Of course, you find a sitar-esque instrument, and it's obligatory to play "wherever I may roam". Respect!

Despite listening to them for longer than I want to say-I still have no idea: did Kirk or James actually use a sitar on the album version or is it just effects?

[@totallynotjohn8083]

@@thedazedbandman hmm it actually sounds like a sitar on the album but it would be cool if kirk or james used a bunch effects to get a sitar tone on a guitar

[@antalantal2366]

[@billb6886]

So many 60's and 70's songs had sitar solos. One of my favorites is BJ Thomas "Hooked On A Feeling", and one of the most used in commercials is Pat Metheny's "Last Train Home". In concert he plays an old Silvertone electric sitar. That's one of the few guitars I've never owned, but now, you've inspired me to look for one. That one looks like it's not as much of a maintenance nightmare as the old ones.

[@larrybethune3909]

Don't forget "Paint It Black". Classic Shankar inspired grooviness.

[@K4RN4GE911]

Personal favorite of mine is the electric sitar solo in "Do it Again" by Steely Dan.

[@joermnyc]

Coral Sitar is the famous one from the ‘60s, with the extra harp strings, but there’s also their “Baby” model that looks like this, but still has that sitar sound.

[@kevindean1327]

I'm pretty sure Reggie Young played on BJ's tune. Reggie was on countless sessions with the faux sitar!!!

[@TranscendentBen]

That may have been the last popular song with electric sitar, and it was "after the wave." The previous one I recall was "Come And Get You Love" and that was about three years earlier.

Interesting choice. I don’t have a sitar, but I know how to make my guitar sound like one. I saw Joe Satriani do it in an instructional video back in the day using the heel of the palm on the strings. It’s difficult for me to do with any consistency, but it works.🤘🏻🎸

Thanks for showcasing a guitar sound that appeared in every 60's psychedelic tune! In hearing those songs back then I aways thought it was some instrument from India. Whereas, the guitar in this video gives the same vibe but looks just like a standard run of the mill electric guitar. Did you get the chance to see how the guitar was wired to ge that unique sound? Thanks for sharing!

[@BeatleJWOL]

It's all in the bridge, a kind of flat nut under the strings that they buzz against, creating that sound. Not sure how it compares to how an actual sitar bridge is made.
