“A big part of it is bending notes. Indian music has something called the meend, which is how you approach a note – whether you approach it from above or below, or whether you go to another note first. And if you listen to, say, B B King, he has an amazing meend. As soon as he plays one note, you go, “Ah, there’s B B King.” So, how you approach and phrase the notes is critical in both traditions” - Harry Manx
