Oh, you mean sitar!
I had sitar lessons once, when I was on my 'hanging out with George Harrison who was hanging out with Ravi Shankar phase'
Playing ragas for hours on end sat on my legs, cramp, numb feet, jacked it in.
That and the Asian scale isn't the same as the Western one (AIUI) with more steps between octaves, hence most of it sounds tuneless to us and why there'll never be a Bob version of the Rolling Stones or even Marillion.
Could have 'The Loving Needful' or 'Steel-eye Pakistan'..Comment
