Amrit sikhiwiki3/15/2024 ![]() ![]() You can figure this out by listening and counting this out. It is helpful to know how many beats your shabad is. Some shabads, the shabad may start off at beat 9 in teentaal or beat 5 in kehrwa for example. The start of the taal (beat 1) or the sum, doesn't necessarily equate to the start of the shabad. Counting out beats really does help, and if you don't have an itabla app or person to play tabla, you can get someone to count them out for you. I figured that part out when I started to learn the tabla myself. Now the opposite is true, where there are times I understand the skill of the tabla player may be limited in the taals they know how to play, or not knowing where to start the shabad, or playing too slow or too fast. Where it didn't match I didn't understand. Before that I had no conceptualization of what the tabla was doing, and thus no concept of where I made errors in the rhythm of the shabad. As he wrote them out, I was starting to understand how the beats of the shabad match to the beats of the tabla. I was very fortunate in learning how to write out shabads from Bhai Gurcharan Singh Ji (Singapore), and reviewing over and over how the beats of teentaal match shabads. This is particularly true if you learn by watching keys rather than learn by the Sa-Re-Ga-Ma-Pa method. One of the challenges when learning kirtan is learning how to match to the tabla.
