The original sitar is considered as the Gift of the gods in India.. and seeing its electric version is really flattering...
@R&N S then you might enjoy the indian Shastri Sangeet..
Lemmo that was some playing. In the late 70’s maybe even 70’s I saw Ravi Shankar he played in the Town hall in my small town because one of the teachers in the school was related to him , his uncle. I was surprised Ravi said ‘There will be no smoking during the performance’ while his incense permeates the hall
localguy8 Incense is a heck of a lot nicer smelling than cheap tobacco.
@@joermnycor cheap marijuana
Depeche Mode on a sitar. You never cease to amaze me Lemmo. AWESOME!!!
Last Train Home is what made me look up more information about this guitar, what a piece
RIP Brian Jones, GEORGE Harrison, Ravi Shankar the three are in heaven jamming with sitars..
Don’t forget Lolly Vegas of Redbone!!! 😄
Not to mention the many 60s and early 70s R'n'B and Soul artists who made heavy use of this instrument!
Beautiful Personal Jesus cover man. Lovely
You should try to learn Last Train Home. Its not only beautiful, but the style of it is right up your alley

Denny Dias sitar solo on "do it again"
Absolute genius!
This suits Lemmo SOO perfectly! I've seen other demos of these, but i think this is a match made in heaven.
One of the BEST "Weird Ass Wednesdays" EVER!!
60s classic "Band of Gold" is just one of many hits that used this instrument.
The song was Wherever I May Roam, Lemmo.. LOL
8:40 Idk why but this section I really like cause it sounded a lot like pizzicato on a violin. Sounded really cool. This whole video was lovely though. So damn unique sounding, that thing
That last song is fantastic! The Coral Sitar made it's name for us 60's folk primarily on "Hooked On A Feelin'" by B.J. Thomas and "Cry Like A Baby" by The Box Tops. Great review!
What a cool instrument, Vinnie Bell was a genius, he designed a left handed one for Jimi Hendrix , RIP Jimi and Vinnie...
Vinnie Bell also designed the first electric 12-string on the market, the Danelectro Bellzouki, in the early ‘60s, beating Rickenbacker by several years. Danelectro didn’t promote it as a 12-string, although it was-I remember the catalog description in 1962 read, “evokes the mystery of remote times and places.” Huh? By the time the Rickenbacker 360-12 came out in 1964, most of us had figured out that it was an electric 12-string. The rhythm guitarist of the Count V (Psychotic Reaction) used one.
Love the electric Sitar! Plus the original music, well done!
Great.
as a kid in the '60s "Hooked On A Feeling", BJ Thomas, Vinnie Bell. Great track.
And Joe South - Games People Play. Have LOVED both of those songs since i was a kid in the 1960's
This was guitar of the day over more than 3 years ago.
What a cool guitar! Playing is marvelous as always!
Thnx Michael for showcasing this instrument. Super. Sitar played my the Master Guru. Just the best
This instrument was expensive and hard to find in the 1960s; being a take it or leave it proposition. In a mid-life crisis in the 1990s, I bought the Jerry Jones version of this instrument. The Jerry Jones versions are available (far newer), not cheap, but extremely well made in Jerry Jones' Tennessee factory now sadly closed since about 2011. These are uber-cool and worth owning.
I just read about this instrument in "Play it Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll" and had to see and hear it demonstrated. You hit all the info the book listed, right down to Ravi Shankar...you really know your stuff!! I'm impressed 🤘
So awesome! Great original song 🎵♥️
This is a kind of guitar I have always, always wanted.
I have three actual Indian sitars, but I would love to have one of these also. Different strokes!
That was amazing Lemmo ! 😎👍 🎸🎶 Thanks Jen !
Man that sounded good! Keep up the killer stuff, Lemmo.
The last original song was so cool
Check out stylistics payback is a dog. Same sitar tone and very simular melody all together. I would be very suprized if lemmo had never heard it
That is way freaking cool. Super dig the original piece. Well done
One of theser days, I'm gonna have one!!
Thanks for bring back the Sitar
Lemmo is my spiritual animal.
Guys a bloomin genius.👏👏👏👏👏
Fantastic!!
WOW !🤩
Looper with a sitar, nice Lemmo 😀
Paint It Black!
Cool Sitar, Cool Sound.
Just bought one bro , would have not known about them without this demo thanks !!!!!!!
That was great
Peggy and Jojo Benson's single Soulshake and album uses this. Real raw 60s soul with sitar and Nashville backing musicians. The electric sitar was their schtick
The talented, fearless, and inspiring Wayne Krantz is the player I would like to see push this electric sitar outside the box at a live session.
This is so dope!
Denny Dias' Electric Sitar solo on Steely Dan's Do It Again! One of my favorite solos.
Rick Beato’s video on Steely Dan brought me here
Cool! You reminded me of that
Oh please give that gorgeous song at the end a proper release! It such good jam material, too
Check out stylistics - payback is a dog. Very simular
That is a beautiful instrument.
Cool guitar. Jen is still saying Byeeeeeeee 😂♥️
Listened to the american recordings by Johnny Cash today and his version of Personal Jesus. Good job Lemmo 👍
such a cool sound
The late big jim sullivan played one in an episode of space 1999. The troubled spirit.. Lovely sound🎼🎼
Groovy, Lemmo! I’m a Danelectro fan. Saw one of these in a shop once. Went back and it was gone. Like hot cakes. Keep on truckin’!
Michael you really nailed it
Reminds me of Rory Gallagher, he played one on "Philby"
Same
Bless Vinnie Bell! Love to own one of these!
I remember back in the late 60s you could buy a used one for $75.00 wish I bought them all!
That original was fantastic!
Such an interesting guitar! Nothing like an electric that does something different! However! Gotta do a Maton!
R&B music also. The Point of No Return, Bobby Womack. Hooked on a feeling.
Great playing my dude
Cool bro!
Did Lemmo's just play Personal Jesus on a sitar????? I love this dude!!!!
Imange using an ebow or gizmotron with this thing.... magical!!!
Mark did one of those a few years ago. It was a really cool sound guitar/sitar . Bad ass
Yes, I remember it. A pity they didn't sample that performance at the end.
@@promerops I'm sure it was because Lemmo was just trying to Play Authentic.
very cool , sitar music that doesn't just sound like indian music , Lemmo can play any guitar like instrument and kill it. Very vibey finish on tht thing , coral reef I suppose , and a weird ass shape , looks great , sounds very cool , luv it. thanks guys
That the coolest t-shirt starring at them magic fingers trying to see the majic
Lemmo FTW!
Lovely playing... really cool sound. Bet that ain't around for long...
That version of personal Jesus was awesome. I want a sitar now.
I remember Mark Agnesi did a video about this guitar a few years ago. This is my favorite guitar from Norman's Rare Guitars.
I love his shirt lol
And the amazing part is that it's low E-string notes really sounds like a bass guitar.
The original "Hooked on a Feeling" has a nice sitar opening riff.
Denny Dias plays it on Steely Dan guitar solo "Do it again", Bob K on youtube plays also the same solo on the same guitar
Oh man I so wanted you to strum the 13 strings even though your not suppose too I wanted to hear it....keep up the great videos & content.
That's cool man. You forgot to mention probably the most famous electric sitar song, Do it Again by Steely Dan.
Be careful with that Carlos might have a flashback.
ALL CAPS FOR CARLOS
❤
💜
Every Time You Go Away
That can sure draw a crowd when busking!!...
I didn't see enough people mentioning Steve Howe's use of this guitar on Close to the Edge!!!!!!
I believe one was also used on the amazing hit song “Cry Like a Baby” by the Box Tops.
Now that’s a guitar for Wednesday.
So, you can bend strings on a sitar. (Extra points for the Godzilla T)
You forgot to mention Big Jim Sullivan (session whiz bud of Jimmy Page and Tom Jones) or "Lord Sitar" as he was known - check him out on Space 1999 kiddies!
Oh my God
Denny Dias' historic solo on Steely Dan's classic hit, 'Do It Again'.
Awesome personal Jesus
That sounds so good they should start making them again. Hey Scott how about a pedal?
Danelectro makes reissues!!!
Don't forget Denny Dias' solo on Steely Dan's 'Do It Again'.
This is my first comment ever. That's a very interesting instrument to test your creativity! Someday I'll have one of my own ;w;
What was that first song ?
Steve Miller picked up one of those beauties for less than $200 back in the day. He used it to record Wild Mountain Honey.
Izzy Stradlin from Guns N Roses played a coral sitar in the intro to the song Pretty Tied Up
as a jojo fan hearing last train home made me want this guitar
is there any guitar pedal to simulate this sound with a regular guitar?
such nice sound, very harmonic
nice playing. incredible how cool of an instrument and 1960ties.
ravish sitar pedal by Electo-Harmonix
☞￣ᴥ￣☞C'mon Big Mike ! " GREEN TAMBOURINE " by the LEMMO PIPER'S ( 1968 ) .... perfect little sitar song ✌🏼
To hear a Coral Electric Sitar in the hands of a noted pro look up:
Big Jim Sullivan: The Troubled Spirit
Is there an electric sitar like this you can buy that has a Floyd rose ? I’d love to see it hehe
Lemmo you said late50s early 60s, I’m sure the just made this sitar for 2 years 1967-68
