    Good intro to sitar
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2006*

Having bought a sitar, which came with a not-too-helpful manual, I bought a book ("Learn to Play on Sitar", also from Amazon), but I still had a lot of questions.  There are some things that just make more sense when you see them.  He does a good job of explaining tuning (the top strings, not the sympathetic strings), and the sitting position.  He got me to the point where I had my sitar in tune (ignoring the sympathetic strings), sitting correctly, and making some noises that weren't terrible.Of course I still had questions - but this is only the first video in a series.  Playing the sitar is just not something you are going to pick up in five minutes.

    Ashwin Batish video
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 20, 2004*

This is a good video to introduce those new to the sitar to things you will need to know.  The Dhun at the end is also entertaining.
