How Ravi Shankar was charmed by Beatles guitarist George Harrison

In an archive interview the musician Ravi Shankar, who has died aged 92, recalls his time teaching the Beatles guitarist how to play the sitar. Pandit Ravi Shankar, the virtuoso sitar maestro who introduced Indian classical music to the world and inspired the Sixties 'psychedelic' sound through his collaboration with the Beatles, has died. He was 92. The legendary musician passed away in San Diego where he was recovering from an operation last week. His widow Sukanya and daughter Anoushka, his sitar protégée, said he had been too frail to withstand the strain of surgery. The sitar ustad or master had continued to perform, usually with his glamorous daughter Anoushka, who is a bestselling musician in her own right, and he gave his last concert just five weeks ago. His other daughter from a previous relationship is the American folk soul singer Nora Jones. Pandit Shankar's passing was mourned by the Indian prime minister, Dr Manmohan Singh who said he was a "national treasure and global ambassador of India's cultural heritage."
