Guitar Vs Piano

Q: Why do guitar and piano sound different even while playing the same note?

A: The “quality” of sound, also known as timbre, refers to the unique characteristics that distinguish one sound from another, even when they have the same pitch and loudness. Timbre is determined by the harmonic content, or the relative levels of different frequency components, of a sound. For example, the timbre of a guitar and a piano playing the same note will be different because the harmonic content of the two instruments is unique. Timbre is also affected by the way a sound is produced, such as the materials used to make the instrument and the technique of the player.

Raag Yaman Pattern ~ Tera Chehra Mujhe Gulab Lage

तेरा चेहरा मुझे गुलाब लगे
दोनो आलम में लाजवाब लगे
दिन को देखूं तो आफ़ताब लगे
शब को देखूं तो माहताब लगेरोज़ मिलते हो पर नहीं मिलते
ऐसा मिलना भी मुझको ख्वाब लगे
पढ़ता रहता हूँ तेरी सूरत को
तेरी सूरत मुझे किताब लगेतेरा चेहरा मुझे …
Your face looks like rose to me
Looks amazing in both times
Appears as Sun during the day
Appears as Moon in the night
You meet daily but are not really there
Such meeting looks like dream to me
Keep on reading your face
Your face looks like book to meYour face ….

Raag Yaman ~ Flower’s Wish

Don’t wish to be woven in the ornaments of celestial beauty,
Don’t wish to lure the sweetheart bound in the garland of love,
Don’t wish O’ God to be offered to the dead bodies of rulers,
Don’t wish to be placed on the heads of Gods feeling proud of my fate

Pluck me O’ forest gardener,
Throw me in that path,
To offer their heads to motherland,
The path where several brave travel |

राग यमन ~ पुष्प की अभिलाषा

चाह नहीं, मैं सुरबाला के गहनों में गूँथा जाऊँ,
चाह नहीं, प्रेमी-माला में बिंध प्यारी को ललचार्ऊँ,
चाह नहीं, सम्राटों के शव पर हे हरि डाला जाऊँ,
चाह नहीं, देवों के सिर पर चढ़ूँ भाग्य पर इठलाऊँ,

मुझे तोड़ लेना बनमाली,
उस पथ में देना तुम फेंक
मातृ-भूमि पर शीश चढ़ाने,
जिस पथ जावें वीर अनेक |
