Jason, I love this video! I am getting a taste for Indian food right now and I can’t figure out why. To make a 4 string electric sound like a sitar is amazing. I’ve been a fan of his for years. Thanks, Charnett

Cool! Glad that you enjoyed it. Charnett’s publicity people got in touch with me about him, and I think he’s really amazing. I’ve got a few more posts coming out about him in the next few weeks.
