I mess around with some stuff like that on lap steel, I transposed a tanpura drone to a few different keys to play along with in a hindustani vibe. A lot of the scales or "ragas" are different ascending and descending, and then you throw in all the micro-tonal stuff and it takes a little seat time to develop an ear for it.
When I was younger my friend and I always talked about refretting some instruments with 24 frets per octave and starting a band, never got around to it.

Interesting, I'd love to hear it. That's always been the problem trying reproduce anything on guitar, those crazy scales.
I do stuff pretty much like this guy, Phrygian and Major with flourishes, and don't just stick to one pattern, lots of slides and quarter note bends thrown in.
Most of it I picked up from hearing Steve Kimock, he lived across from the Indian music school down in Marin County and picked it up through osmosis into some of his playing.
The Clean amp is my JTM 45/100 clone. The looper is a TC Ditto. I recorded the Boss Super Octave and a simple C chord into the ditto and let it play. There is a Belle Epoch and Neunaber Seraphim after the Ditto and in front of JTM 45/100 clone.
The overdrive tone is coming from my Octal based Express build with a PPIMV. I used a RMC Picture wah and a homemade Octavia later in the clip. I mic'd the cabs and added an El Capistan delay via a little Behringer Mixer into a couple of small FR Speakers
