Left hand of Sarode

The left hand is used on the Sarode like the guitar, but with some key differences.
The fingernails are used as frets. So pressing the fingers on to the strings requires strong nails and a position that differs from the guitar. Also sliding the notes is achieved this way, so getting the position right requires person to person lessons. (or you tube). Like all other endeavors it takes the average human ten thousand hours to master anything on the Sarode. Or, five years at eight hours a day, or, as is more the case, twenty years at two hours a day. Start practicing!!!
