No other Sitarist before or since has mastered the mathematical accuracy of laykari, but also creativity coupled with speed and clarity of tankari like Ustad Shahid Parvez. May he continue to light the candles of sincerity for music as he has always done. A great teacher too, whose innumerable pupils are now progressing on the road to becoming good sitarists. He has truly served the cause of music through his inimitable Sitar baaj.
