Like so many developments in the guitar’s history— flamenco, Delta blues, and rock ’n’ roll—the genesis of Indian slide (A 20 STRING MONSTER !) is shrouded in mystery.Hindustani classical music has beautifully embraced the sound of the Hawaiian guitar, and the results are divine !
This playlist includes artists like Debashish Bhattacharya, vishwa mohan bhatt, brij kabra, ry cooder, john mclaughlin, manish pingle and salil bhatt, who have introduced a new sound- Indian classical ragas on the slide guitars. ( I have also included some Indian renditions of Hendrix & Cash !)
