A special treat for Beatles fans if you've never seen it. But this is George Harrison receiving a lesson on how to play the Sitar from Ravi Shankar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erLZ-zW9Ti4 At the end, George shows us why he was so great. MQ: Thoughts on the vid? MQ2: What musician that you enjoy plays another instrument outside of his regular? It could be as simple as John Paul Jones switching from Bass to Keys. It could be as obscure as a Triangle or it could be the Drums. I'll add that it's one thing to hear the instrument being played, but to watch him learn how to play it is such a cool experience. Thanks Smiley, I'd like to see the full-version, but I have yet to find it. Thank you for the info on Ian Anderson, I actually just picked up Aqualung (I raided a collection of my friends' father) and I'm excited to hear it. I will certainly look at the albums you mentioned along with what appears to be their most popular. Again, thank you for answering and I try to keep it as original as possible, as I've been getting bored with Answers (I think people might have noticed, since I hardly ask Q's). Oh I forgot, I will look at the video link you posted when I get home from work. Thanks! (I can post 'em, but can't listen to 'em).... read more
