Cool things you can do with the AxeII and a Vigier Surfreter

[TakaraGold]

Hi guys,
Just wanted to share this crazy Sitar sound I got with my new fretless Vigier and an old Sitar preset I got from Yek's presets I think. I stripped the preset down, and added an additional chain for a clean and highly compressed guitar tone (Fender Vibrochamp and Santiago Altec cab).
So I got the true guitar tone mixed with the Sitar tone.
I had a Tampura D droning backing track playing and just improvised a bit over it.
The Vigier is simply a whole different instrument. The possibilities are limitless, and with the AxeFxII, I have the power to create a universe of sounds.

I suddenly find myself desiring a fretless guitar. (I already have an Axe FX 2!)

I have a fretless. Now I need your patch, and to study some scales! Cool work, cool playing!

Thanks.

There are seven main modes in Indian music (major scale = Bilaval) from these 7 all ragas come from. There are a few books with a ton of scales/modes/ragas my favorite being Ragapedia by Ashwin Batish!

On a happy note I just received my invitation to buy the Axe (been stalking for waaaay too long) and I can't wait to hook up my Sitar, Bouzouki and guitar!
