Hello,
My name is Mikilio, and I just wanted to say that your vids are truly eclectic have inspired me. Here is my interpretation your beautiful style

After seeing your videos, i am highly intrigued about the Sitar. I really want to learn how to play but i have heard that it takes a long time (10 years+) to actually even learn how to play simple songs. Also that its very difficult to learn just from books and videos. Is what i have heard correct?

I really want to learn how to play, the Sitar is the only instrument that has actually wanted me to play it. I haven't even touched an instrument besides the sax or the electric guitar. I'm discouraged about buying a Sitar, i don't even know if the ones online are even authentic :s
