Hi Vinci,It's nice that you already know the guitar. You may go with learning any music, whether it's western or Indian or Carnatic. However, managing singing Carnatic music while playing the guitar could be difficult because the genres of music have a lot of variation in their style. However, both western and Indian music will go well. Indian music can help you do fusion and also sing Bollywood songs very comfortably as it creates the base. You may go for western music at a later stage depending on your passion for singing pure western songs. read less

Hi Vince, according to my opinion, we could analyse the base (whether western, indian etc) soon after we are thorough with all basic fundamentals of singing and effective breathing techniques.

You gotta be super committed and it is a lengthy process. If you wanna learn vocals just to perform movie songs/ light songs with your guitar, then light music...

Hi, I want to learn to play the violin, and I am not sure which violin to go for as a beginner. I don't have any local shop nearby, so I probably would have to order online. Can someone help with which violin I should buy?
You should always go to the store and check out yourself by playing on different acoustic instruments. Even if they look the same, the sound won't! Play by yourself and pick the one you like.
