Sitar music is a genre of Indian classical music that is based on the traditional instrument of the same name. It is characterized by its use of melodic improvisation, complex rhythms, and a wide range of scales and ragas. The sitar is a stringed instrument that is plucked with a plectrum and has a long neck with 20 metal frets. It is usually accompanied by a tabla, a pair of hand drums, and sometimes other instruments such as the harmonium. Sitar music is often used in film soundtracks, and is popular in both India and the West.
