Meet Our Guru: Who Will Guide You
Amano Manish
Amano Manish is a gifted slide guitar player trained in the Senia Maihar Gharana tradition, which was founded by Acharya Allauddin Khan sahib.
In his early childhood at his hometown Jodhpur in Rajasthan, Manish picked up this unique instrument – the slide guitar – quite naturally after watching his father play popular melodies on it. Later his serious nurturing in Indian classical music started with maestros like Pt. Basant Kabra, an eminent sarod player, and Pt. Brijbhushan Kabra, hailed as the ‘father’ of Indian slide guitar. During this time he also made a documentary film called The Guitar Odyssey for Indian television, depicting the story of how Pt. Kabra came to adapt the guitar for Indian music.
In 1997, after moving to Puné, Manish resumed his musical training with Pt. Shekhar Borkar, a master innovative sarod player from the same Gharana tradition. Pt. Borkar inspired him to bring about many changes in the playing techniques of his instrument, and eventually helped him flower in his own style. His renditions are now enriched with tuneful intricate glides and melodic phrases blended with various staccato patterns.
Indian Slide Guitar
In his early childhood at his hometown Jodhpur in Rajasthan, Manish picked up this unique instrument – the slide guitar – quite naturally after watching his father play popular melodies on it. Later his serious nurturing in Indian classical music started with maestros like Pt. Basant Kabra, an eminent sarod player, and Pt. Brijbhushan Kabra, hailed as the ‘father’ of Indian slide guitar. During this time he also made a documentary film called The Guitar Odyssey for Indian television, depicting the story of how Pt. Kabra came to adapt the guitar for Indian music.
After Pt. Kabra’s innovative intsroduction of this instrument to the world of Indian classical music, it was left to Pt. Vishwamohan Bhatt to successfully take it to audiences worldwide. He aptly calls his model of slide guitar mohanveena, as its hypnotic sound would never fail to mesmerize its listeners.
Another maestro who has taken this instrument to heights of melodic exuberance and technical dexterity is Pt. Debashish Bhattacharya. Hailed by the world press as the ‘fastest slide guitarist alive’, he has designed and developed three models of Indian slide guitar – chaturangui, gandharvi and anandi.
Manish presently plays the model Chaturangini but with some changes in its string arrangement and using his own playing technique.
structure of teaching
The teaching is based on the approach of the “Guru shishya parampara“. The Guru holds the instrument along with the student with the blessings and the lessons provided by the guru is the fundamental way of learning the instrument. Instrument of own is mandatory for the learning. The intruments in learned by the classical ragas pattern only in the classical music rather than other kind of music. With all kinds of the experience of the guru, learning this way of the teaching is most favourable as well as suitable for the studenets growth in playing that instrument.
This approach creates a deep, respectful, and personal learning environment, where the guru not only teaches techniques but also shares inner knowledge, discipline, values, and spiritual insights.
