Our talent is blamed
- Uncurated lessons → scattered practice
- Hidden mistakes repeat → progress feels slow
- Confusion grows → motivation drops
- We start believing “maybe I’m not gifted”
- Dreams fade: playing for yourself, friends, family feels out of reach
What is ideal
Learn towards what matters to you.
If your primary interest is Indian music, there is no need to learn unfamiliar and uninteresting western songs and exercises. Colonialism and racial discrepancies are Important topics of musicology nowadays.
You know exactly what to learn, what to correct,
and how today’s practice connects to what you truly want to play.
You should be able
- Play Indian music raga and film song phrases with natural slides, gamakas, and continuity
- Build rhythm confidence and chord flow for your favorite Indian songs
- Train your ear slowly over time, so swaras and notes map to the fretboard
- Progress steadily towards playing what matters to you—without overwhelm
What this is
It works for you if you are a beginner or if you have been playing for some time.
