Sep 29, 2009 - George played sitar on Both songs and the exception is ' The Inner Light ' !

humanRights7 Says:

Sep 29, 2009 - What a non-sense comment ! Ravi is a Sitar-Master but what is Macca ?

steveconn Says:

Sep 29, 2009 - According to the best book on the Beatles, Revolution In the Head, The North London Asian Music Circle played most of the sitar on Love You To.

Sep 29, 2009 - who is Ian McDonald ? My references are Mark Lewisohn's and Harrison's autobiography, 'I ME MINE'.

Sep 29, 2009 - Well he is only the most sucessful songwriter in the world! I bet if Paul picked up the sitar and played it it would be more interesting than what Ravi bores us with.

Sep 29, 2009 - This is a truly ridiculous discussion ! Macca who is a western pop song-writer could make sitar which is an ancient indian music instrument sounded more interesting than Mr Shankar !!! Macca-fanatic always amaze me !

Oct 9, 2009 - Harrison embraced Indian music and instruments, and helped broaden the horizons of the other Beatles, as well as those of their Western audience!!! Ravi Shankar is the best sitar teacher and legend!!

Oct 9, 2009 - The following is an excerpt from the book, "The Complete Beatles Chronicle" by Mark Lewisohn (ISBN 0-681-02890-4) : "George only had a brief role [in the film 'Raga', documenting the life of Ravi Shankar]...and shot his contribution on 10-11 June [1968] at a country location overlooking the Pacific Ocean, in the Big Sur area south of San Francisco, a 45-minute drive from Monterey..."

xplay108 Says:

Oct 25, 2009 - It looks like his hands are falling when he messes up! But I love how the sitar sounds and I would love a rebirth of sitars in rock music

Oct 26, 2009 - I can't think of any other teacher and any other location if I wanted to learn something this peaceful and shooting. With the mountains and the river. It would have been such a great location to learn something like this

MrJas1991 Says:

Oct 27, 2009 - So Ravi Shankar had a show in Ann Arbor, MI (I go to college here), and I didn't know about it until the night of the show! What a horrible thing to miss!

joncosm Says:

Nov 5, 2009 - It was when George first started with the sitar in 1965 ("Norewian Wood" from Rubber Soul) that the history of music changed forever!!!
