The sitar and the guitar are both stringed instruments. You have to strum or pluck their strings to produce the sound from the instrument. The sitar has a very unique tone that is quite different from the sound of a guitar. It is primarily used in the East, particularly in India and in other countries in South Asia. The tone of the guitar is well-known all over the world. It was popularized in the West by modern pop stars and was adopted in almost all the countries in the world. read less

Guitar and sitar are very different. Basically Guitar is a western instrument and sitar is a classical instrument. On guitar, you can play rhythm and lead both. But on sitar you can play lead only. The only thing that relate them both is that both are string instrument.
