I knew a sitarist at Penn State who disliked Shankar's technique.
"Too many notes," as he would say.

I'm not certain whose music he did prefer, but Ali Akbar Khan is
not exactly a poor choice.  Those of us who have lived in the Bay Area
and like Indian music must surely have fallen under the spell of his
sarod playing.  A marvelous performer!  His concerts are not to be missed.
The only recordings of his that I know of are on Indian EMI.
They are also usually sold at his concerts.
