    Thanks! I was just playing around with it, really, and it kind of took on a life of it's own. It probably took four or five hours total broken up over a few days, mainly because I had to backtrack a lot as my technique improved. The best part is that if you are in VR you can walk into the middle and work with stuff in the interior. There is a whole drawing inside the heart as well.

    My wife's family is from Hyderabad but we live in the US. I've been all over India...it is such a fascinating place.

    I'll second piano. You don't need to be a master at piano before you pick up guitar, but the piano is an excellent way to visualize the notes and understand how they fit together to form a chord....

    Regarding the guitar, start really basic with major and minor scales. Check out some youtube videos to see how they work. Once you have that down learn a blues scale, which opens up a lot of fun music.

    I'm not sure if this would be helpful or not, but I started to block out at least 30 minutes a day (ideally an hour) to doing something creative. I'm super task-oriented and so I added it to my daily list of things to do. It's worked out well and not only has my guitar work improved but I've recently invested in a DAW and some recording software. Learning the software isn't technically creative but I am counting it as creative time for the moment until I have some sense of what I am doing.

    Rock climbing. I could theoretically learn the ropes (har har) but family/life obligations are the priority at the moment.
