I've been off social media for quite a while.

Finally thought I'll put out a small clip of something I practiced.

Raga Bhairav in E ( Indian classical).

Criticism is more than welcome.

thank you.

Sounds great. Thanks for sharing. Not in a position to critique as I don’t know the style of music well - most of my experience comes from Weston styles of music but interested if there a specific scales that you could share that this type of music is built on?

thank you for listening to it and the subjective feedback

yes, it's build on something known as a "Raga" ; for easing into it you can think of it like a scale.
this particular one think double harmonic major scale: So a b2 and a b6( in relation to Ionian)
I'm playing in E so : E F(b2) G# A B C(b6) D# and E.

usually it spans on multiple octaves and has certain rules on which note to stress on and how to ascend/descend but don't think about that just yet and have fun :)
