  • The Beatles- quote " Its very much easy to learn basics of Guitar but too hard to Even dream Learning about Sitar the Beauty of its sound can take you to different level " Unfortunately they left after the first lesson, they found it too difficult AL though sitar featured in the "This Bird Has Flown" and "Within You Without You. George HarrisonTook lesson from Shankar and Shambhu Das.The Rolling Stones used a sitar in "Paint It, Black" ,for those who thinks music is piece of cake "Take a hike"
