My musical practice
I began playing guitar before Class 1. My early training with Mr. Jeevan Ingti introduced me to nylon-string classical guitar and reading sheet music, while acoustic guitar practice at Royal Global School gave me another way to explore the instrument.
The rock and metal my father played sparked my interest in electric guitar. In Class 7, I began teaching myself through YouTube tutorials, studying technique and scales. At The Doon School, I continued working with Mr. Arun Kumar and the music faculty, learned bass, and became involved in orchestra and band performances.
Listening & influences Bullet for My Valentine, Periphery, Polyphia, and Avenged Sevenfold. I’m also passionate about live music and have attended concerts by artists including Metallica, Megadeth, and Linkin Park.
- Current focus
- Electric guitar, with a particular interest in the technical rhythms, riffs, and breakdowns of metalcore.
- On the practice stand
- Selective picking and economy picking.
- The next chapter
- In college, I hope to join a metal band, learn metal vocals, and build a stronger understanding of alternative tunings and the music theory behind them.
