He was 92. In 1965, Harrison began studying the sitar with Shankar and the two quickly became friends.

The Rolling Stones, the Animals and the Byrds were among the many other rock bands that incorporated the sitar into their sound as a result of Shankar&rsquo;s introduction of the Indian instrument to Western musicians.</span>

  11. TV review: 'George Harrison: Living in the Material World'

    "George Harrison: Living in the Material World," which premieres Wednesday and Thursday on HBO, is a long, lovely meditation on the Beatle sometimes called the Quiet One and the quiet one sometimes called a Beatle. Directed by Martin Scorsese at the invitation of widow Olivia Harrison, it is not especially informative in the way documentaries usually strive to be, a cataloging of causes and effects and significant facts and figures; nor has it been made as a brief for George's unsung genius. In fact, it leaves a lot out and doesn't always explain what it puts in. But it is not really so much a film about a career as it is about a life and not so much about a life of events as of spiritual progress &#8212; a portrait of character more than of "a character."
