Koi Saya Zilmilaya -Ghazal Hariharan Zakir Hussain – Hazir – Indian Singing Guitar

Song from the album Hazir – Hariharan & Zakir hussain. Gibson Les Paul through Spider 4, mic on camera.
Fun remembering the rhythm structure, finding the spots to start singing while the rhythm goes on. Getting back on the rhythm train at the right spot to match the melody with the bars.
Most of the time the vocals starts after a count of 10 or 11. 6+4 or 6 +5.
Hariharan's singing teaches one of softness and smooth changes, over sharp edged slurs.
This song has a main movement from Root major to a major chord which is a minor 3rd away.
Of course, my hindi…
