This geetham in Raga Malahari has a representative sound of Carnatic music and is the first Geetham (small composition) taught traditionally.
you want to learn to play Carnatic in general, on the guitar, this is a very good starting point
Varaveena geetham includes faster moves and slightly more involved slides. This composition is based on the raga Mohanam(Major pentatonic).
It is recommended to finish lambodara geetham once before you start with varaveena for better understanding.
An exceptionally beautiful composition by the extraordinary Sri Swathi Thirunal. The Emphasis is also on the rhythm side of playing.
Mahaganapathim is a famous kriti on raga Nattai.
