Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya is arguably the greatest slide guitarist in the world. He is an undisputed master of both Hindustani classical music and modern world fusion. A ‘virtuoso’s virtuoso,’ he has revolutionized a number of techniques on the instrument. He also designed and patented four types of guitar for performing Indain raga music which he named Chaturangui, Ghandharvi, Anandi, and Pushpa Veena. These guitars are played lap style, with a small steel bar and finger picks. Free with museum admission.
