Sitar (19 strings that aren't as complicated as they seem... well maybe.)

Master of his craft, well spoken, infectious smile, calm demeanor, clearly in love with what he does, I salute this man!

I know this type of content can't come out forever, but as a musician i just adore everything about this series! So amazing to see these fantastic (and underrated in the USA) instruments get more of an audience!

Abhik seems like one of those rare humans where you can't help but smile being around him. Just infectious happiness and love of life. And he seems to love every moment of sharing his music and teaching his craft. S-tier person.

of all indian solo musical instrument..the sitar and the sarangi are undoubtedly the best

I love how when Abhik was playing the sitar, it had that rich Indian classical sound, but when Rob picked it and played the first thing, it sounded very American folk-ish and still sounded realy good. That was really interesting to listen to. Shows thatthe instrument has applications in other forms of music as well.

Love seeing two pro musicians just jam. These videos are my highlight of the day whenever they release!

I never imagined a guitar and sitar would sound so good together, I have watched this video so many times just for their jamming session.

That guy freaking rips! Beautiful sounding instrument too!

When they went into minor and started jamming, I could literally listen to that all day, sounded so ominous and ethereal.

Abhik is clearly a brilliant player, but I’m distracted by how infectious his smile is! He seems like such an incredibly fun person!

Although my brain is about burst into flames trying to understand how the sitar is played, it's one of my favorite instruments to listen to. It conveys so much emotion and depth. Depending on what is beginning played, it sounds as if its crying

This dude is simultaneously super calm and super metal.

Dude, those were some sick jams. And honestly, it seemed so natural and easy. That dude is definitely a pro and you can tell he just loves and lives to play. Amazing stuff. You should totally feature him on a proper track. I dig it. Nice work guys.

That sitar player has got to be one of the most skilled musicians I've ever seen. That was awesome

10:43 is a fusion I NEED more of. I REALLY liked that. I was vibing!

First three minutes and I found myself laughing along with their conversation. It feels so natural and comfortable. Heartwarming. I think that's what lured me into your videos. The genuine laugh and just people enjoying each other's company.

The sitar player is an amazing musician, whenever rob played a melody during a jam the guy just instantly picked it up by ear. Amazing!

Wow, Abhik Mukherjee has the most patient and peaceful demeanor. This was a good one, Rob.

This is so cool! I began to like sitar music when I first heard The Beatles, incorporate it in the 60s and early 1970s, when I was in high school. Then, later in college I found a cassette that was an "introduction to Sitar music" produced by Ravi Shankar, where he narrates, describing each element of the sitar, chords and notes and each of the drum-like rhythm instruments. He explained that "we should consider it to be like Jazz", and to listen to it with an open mind. I kind of fell in love the sounds and even to this day, in 2023, I still have that cassette, which I play on special occasions. To set the mood, I dim the lights and burn incense. Ravi had such a soothing voice to listen to. I felt like he was guiding me through a meditation. Thanks to You Tube, I have found even more sitar music to "groove" to. Thank you for this video, as I had never seen the instrument explained and demonstrated to this level.

The Sitar is a very imposing, yet majestic instrument. I love the unique, flowing sound, and the elegant design of the instrument!
