might call it is a scale
doesn’t matter it’s just a series of
notes like a ladder steps and then the
moment I played this let’s imagine I
played seven nodes or eight nodes let’s
imagine there are people each one is a
is a person
[Music]
it’s like a community it’s like a little
family that is formed you know and
without you knowing a certain rules are
set you know what I mean I’ll show you
the rules are said and then someone in
truth this sounds awful it sounds wrong
is that intruder what is he doing here
unless he or she has a special license
to enter that’s another technique
destiny ado there’s another aspect of
life and hardly so the moment you play
the series of notes or some group of
people they set rules like an exam in a
society we have certain rules you know
you have to abide by those rules so what
do we do now so what they’re those notes
someone fine individually so I what I
mean is that we one note and then
another one people people people like
linear like this but if what if happened
what what if I play them together right
earlier we found out that we need space
for each other which is a little bit of
a problem in in this country there’s no
place for space you know that’s a
problem because it’s so highly competent
in anyway so what do we do let’s take
this series of notes which I just played
and take every other note you leave of
this one live or the next one hmm there
was the next one what did you get that
sounds pretty cool that sounds pretty
cool and go to the second step of the
ladder all the major scale or the series
of notes and do and play every other
note that
[Music]
so these are what we get from that
series of notes it’s like a small little
family’s out of the main load off so
that becomes the head the boss of the
family and we are like subgroups like
little families are the main big family
so this in this case this is a root
which is that thing the title of the
family liquor like dad or uncle G your
sin or singular so you know like so on
now let’s experiment by playing them
together individually sake
so let’s see the first four holes
this still sound fine so now we just
found out that you’ll get students so I
or coexist in a group if you maintain
some of the techniques and respect each
other give yourself space exactly like
the guitar or harmonic music if you play
two notes together like that three notes
together sounds dissonant and disturbing
not soothing well if you space them out
it’s the same exact note sounds fine but
there’s a problem
you freak up if you get music you have
to play to sad melodies you cannot just
play all along it’s like say okay you
know what I wrote for tunes for you guys
so he said which is the first song I
said okay
okay that’s nice what’s the second song
oh okay not sounded the same
what’s the third song ooh now it’s a bit
boring
okay what’s hotshot
what’s going on here so what we need is
variety it’s actually not but variety
same exact notes but different
combinations different spaces different
time variation sounds okay so what we
need is understand and study and pay
attention to the you break different
things but still within the same
parameters of the series of notions
pretend if you like that
similarly we play those little punching
groups of notes together which in
musical terms we call them cause again I
can color cannot keep playing them and
say okay I wrote a song analysis repeat
them so let’s just instead of taking one
two three four five let’s make a
combination like a different combination
like play it’s a three six three six two
five one so three six two five one fact
ladies
sounds kind of musical right familiar
notice here is every time I’m moving
from the chord at the last the second
last chord has the highest excuse me
highest tension area what I mean by
tension is is that it has a tendency to
resolve into the root chord which is the
number one chord or the number one place
which is the the main ski center or the
sector of the sound to resolve it to
that so tension release question okay so
so what do we do now is at least like
but us you provides a musician is
harmonic positions are greedy and we
want to kind of add more tension to it
so the resolution sounds sweeter I mean
I’m not asking you to go fight with
someone to create tension and then make
friends with them so now you know it’s
like what I mean is it stuff like that
so in your in other words in life when
you’re outside the house maybe have
hunger hungry and not being really doing
well and necessarily come back to your
same simple house so your room your bed
sounds like or feels like wow you know
this second palace it’s like a couple
fighting for three days and then after
that we they make up that off the
tension create the makeup and the first
eye contact this is like a heaven that
you want to dwell on the feeling that
emotional feeling you know then if Oh
life is good you know so the tension and
then you release
[Music]
like that but for that you have one set
what’s going on just like into life in
society never understand what is going
on what that we our friend or your
neighbor is feeling a might disturb
again am i doing too much am I getting
into his way you know what I mean what
if I keep doing the disagree thing it’s
a basic you know because if you don’t
have like everyday and you do like we
wake up with thinking odd same routine
every day and then I am looking for
surprises which is fine but unless you
do the same basic thing every day your
life is the necessities are not met you
know surprise separate but let’s stop
what surprises before that I’ll just
play the tension and release and carry
on play till you get bored to death I’m
gonna keep going and it’s a good thing
but it’s still getting boring so I did
surprise so I keep ball you little bit
[Music]
see it’s a different color their cups
different emotional expression so it’s
like he said you’re working every day
and then you want to go out on a holiday
I know but I think you come back fresh
it’s a different color different
emotional expression so what do you do
is you bring in variety surprises but
there’s a problem
if I keep going too many surprises that
gets predictable and boring too you know
what I mean so what is the best way to
get all that palettes the middle way is
the best way they say yeah so it’ll be
with basically balancing and
understanding the emotional content of
your musical is music or just living the
society you have to kind of go deeper a
little bit deeper and then understand
was the next person is really you know
so if you if you play this it sounds
kind of funny and then resolve it then
both of them sound good and they have a
point to each other why should you do
that and why should you do this
it’s like Miles Davis said once it’s not
the note that you play is it not after
subjection release and then one to the
right surprises but surprises if you
like a holiday if you go to the same
destination every time every year you
get bored of that too
so I gave him to change your destination
then you change the destination and then
go holidays every six months you get
bored of that and it’s an aha man I’m
tired of these holidays I want to just
chill out put my feet and have a drink
and watch TV a chill at home so what you
did you just come back to where you
started so you know what this is the
cycle of life music that this is exactly
what we do in a second as well so now I
tell you a little bit so I’ll try and
keep your demo of keeping the sameness
the pattern which is this what we start
with the basics with the variety this is
a magic we have this note or this person
this kind of wanted to hang out with the
budge guys the budget Isis and he acts
and then you said okay I like the
feeling and then one member of this
group leaves and another another member
joins the group the same guy is there
and then he said Oh another another
and then this guy says oh I’m bored now
I’m gonna move him another place so he
shifts from there too and he hangs out
and meets an entirely new bunch of guys
so now if you pick the whole thing
together
this guy is stayed in one place three
times and then move please and say there
see the because to sound like a pattern
and musical then he likes this pattern
of let’s take that place for some time
then moving on to note this so hip sees
so now it sounds like that whole pattern
is Johnny with all these beautiful
friends and hanging out with them and
the musical dogs he called them three
harmonizing that means you’re taking the
load and changing the background like
color filters like the white light and
the filters are changing at the back
green yellow blue and red whatever and
therefore the red lighting or the white
light is changing accordingly but the
white light is actually constant so this
is the white light the filters of these
th of light because it’s getting too
boring so you can see from music I can
feel I will not life about life at the
final senses of life from music from
this society to me we live in a subset
of people this is the Society of notes
at time and frets and strings and
whatnot dynamic system so what do we do
here is it’s like understanding the
differences and then try to work out
with the careful thinking and a little
bit of an open-mindedness you can work
out how to coexist you know I just
harmonize a whole heap of notes that
means people with minor changes here and
there we can’t coexist you know so it’s
not difficult but what we have to do is
first see where we can water where we
can work out and what we can do to solve
the problem so unresolved
in harmony you know so now these notes
are at peace with each other so peace
and harmony is possible and coexistence
is possible if you to understand how it
works how it functions so what I have
done is studying music and focusing and
play music or living together without
really only pointing out to the
differences and also embracing the
differences and enjoying the beauty and
admire the different beauties of varied
forms it’s a better life you know it’s a
better life and it is it’s great to
understand and then peace and harmony
comes like the music and we can co-exist
together coexistence is possible that
harmony and peace and therefore a better
society our guitar player my name is
Amitabha thank you for this [Applause]
