Ravi Shankar discusses playing the sitar

First broadcast on October 26, 1983. A master at playing the sitar,
Ravi Shankar, also composed the music for the soundtrack of
"Gandi". According to Shankar, there are 72 scales in Indian music
and when he plays music, 90% of it is improvisation. Younger people
became interested in playing the instrument after Shankar announced
he was teaching George Harrison of the Beatles how to play the
sitar. There is an excerpt of an interview with Shankar from 22
years ago, to the date of this program.
