Volume 10 - Featured Giutarist: Elvis Mark Gabriel
"Warmth over flash. Instinct over noise."
Elvis Gabriel’s story is not one of sudden arrival, but of gradual becoming.
His journey reflects a quieter path through music, one shaped by listening, patience, and an instinctive relationship with the instrument. From early curiosity to finding his voice within collaborative spaces, Elvis represents a generation of guitarists who value intention over spectacle.
His playing does not demand attention. It earns it.
Moving between genres, environments, and expectations, Elvis learned that music is less about proving oneself and more about showing up consistently, honestly, and with humility. Each phase of his journey added texture, not urgency.
These are not stories of speed or excess. They are stories of restraint, emotional awareness, and perseverance.
Together, his notes form a conversation rather than a statement, reminding us that sometimes the most lasting impact comes not from being the loudest voice in the room, but from being the most present one.

Our Story
From emerging enthusiasts to seasoned stage legends, every guitarist has a story — and we’re here to tell it.
The Indian Guitar Archives is a dedicated online platform that amplifies the voices of Indian guitarists.. We capture the inspiration, determination, and artistry that define the Indian guitar landscape by documenting the journeys behind the fretboard.
Explore original interviews, video performances, gear reviews, and curated features that highlight artists from across the country.
Read inspiring stories, discover fresh sounds, and get ready to join the TIGA Circle (soon to be launched), a vibrant space designed to help guitarists connect, collaborate, and thrive together.
TIGA was born from the union of science and sound.
I’m a neuroscientist and a lifelong guitarist — and I’ve always believed that every guitar player holds a story worth telling. Whether it begins in a bedroom, a village gig, or a crowded stage, each journey is unique, honest, and incredibly human.
This platform was created to celebrate that — to bring together diverse tones, styles, and lives into one evolving archive. Your support makes this possible. Your stories make it unforgettable.
Together, we’re stringing a billion dreams.
The Indian Guitar Archives (TIGA) is India’s first archive of guitarists — an online platform and digital magazine that documents the voices, stories, and sounds of guitar players across the country. From seasoned professionals to self-taught beginners, TIGA is dedicated to sharing the heartfelt journeys behind the strings — their inspirations, struggles, influences, and triumphs.
This is more than just a magazine. It’s a movement to spotlight and support guitarists from every corner of India — to preserve their artistry, amplify their voices, and build a community rooted in passion and performance. If you’re a guitarist and would like to be featured, drop us an email — we’d love to hear your story and strum it into the world.
