D E D C – C – – – Swa-mi-na-ra-yan Remember to play slowly and meditatively
A full will contain dozens of songs, but here are three of the most requested dhuns with basic melody lines. Remember to play slowly and meditatively.
| Problem | Solution | | :--- | :--- | | The notes sound too "Western" | Avoid playing the third note of the chord (E in C major) too prominently. Use only C and G for a holy, hollow sound. | | I cannot find the PDF for "X" dhun | Transcribe it yourself. Listen to a recording of Pujya Keshavjivan Swami or Shree Muktajeevan Swamibapa. Mark when the pitch goes up (Sa to Re) vs down. | | My fingers are slow | Practice the dhun in 15-minute segments. Devotional music is meditation, not a race. |
This dhun involves slides. On piano, you cannot slide, so you play a grace note. For example, if the note is E (Ga), quickly play D# before hitting E to mimic the vocal slide.
