Short answers, pulled from the story.
"Love You To" is a song written and sung by George Harrison, released on the Beatles' 1966 album Revolver as the fourth track. It was the first Beatles song to fully reflect the influence of Indian classical music, featuring sitar, tabla and tambura.
Anil Bhagwat, a tabla player Harrison sourced through Patricia Angadi of the Asian Music Circle in north London, played tabla on "Love You To". His name appeared on the back cover of Revolver, one of the rare occasions an outside musician received an official credit on a Beatles album.
The basic track for "Love You To" was recorded on the 11th of April 1966 at EMI Studios in London, now known as Abbey Road Studios. A reduction mix was made on the 13th of April, and final mixing took place on the 21st of June 1966.
"Love You To" follows the structure of Hindustani classical music, comprising an opening alap in free tempo, a central gat in madhya laya (medium tempo), and a closing drut gat at accelerated tempo. The composition adheres to the pitches of Kafi thaat, the Indian equivalent of Dorian mode, and emulates the khyal vocal tradition.
Ethnomusicologist David Reck described "Love You To" as the first song in the Euro-American pop music canon scored predominantly for Asian instruments, and the first time an Asian music was brought into a Western pop context without parody or stereotype. Peter Lavezzoli called it "the first conscious attempt in pop to emulate a non-Western form of music in structure and instrumentation".
Harrison met Ravi Shankar in June 1966, the same month final mixing on "Love You To" was completed. Shankar agreed to become Harrison's sitar tutor after meeting him at a social event hosted by the Angadi family. Shankar gave Harrison his first formal lesson at Kinfauns, Harrison's home in Surrey, shortly after.
