1. Try to spot the transitions - can you detect where Ry Cooder and Viswamohan Bhatt hand over to each other? How do you recognize the hand over? Think of timbre, instrument quality, other factors that alert you to the transition.

2. Are the musicians responding to each other's musical ideas? Try to describe this interaction in your own words (or other forms - even a plot, or a figure!). Can you detect phrases in  the development of melody? Can you detect similarities or patterns in how they each explore melodic space through phrases?

3. What are the differences that strike you most between the clips? Just write from your own aural and visual experience.
