A guy playing the sitar in New Orleans. I gave him some change and asked it I could catch some tunes. He said yes, and now you can too ...

  • im surprised he is not getting arrest for possessing a long weapon xD

  • I think that might be a veena, telling by the bell gourd thing near the head. I'm not sure though.

  • Awful, awful playing.. I've seen some creative applications of sitars that were beautiful and very different from their classical use, but this is just fucking garbage. If he were doing this with a guitar, everyone would be laughing at him because everyone in the west understands guitar... He is exploiting the fact that the sitar is an exotic instrument in the US so people are fascinated by the tonality without bothering to consider the actual playing (which in his case, is just terrible)

  • @thomascperez All I was saying was that he was making a tune on the sitar that he enjoyed, who are we to say he's wrong in doing that.

  • @gzussturbo

    This sounds good?

  • I live there and we arnt all retarded.

  • Wow. He is the next Ravi Shankar!

  • That BONG HIT HE TOOK MUST MAKE HIM THINK THAT HES JAMMING

  • Bad pose... No Mizrab... That Sitar is a crap.... + Shit player... = OMG

  • man i told john lennon he shouldnt have went to asia
