PSA: The Carved Culture Course is not worth $50

Just bought this course and I seriously regret it. The video course is 13 minutes and 38 seconds of explanation no deeper than what I've already seen a dozen times from all of the Youtube tutorials, and the PDF is just that same information along with a bunch of public domain songs that are also available everywhere. I was hoping for something far more comprehensive and structured than "Hold it like this, here's how to use a tuning hammer, now lets play twinkle twinkle."

Does anyone know any actually good resources that go beyond the "My first 5 minutes with Kalimba"? I'm looking for something to give me guidance as I attempt to learn proper striking technique, the music theory, and a logical path of progression.

Edit:
Spoke to the one and only u/TheLocalDrummer who informed me that due to the method of access and the way in which I maintain it, the method I have would not produce ideal results. I'll be checking messages if anyone else is proposing something interesting, but it sounds like what I have may not be the best setup for this. I'll likely delete this in a few hours as to not appear as though I'm trying to harvest karma (feel free to downvote)

No, I won't tell you how. No this is not for anyone who is not already a proven contributor to the fine-tuning space.

If you're doing fine-tunes and are actually serious with a track record of work in the fine-tuning field (I expect I'm going to get a lot of bullshit responses from randoms asking for access), message me with proof of your contributions to the space. I'm not asking for your ID, just proof that you own your HF account.

I will not be giving you access, you will be either giving me instructions or code and I will run that to generate outputs that I will then upload to Huggingface.

My only request is whatever we're doing benefits the community, so it should be open source and used to improve open models. Not interested in generating illegal content or anything else that would trigger moderation actions.
