Rory Gallagher playing solos on a Coral sitar!!
Steve Vai plays a Coral sitar on a WS song:
It's not on the '87 album that's pictured tho, it's on the next one--Slip o' the Tongue.

I've got a Radha Krishna Sharma sitar which is very beautiful & sounds magnificent. The Real Deal!
I've taken only 5 classes but my teacher's so good I already sound sort of like I know what I'm doing!
I'm composing my first original piece on sitar already! It's called Sunset.
It has elements of the Moody Blues song by the same name, which was a spontaneous occurence that works out PERFECTLY for my instrumental.
Been working up an instrumental version of Norwegian Wood too since I just learned that Duane Allman played sitar on that & that song done instrumentally would open shows he & Gregg did with the Hourglass in Cali in '67!
I've heard that David Crosby told George about sitars but another story is that George discovered one on the set of Help! or Hard Day's Night.
Anyway...
George made a trippy album called Wonderwall which was a movie soundtrack (the movie SUCKED pretty bad)
While still with the Beatles he recorded Wonderwall & the sessions also produced his song Inner Light:
Lyrics are basically from the Tao Te Ching. This was George's first song on a single. It was the B side of Lady Madonna.
Within You, Without You is gorgeous too:
I told my sitar teacher I gotta learn to play that before I die!
Raga Rock is a 60s thing. I aim to bring it back in style!
