This is for you:

if you would like to play Indian raga or film songs on the guitar fluently and efficiently as if it is sung

if you like finding and playing chords for raga and films songs – the smart way of connecting chords to the fretboard and thinking in chords

if you want to start understanding the mechanism behind music to help you find independence in INdian raga and film song playing, chords and rhythm, fingerstyle or chord melody, singing while playing rhythm etc.

This is a good beginning…

Transform your playing from somehow finding notes and hitting them, to conscious, fluent and efficient
Instead of limiting yourself to generic guitar methods, find your independence and freedom in your lifelong music journey
Grow by understanding the right techniques and methods that will teach you HOW to instead of just copying mindlessly what you are told to do, mechanically – escape that rut.
Learn once to connect Indian raga and Film song notes to the Standard tuned guitar, and be on the journey to find notes on the guitar on your own, UNSTUCK and confident.
Transform your guitar practising and playing by understanding the 3 basic phases and 2 main pillars of the process, from note finding and distribution, through phrasing and fingering logic to feedback based fluent playing.
Learn rhythm and chords the smart way, leading to finding chords on your own, chord melody, finger picking and singing + rhythm.

Subscriber only material is released as I make it – could be videos that I give my students or other doubts and tutorials.

List of foundation videos

Here is a screenshot of the sample of videos to start the process.

Useful for beginners, since you will START on the right path without wasting time, energy, effort and money.

Been playing for some time? Intermediate guitarists can check if they are integrating all the best practices that can take their playing to the next level.

Afterall, to play in time and make music, is a matter of optimizing, being efficient. Being able to start play any song the way it is sung, needs you to know how to make use of the way the guitar is tuned, to use phrasing logic, fretboard distribution, fingering logic (we have 4 fingers, resources to be used as best as we can, racing against time 🙂 )

Tabs, Tutorial Videos etc… on one page

You will find Indian Raga and Film Song tutorials at my channel youtube.com/themusicianself. That way, the original creators get their share of copyright money, as mechanical license, directly from youtube – they are acknowledged, their share is given, the right way.

Within the subscriber area, I list the tutorials along with tabs so that you can use them without searching, all in one place. Time is of essence 🙂 Easy or not will determine your guitar practice success. (We do talk once in a while about habit formation and behavioural sciences.)

Here is an example screenshot:

First time? Find out if…

If you haven’t heard me play before, JUDGE for yourself if the way I play and teach suits your needs! 🙂 (You could be using nylon/steel strings, acoustic or electric guitar – my students use any of them. In this video I am using a Nylon string acoustic guitar – I find it to my liking – personal choice)

See you on the other side…
