Songs are made up of surs, the songs that we will be posting will be broken up into constituent surs.
Just like the frets of a guitar the rabab as “parday”, strumming individual cords while holding onto these parday will result in the desired surs.
These two videos by someone titled BOGRA3 on youtube, explains the basics of rabab. We certainly couldn’t do a better job explaining it, so will be sharing these videos as a starter, follow the instructions and the recommended practice time, and you will hopefully be ready to move on to more complicated combinations i.e. songs.

I have very recently gotten a rabab, I want to start off learning by identifying clearly on which string a certain sur falls.
The labeling in the Bogra video lesson 1 Is significantly different from the sargam pictures that you have uploaded for each song. Can you please upload a picture showing the position of each sur on the rabab. For eg Sa is open string in Bogra lesson 1 video on the first string after the 3rd fret.
