My New Obsession of Sitar Riffs in Rock History


This morning I rediscovered the sounds of the Danelectro Vicent Bell Coral Electric Sitar. I was instantly drawn into the rabbit hole that connected the dots to the songs and riffs I know and the imapcts on rock history... Get ready to join me on this journey... Let's get to it:

As part of the preparation for the Centenary concerts, I’ve been having an illuminating time delving into my father’s catalogue to make new arrangements of some of his incredible compositions. I couldn’t bear the thought that we wouldn’t be playing any of it tonight, so I asked many of my father’s students to record from their own homes around the world so we could play for you. Here is a taster of what you will hear when we reschedule these shows!
