George saw his first sitar in 1965 when it was used as a prop in Help. He bought a cheap one and learned enough to work out the notes for Norwegian Wood, released later that year. He met Ravi Shankar in London in 1966 and traveled to India for six weeks later that year to take lessons from Ravi. MP
