RE: Sitar, darbuka, tar and riq improvisation.
This is first time I knew about Hiren Roy sitar. It look so unique. the concept is it similar as playing guitar? The rhythm from Hiren Roy sitar is so lovely. And your finger move it so well, it seems like you and Hiren Roy sitar blended into one. How long you learn Hiren Roy sitar?
This sitar is from the 60s. Hiren roy was the builder who made george harrison's sitar from the beetles. I bought this one from an old school hippy in seattle. It is pretty close to the same as guitar except you mainly play one string and bend it alot. The other strings are drones.
It a cool music instrument @sketch.and.jam, in 60s musician already so innovative to invent such cool instrument. You learn it yourself?
