GeoShred Masterclass 2 - Playing Melodies on the iPad

By Mahesh Raghvan

Note: This was a live masterclass that took place on LivDemy. Later, we requested Mahesh to record a methodical, step-by-step course to teach to Play music on iPad. Hence the following course was created. We also keep this course updated, as there are new chapters and lessons are constantly being added.

Thanks,

LivDemy


Continuing from the GeoShred Masterclass 1, this masterclass focuses on playing melodies on the iOS app GeoShred pro. I have been using the app to play Indian Classical Music.


When working with a digital instrument, the possibilities are endless. There are plenty of ways to play your favourite songs. With good technique, exercises and practice your playing will sound a lot better.


In this masterclass, I would be going through the following:

  • Ear Training and Recognising notes
  • Fingering techniques for playing simple melodies
  • Getting started with playing Gamakas/Gamaks for Indian Music


This masterclass is for people who have downloaded the GeoShred Pro app and have either attended one of my earlier masterclasses or have had experience playing music on the app. Do send in your questions in advance so that I can answer them during the class. Prior knowledge of basic Western/Indian Classical music theory would be very helpful for your understanding


PS - Download this GeoShred preset before the masterclass (open link in Safari on the iPad) - http://www.moforte.com/mahesh-raghvan-shares-his-xitar-preset/


Note: iPad requirements (A note from the instructors, Madan Pisharody and Mahesh Raghvan).

Any currently available iPad will do if it's only for GeoShred.


- iPad 9th Gen (onwards)

- iPad 10th Gen

- iPad Air 4, 

- iPad Air 5,

- iPad Pro 11"

- iPad Pro 12"


Avoid iPad mini for its screen size being too small. If anybody has iPad mini, they can start learning with it. But eventually they can plan on purchasing a bigger one later for the ease.
