    Gotta respect the man who showed George Harrison and Brain Jones how to tune a sitar.

    Sitar legend Ravi Shankar, who was described by Beatles guitarist George Harrison as "the godfather of world music", has died at the age of 92.
    On confirming the musician's death, the office of the Indian prime minister said he was a "national treasure".
    Shankar helped millions of classical, jazz and rock lovers in the West discover the centuries-old traditions of Indian music over an eight-decade career.

    RIP Ravi Shankar, 92 is great age to live to.

    He was a beautiful human being and a legendary sitar player.

    Peace on your journey Ravi.
