Not sure when there is a talk of Indian style, why only a few names come up, like Ravi Shankar or Zakir (tabla player)...may be they have more exposure on the west these days. They are legends but there are THOUSANDS of other big artists and names out there in India or Pakistan.
You should check out Shawn Lane's recordings with Jonas Hellborg if you haven't. "Good People in Times of Evil" is a great record to start with. P.S. I see Ted Greene!
the only bit that realy sounds 'indian' is the fast slideing bit. However the sound of the quick slide is recreating the sound of the 'sitar', which could make the effect without sliding.
Great video! I would just note though that one reason for emphasizing those notes such as the M7,4,6 etc. is to suggest chord changes while only playing one note at a time, by outlining the triads of various other chords (like playing A,C#,E in a row, suggesting the 4 chord).

Just love indian influenced guitar playing. Has a special sound that I think needs to be explored more. Reminds me of this one artist named Nadaka.
