Exercises — Sitar
Daily drills generated from the CGCGC neck — hear each one, then play it even.
Short, repeatable drills with tab and playback, generated from the Sitar's own CGCGC geometry: an evenness drill for the picking hand, string-crossing accuracy, and a chromatic run for the fretting hand.
None of this is raga material — it is the mechanical floor a raga is played on top of. Play to the click, give every note the same weight, and let meend and ornament wait until the hand is even without them.
