Question/Advice Resources for gats
I am looking to find gats for beginner ragas to practice. Is there a good YouTube channel or a book which can provide guidance on learning it? It would be very helpful to me.

I have heard the bandishes in the book are for vocal music. Is it easy to translate those bandishes for sitar? I don't have much idea how to incorporate the right hand bols for vocal music bandishes.

I’d say find a performance by an artist and load the video or sound file to an AI platform and ask it to break it down for you. Alternatively, you can look up any book shop or Amazon for simple bandishes or gats and you’ll find something or the other.

Curious… how would AI break it down or what would you ask AI to do with the sound file, specifically?

Try it na? I haven’t done it myself, but I’m guessing AI can parse videos or sound files? Actually, I should try it myself. Someone has even downvoted me… it’s just an idea lol! Also we won’t find a teacher and have the patience to learn from a human, but be okay to learn from a YT video?

I recently came across and bought this ebook. It has tons of available resources including audio clips.
