This guitar was used for a solo on Steely Dan's do It again!

When he strummed the e string on it I instantly got nostalgia to valve games.

When you plucked the E low string I thought you were going to play wherever I may roam song by Metallica.

Saw Kirk Hammett use one live for the intro of Wherever I May Roam at the S&M2 shows, didn't know what it was at the time and was a bit confused lol

Tbh probably significantly more convenient than an actual sitar, which I hear takes hours of tuning for each new song to be played correctly.

I wish the sympathetic strings actually worked but that' still very cool! Do they have any versions without the faux sympathetic strings?

Steve Vai For the Love of god, it has this exact instrument goin in the background

Loving the comeback of the crackle finish

Whenever I may roam comes to mind

One of the reasons I enjoy this content is the masterclass of practice and performance you put yourself through to become as talented as you are. Never fails to impress.

I would love to hear 46 and 2 by Tool on this guitar😂

I'd love to hear an ebow on one of these

All I thought of when I heard that was 'play wherever I may roam'

I’m obsessed with the riffs in this short and I’m not sure why, but the pair so well with the instrument

Steve Howe used this on close to the edge, he has a really cool solo where he plays the sympathetic strings and the main strings at the same time

Rory Gallagher played one on his song Philby, love the sound of this tune

Reggie Young used one of these on Elvis's 'You'll Think Of Me' from the American Sound sessions in Memphis, 1969. Search for the alternate take w/o overdubs, session ace Reggie really rocks out in the coda.

I remember seeing these in old musicians friend catalogs as a teen

Jun Senoue used something like this for Sonic Adventure and I live for it.

I have the Rogue version. Probably my best employee purchase during my old GC days.

Thats sound is beautiful!

I always thought that was a pedal effect for a regular electric guitar Never was able to find the effect box til I learned it was a coral guitar. an actual special made guitar. Love that sitar buzzing.

A seven string version would take my money so fast

I actually really liked the sound coming from it a lot. It's really cool sounding guitar imo! 🤘🤷‍♂️

That is gorgeous! I love the sound of that.

The finish adds to the pig look since it looks like a very burnt pig roast

I wish he would update this clip and make it clear that the sympathetic strings help with the resonance and make it sound as close to a sitar as possible.

im in love with this thing.

I’m glad I’ve discovered your channel

Sounds wonderful. I like how it has its own sound that is nice

I need them to make an acoustic one!

That has a really interesting sound to it, and kudos to whomever actually came up with the idea for it. It's pretty damn clever to set that thing up just so, allowing someone to emulate that Indian flair to the music. Too cool, man! Thanks for sharing!

You’re Rock is stone heavy but spiritually smooth like butter my friend

i think it sounds awesome, samuraisitarist.

love the phaser effects kinda sound of it

Gary Lee Conner uses one of these in Halo of Ashes by Screaming Trees. Can see him play it live in a love version of it. One of my absolute favorite songs ever.

Check out Multi Love by Unkown Mortal Orchestra. There you can hear that guitar.

That riff you played straight after you said “So: Let’s take it for a spin” was amazing. What was ut

Living on the edge!!!

Ok so I researched the construction of traditional sitars and found out that they have those tiny strings as well. These are sympathetic strings that you don't play but resonate in harmony with the ones you do play. I like how the designer of this guitar incorporated what gives a sitar its distinct sound.

I'm amazed how people manage to turn a bug - buzzing sound you try to avoid on a guitar - into a cool feature.

Listen to Close To The Edge by Yes for the perfect use of this

Ngl this sounds beautiful

My inner soulfly fanatic has woken up. Keep on going cavalera!

Danelectro always makes interesting looking instruments

this has always been a favorite guitar of mine.

Sounds like a guitar that Aerosmith uses in living on the edge

Steve Vai instantly comes to my mind when I think of this Sitar guitar

“Every time you go…you take a piece of me with you…”

A classic guitar! Monterey, Siberian Khatru, Come and Get Your Love, Last Train Home, I Have A Dream

i’m a big Tool fan and i got excited because the first not of the intro sounded like “forty six & 2”

Sounds quite nice

This is so cool!

Had one in the 80s Copped the Pups and gave the rest away Put them in an exceptional Carlo Robelli Strat I miss that one

Yes, in the song I Know What I Like by Genesis you can hear a sitar but if you watch the live videos it's one of those.

One of my favorite songs that uses one of these instruments is on Steely Dan's first album. the song is Do it again and can be heard during the solo. its subtle. but its there

When he plucked that single string it sounded like the Valve intro sound

Sound freaking good

Really interesting...obviously I've been living under a rock because I've never seen it heard of this "WOW" instrument!

It makes me wonder, if some company ever made an acoustic version? With today's experimental ideas, I think that would be a possibility, even though, it's niche. It would be great to (re)create such awesome instruments!

Jimi Hendrix did a version of Cherokee Mist with it. I’d kill for this guitar

The song “last train home” by the Paul mettney group is ringing in my head as I watch

The body isn't plastic. It's basically hollow the same as other Danelectro guitars, wood, masonite (hardboard), vinyl. The sympathetic strings can be tuned carefully to a scale or chord for sitar drone effects. Pat Matheney has also used one to great effect.

The sitar strings are constantly played it is called the Da and the Re means the upwards and downwards motion.

I could listen to the guitar for hours

I've seen one of these in red. It was certainly interesting.

it was used on Close to the Edge by Yes and on Selling England By The Pound by Genesis

Awesome sound.

I loved this song

"If you've heard a Sitar sound in a rock song, there's a decent chance it's one of these" my dear friends, may I introduce you to Igorrr? I know they're a bit out there, but you can't not recognise the efforts and talents that Gautier puts into his project, and how good he is at finding musicians that fit the bill perfectly, namely his actual Sitar player Antony Miranda. Also, gotta say it because this is the internet, this is a praise for Igorrr, not a diss to anyone using the sitaritar. Just like many other things, it's one of the tools that are available, you'd be foolish to not consider it among your options if you're looking for a sitar sound.

That sitar was used to record Halo Of Ashes by Screaming Trees. BTW great song prros and great band

Awesome man

Very cool sounding

It's used by Yes in "close to the edge", watch the live version

🎵So many tears I've cried So much pain inside But, baby, it ain't over 'til it's over🎵

SammyG: this is a guitar that's also a sitar Me: damn that's wack I wonder who would make something weird like th- SammyG: made by Danelectro Me: ah, makes sense

I love the sound

I like the sound of this guisitar thing.

When i heard the sound, godd immediately flashbacks to ,,Wherever i may roam"

Pat methenys last train home comes to mind with this instrument, beautiful song for such an unusual instrument, I love it

It sounds like some kinda Alien Psychedelic Rock song, I dig it

Excellent sound 😳‼️🤷🏽‍♂️👍🏽

Bro this guy is John wicks laid back chill brother

when i heard the low E i thought i was going to be jumpscared by Walter White

you could play wherever I may roam on that so well

I have one at school, it's pretty fun to play

The main ingredient's "Something Bout Love" features it I believe

This was used by Scorpions on Under The Same Sun.. we can actually see it on the Acoustica live video.. also on Secret Place by Megadeth & Wherever I May Roam by Metallica..

I need one in my life.

The string buzz at the bridge damps the fundamental, allowing you to hear the harmonic partials.

that string he plucked while talking about the plastic part im 100% sure thats how the valve intro was made

'Hey, dont come around here no more'

I loved it ...I like it when musicians carefully use sitar in any other genre other than indian' classical music.

the sound just screams “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)”

awesome video 😎

Well it’s a few hours of fun for sure.

We want to hear the Do It Again solo! Do it!!

Bruh that is so cool

We need that last playing part as a full song!

Don't Come Around Here No More -Tom Petty... pretty sure Mike Campbell played one on that song.
