THE RESULT

Skills you’ll work towards.

Move from clean chord changes and steady strumming to fingerpicking, richer rhythm, and a complete personal repertoire.

01

Keep a song moving

Change between chords while keeping a steady pulse, so pauses between shapes no longer interrupt the music.

02

Choose your accompaniment

Use a strumming or fingerpicked pattern that fits the song, rather than repeating one pattern for everything.

03

Play and listen back

Prepare a song you enjoy and learn to notice which chord changes, rhythm or tone need more practice.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST LESSON

A few useful answers.

Can a complete beginner join?

Yes. Beginners start with holding, tuning, rhythm, and approachable chord shapes before moving into full songs.

Do I need to bring a guitar?

Admissions will confirm whether an acoustic guitar is available for the trial and advise on a suitable instrument before you buy.

What are the fees and class timings?

Regular classes are one hour, twice a week, in groups of 4–5. A one-time ₹1,000 registration/admission fee applies; course fees and batch timings are confirmed separately before advance payment. Cash and UPI are accepted. View admission and payment details.

Should I start on acoustic or electric guitar?

Start with the sound and music that interest you. Acoustic guitar suits unplugged chords and fingerpicking; electric guitar brings amplification, riffs and tone controls. You do not have to learn acoustic first. Discuss comfort, equipment and your favourite songs at the trial.

What should I practise between acoustic guitar lessons?

Work on the chord changes and rhythm your teacher has assigned. Try each change slowly, then place it inside a short section of a song. Ask for a small, clear practice goal before leaving the lesson.
