Kangal Irandaal (With Meera Manohar)

March 16, 2009

Meera suggested this song a while back. All I can say is that I fell in love with it instantly when I heard it and decided to give it a shot. I have always been open to trying different styles of music, but I was very skeptical about this one. There were several factors that…

Catch the Rainbow (Rainbow Cover)

March 16, 2009

This is probably one of my top 5 most favorite songs of all time. I used to listen to this on loop endlessly back in college and Iâ€™ve waiting almost 10 yrs to do this song. I was never able to find a guitarist to cover this for me (due to the complexity or lack…

March 12, 2009

Iâ€™ve wanted to cover a Linkin Park for long now and here it is finally! This is one of my favorites â€“ One Step Closer. This is classic Linkin Park showcasing their Nu Metal/Rap Rock style.

Across the Universe (Beatles Cover) – Dedicated to Amma

March 6, 2009

This is a vintage Beatles number, written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney and sung by Lennon. I love this song for various reasons but the two main ones are the simplicity of the melody, the amazing lyrics. This song is dedicated to my dear Amma as it happens to be one of her favorite…

March 1, 2009

This is my favorite song from the movie Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na. I am very happy to upload my first duet with Smitha. Shes done a fab job singing. She had some issues with her recording setup as a result of which her voice sounds a little muddy. As always, harmonies have been…

Sudeip and George cover Beat It (Michael Jackson Cover)

February 21, 2009

I love Michael Jackson and think hes an artist whose music transcends time. He defined a generation! Heres the story behind this venture…..I was working on an original composition with a friend of mine and wanted Sudeip to do the guitarwork for it. So I suggested he try something like the guitar work in…

I did this song on Valentines day. Me and my wife were never big on V day celebrations.. hence this song :-), just as a joke. This is an old Ugly Kid Joe song that I had covered a long time back, but felt like doing it again. This is always fun to do…

This song is from the tamil movie Vaaranam Aayiram, and is just my second tamil attempt. I’ve worked with Tara before and she’s done a splendid job on this song.

This is my first duet with Srividya. I want to thank her for introducing me to this beautiful song and for singing this with me. I think she has done a splendid job! As compared to my other covers, Iâ€™ve introduced very few (if any) improvisations in this song based on advise I received…

My wife and I were on the road a month back or so, and happened to hear this song. She had a sudden desire to hear me sing this song and so here it is! This is a Tom Petty classic. Its kind of odd that I listen to Tom Petty almost every day and…
