GeoShred Masterclass - Learn to play music on your iPad
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,

This masterclass would serve as an introduction to playing music on the iPad using the app GeoShred. 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:
- App setup and overview
- Setting up your control surface and playing surface
- Scales and exercises
- Sliding techniques (Gamakas)
- Basic Ear Training and Note Translation
- Customizing Tone
This masterclass is for people who have downloaded the GeoShred Pro app and would like more of an insight into the techniques that I use. Prior knowledge of basic Western/Indian Classical music theory would be very helpful for your understanding. Do send in your questions in advance so that I can answer them during the class.
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.

Though the fees is shown as 798.94, I was charged with 1134.75. Couldn't understand why.

I also second the question on session recording, Mahesh. Want to seriously practice and this would be a very helpful reference
