Sitar


The sitar is a string instrument that has been used in Hindu classical music since the Middle Ages. It started to be used in rock music in the 1960s. The Beatles' George Harrison used the instrument in Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown), Love You To, The Inner Light and Within You Without You. The instrument was also used in Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones.
