I walked in to buy a guitar and left with THIS 

Check out The GREATEST Sitar Riffs in Rock History video I made with this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PnJTwKvXXdU.html

Of course, you find a sitar-esque instrument, and it's obligatory to play "wherever I may roam". Respect!

As an employee at a guitar store, I appreciate that you called and asked if you could record before arriving at the store

The shock I experienced when you pulled the sitar onto your lap and started playing "Wherever I May Roam"

I always did prefer the more vintage and local guitar stores because it was just a mystery waiting to be unraveled. Something about the uniqueness is quite magical.

I get to teach middle school guitar classes thanks to the Songbirds Foundation! Thanks so much for helping us keep music education thriving in Chattanooga!

It really does sound like an electric banjo. Appreciate the Rush lick!

Right away when I heard the sitar sound I told myself that he WILL PLAY THAT EPIC INTRO OF WHEREVER I MAY ROAM!!! Yeah!!!!

Thanks for your time. Instantly made a donation to songbirds young children need music. My high school by the time we came around had threw em in a messy dusty pile in the corner of the gym balcony and without my mother enrolling me in the summer program to clean the school to reduce the tuition cost I would of never seen how music programs in school were done away with. Music is very important, and instruments were always my own personal Mr. Miyagi. With that said an early introduction in a teaching environment is necessary. Peace.

So many 60's and 70's songs had sitar solos. One of my favorites is BJ Thomas "Hooked On A Feeling", and one of the most used in commercials is Pat Metheny's "Last Train Home". In concert he plays an old Silvertone electric sitar. That's one of the few guitars I've never owned, but now, you've inspired me to look for one. That one looks like it's not as much of a maintenance nightmare as the old ones.

As soon as I heard how it sounded I was hoping you’d play ‘Wherever I May Roam.’ Thank you! It sounds so good

Oh wow! That's really something special as a find and sound. Definitely looking forward to more videos with it, especially to share them with my dad!

That sitar has more quack than a strat, wow! It’s like a strat where every note gets choked out by fret buzz, like an intentional mistake

Well this is absolutely awesome man good for you Tyler and that's pretty cool that you donated some money also those kids will definitely appreciate it how cool love you man keep on rockin brother love everything you do

That’s just so….awesome, different and unique! Great video and awesome playing!

You hands down are one of the best musicians I have heard on here , your sitar performance at the end was played with such perfection and feeling I felt it in my soul, that was excellent

Thanks for working hard and putting out great content. I always look forwards to your vids! Much love

I was so happy when you played Wherever I May Roam, because thats the first song to come to my mind when I heard that tone. :)

Yeah this was a pretty cool video dude. I hoped that when you did the "Paint it Black" intro that you would've gone into the rushing sound of the chords but maybe next time. Also for Sitar learn "Angie" and its variant progressions, that would be really cool to listen to and show.

This thing is so freaking cool! I can’t wait for your next video with it, keep it up Tyler🔥

Put a smile on my face when you played wherever I my roam, that so was cool!

Love that Tyler has reached a place where he's going "I just really need a Carolina blue one".

Interesting choice. I don’t have a sitar, but I know how to make my guitar sound like one. I saw Joe Satriani do it in an instructional video back in the day using the heel of the palm on the strings. It’s difficult for me to do with any consistency, but it works.🤘🏻🎸

really sounds nice, i remember a lot of groups in the late 60's would have that sitar sound in some of their songs and i wasn't sure how they got it. brings ya back.

thanks for still putting out good stuff man

Electric sitar? Sounds cool, definitely something to have in the collection

You're my favorite RU-vidr you inspired me to get back into guitar.

That thing is crazy! I love it! Great find man. Definitely a unique sound.

Fantastic video! Leaving the camera after triple checking was just a cherry on top.

I was waiting for Denny Dias’ Electric Sitar solo from Steely Dan’s “Do it again”!That Sitar would be a nice addition to anyones arsenal.

That's awesome, Tyler! I would love to hear you play the Sitar solo from "Do It Again" by Steely Dan!

I am soooo jealous and impatiently waiting for you to create some crazy sounds with this sitar! Totally cool!!

AWESOME choice! Spiritual growth moment steeping off the beaten path - courageous as hell! Closing jam was righteous. 11/10

i once had a guitar that sounded alike. Had to adjust the neck😁 But very cool choice. The crazier the instrument, the more the fun. Creativity knows no boundaries and never should!

Rush, Rolling Stones, Metallica, Police! You were really busting out the classics and sounding great on that thing.

That is so freaking cool! Great sounds!

Inspiration comes in many forms. Kudos to you.

Thanks for showcasing a guitar sound that appeared in every 60's psychedelic tune! In hearing those songs back then I aways thought it was some instrument from India. Whereas, the guitar in this video gives the same vibe but looks just like a standard run of the mill electric guitar. Did you get the chance to see how the guitar was wired to ge that unique sound? Thanks for sharing!

Awesome man :) I think that maybe a bigger/fatter gauge strings would have a huge impact on the sound of this thing. It would probably sound even more awesome :)

Ey that’s so cool you uploaded it on my birthday thank you so much for that great gift 😁

So sick. Thanks for always making glorious content

I've been watching for a bit and there is no denying your talent. I only wish I had a tenth of it just to play basic guitar. In the mean time, I'll be informed and entertained by folks like you. Today, you took it over the top and I'm now a Subscriber. 🙂 And all this because of algorithms and an innocent attempt to paint something for an Eddy Van Halen fan. And, I succeeded. For now, I'll stick with my painting but will be watching you.

Love the sound. Need to make more videos👍 with this.

When you went through the store showing all the guitars, my eyes fell ON THAT ONE EXACTLY! I can't believe you went for that one too.

That really was a good pickup. Now play "Love You To", "Within You Without You" and "Norwegian Wood" by The Beatles! I want to hear it! lol.

WOW, brave choice. Can't pass up on something you may not consider again soon. Hard choice as the custom built tele sounded incredible.

Brilliant 🙌🏼!🔥 Great choice. Sounds awesome!

Amazing how you always know how to create new and interesting content, you are a very creative guy.

You're such a fucking legend, my god. Playing Wherever I May Roam on a sitar with absolute fucking style, you rock! Also, I noticed the new haircut, really suits you, see how long you can get it. You ever tried the Yamaha Revstar Rs320? My mom's ordered one, I'm really grateful that she did, along with the Fender Mustang LT50 (there were no LT25s on Mannys and there was a 1k spending limit).

That sitar is absolutely bitching. Such a dynamic instrument that is underused. I am surprised people don't use it in the bridge or interlude of a song.

An amazing sound and an excellent choice! Sitar is Win!!

Tyler can make anything sound good! You rock!

I really wanna hear some death metal on the new Alien Banjo

Couple of things. 1. Does it have decent higher fret access? 2. Can it cut through the mix?

that's really cool. very unique! I love thinline tele's too but glad you went with something totally different.

I totally love your platform,i'am a proud guitar junkie.......two thumbs up bro!!

I've been buying or building guitars and effects and donating them to the Jimi Hendrix Foundation. They do the same for underprivileged kids and donating to a music based charity is a great way to pay it forward.

liking the grown out hair 👍

My mom got me one of these bad boys for my 16th birthday, absolutely delightful little instruments.

You influenced me to get my first guitar a month ago! Love your content!

You can tell you just love playing that thing. Good times!

The guitar face says it all. Awesome video bro, keep it up!

I absolutely love your choice. Put more videos about it

I love that you went straight to wherever I may roam! Haha so good! You could’ve gone to don’t come around here no more and come and get your love and I would’ve been excited as well. Good stuff as always! ☸️🕉

Nice find, and it sounds great!

Me and my family were going nuts when unc beat duke and we were mourning the loss from Kansas. Also love the guitar you bought!

This made me smile a lot :)

That is an awesome instrument! I love the bit of Rush's Tom Sawyer...what would sound really interesting would be the opening riff to Spirit of Radio! Great video!

love your vids!!!!! They are so FUN!!!!!!

Cool fusion of sound with the sitar -- very enjoyable

Super cool! I thought I was gonna hear some bridge of sighs at the end🤩

Actually a SICK find and purchase. Now I want to play one!

That new toy looks just amazing 😍

4:45 Tyler playing wherever I may roam is the most awesome thing on a “sitar”

Hairstyle looks good on you man

As soon as he picked it up, I INSTANTLY thought "Wherever I may roam" I knew he would play it! Yes!

Seeing your video after a long time. Your new hair style is looking cool.

Nice! If case you you don't know (as I didn't know until recently), the main guitar riff in Red Bone's "Come And Get Your Love" is played on a electric sitar. Maybe that will inspire a video!

Would not have been my first choice, but given you already have a couple dozen of my “first choices,” it makes perfect sense. Look forward to seeing/hearing more of your Sitarish playing.

Awesome! You made the right choice!!

I can definitely see the intrigue and enthusiasm as you play, a little bit of lightning in a bottle. Truth be told, this bodes more of a one-night stand than a life-long affair, but stranger things have happened!

I visited that store when I was in Nashville this past December! Neat place. 😀

What a great find!!! I would've purchased that as well.

Definitely a find! Congratulations

So freaking cool. Love that sound

Nice get! The sonic possibilities are gonna be awesome!

That is such an awesome instrument. I've no joke considered getting one at some point for myself for a long while just because they're so unique.. and suprisingly great accompaniments to rock and metal when done tastefully.

Love the jam at the end.

This video made me smile.

What a great find!

You’re playing in the same room I played in at Carters Vintage Guitars! There was a Gibson Dove that I played there that was the most beautiful sounding guitar I ever played.

This made me smile

It sounds AWESOME!!!!!

I didn't realize you were in my area recording this...👍👍

oh cool! I live in nashville and have been to that shop with my dad, cool to see a video of it.

I LOVE that place.

Read my mind with Wherever I May Roam

This was awesome! Couldn't help but smile when you decided on buying this, haha! Next up, see if you can find an electric phin (Thai stringed and fretted instrument)

I love the ones where you play...I still want you to do a tutorial on the solo when you purchased the Suhr Guitar please! 🙏 🙏 🙏

DUDE !!! THAT IS FREAKING AWESOME !!!
