have been very helpful and supportive through my learning here, breaking everything down into pattern based and detailed videos on exactly how to do hammer on pull offs and slides and how to practice properly have been very beneficial.
Vertical growth – Fluent like sung
Revathy had been playing Indian music on guitar for sometime. How did she benefit? She says:Â
“I was very happy when I compared the video of the song that I played in my first week of the course to how I play the same song now. “
“Your efforts to make correction videos for each individual are highly commendable. And the community space where we discuss questions and clarify, really helps improve everyone’s knowledge.“Â
Earlier, I knew how to play 10 to 12 songs, but I didn’t have the feeling of actually playing them. I was just hitting the notes, like uttering the words of the songs.
All that I knew earlier was hitting the notes. But now, your guidance on improving the details has helped my skills grow vertically.

After joining corrections with Shyam, I understood how the notes are connected and flow. I was very happy when I compared the video of the song that I played in my first week of the course to how I play the same song now. I am not lagging or pausing in between; more importantly, I am able to slide, hammer on, and pull off the strings.
Your feedback and correction videos are really helping a lot. Your efforts to make correction videos for each individual are highly commendable. And the community space where we discuss each other’s questions and clarifications really helps improve everyone’s knowledge.
Harsha, student at ragacourses with interest of playing Indian music on guitar. How did he benefit? He says:Â
The curriculum and study materials are meticulously designed, focusing not just on the intricacies of Raga and Indian film musicals, but also emphasizing common pitfalls that learners might face in their guitar-playing journey.
The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the course. Not only does it provide students with a robust foundation, but it also equips them with tools and guidance to identify, avoid, and overcome challenges. This proactive approach to learning ensures that learners don’t form bad habits that could hinder their progress in the long run.
One of the standout features for me is the video correction facility. We often don’t realize our mistakes until someone points them out. Having the opportunity to submit recordings and receive personalized feedback is invaluable. Plus, the live doubt clarification sessions add another dimension to the learning process. Shyam does an exceptional job during these sessions. He has a knack for making complex concepts accessible and tailors his guidance to align with individual goals, truly empowering students to carve their own unique musical paths.
The added convenience of WhatsApp-based feedback ensures a continuous learning experience and keeps one engaged and motivated.
In summary, this program is a comprehensive and thoughtfully crafted guide for anyone keen to delve into the world of Raga and Indian film musicals on the guitar. Highly recommended!

My teacher – a gentle and beautiful way he teaches the instrument . With the backing of Ragacourses, I am realizing that the foundation, the speed and focus that I have now is wonderful. Signing to Ragacourses was one of the best decisions I have taken and I recommend wholeheartedly for music learners.
