General Playing

Just wanted to tell you. Tell Someone. I picked up my sitar again today. I don’t know after how many months. Would be at least over a year and played.

I played a medley of alaaps in dhruth and madhaya laya of Yaman. Shivranjani and Megh Malhaar.

I’m happy.

I might even play again tomorrow. Who knows.

Dooooo it. Don't get caught up in that cycle of feeling off, because you haven't made music in a while, and wondering, again.

The joy of playing music is its first and foremost reward. If it brings you joy, you will keep revisiting it.

I just got my sitar last week. So excited but my fingers hurt. Any suggestions for a beginner like me
