Don't watch this on youtube, get the DVD, it's sooooooo worth it! All in all definitely the best concert DVD I own and a TOTAL must have for ANY Beatle- and George-fan.
Thanks paulsbass. Up to now, I've only seen the footage on YT but do own the CD. I'll be sure to put this on top of my next Amazon order.

Indian music is very serious music. It really moves your heart and is difficult to play. I received a Sitar for a Christmas present last year and it is an amazing instrument. It takes a lot of patients to tune and play buy very gratifying. I can see why George loved the instrument so much. It puts on another level musically.
I've been meaning to ask you how the sitar lessons are going. Any progress?
To the fountain of perpetual mirth, Let it roll for all its worth.

No lessons yet officially. I have been teaching myself and learning from watching videos and the internet. I was laid off from work a few months ago so I am waiting to start work and then I will take a real physical lesson.
Thanks for asking.

You are welcome. Self teaching just might be the way to go – worked for George! Good luck.

Norwegian Wood. The perfect song to start with.

Zig – George may have started off self-taught, but quickly realised he needed some proper tuition. Hence the trips to India in (I think) 1966 and 1967.
Ravi Shankar was one of his teachers. I once read a quote, possibly by him, saying that Indian musicians laughed at Norwegian Wood when it came out, because the sitar playing was so amateurish and simplistic.

And to think I love how the sitar sounds in there.

The thing with me is I don't know what constitutes good sitar.

I am sure it is the emotion and passion one puts into playing. Right now I am just making a lot of pinging sounds on it. I also play guitar and Ukulele and have a duel with one of my friends so we want to use it for a couple of numbers. I wish I had more time to spend on it.

Has anyone purchased the new Blu-Ray version of 'The Concert For George'?
I heard it was recorded in High Definition and was wondering how much better it is from the standard DVD release.
