"Anything about guitar, music, musicians, bands, songs, theory you name it and you will get loaded with information from Francis Sir. Not just playing, there are some cool sessions like ear training and exercises which will turn you into a decent player in a short span of time, Specially for professionals who get less time to practice, gets training materials which covers all the guitar essentials in just an hour of practice. Classes and syllabus are designed based on the individuals requirements, whats else you need???Guitars of all kinds are available in the class electric, acoustic, base, and theory materials which I believe are rare. I would recommend Francis Sirs class to music lovers of all ages, just join and get ready of an adventurous musical journey. -Rejeesh "

"His profound knowledge and understanding of harmony offered his pupils an early sense of the syntax of music, but he never pushed us to ‘study’ it. Rather, by mentioning for example the beauty of a sixth chord or a deceiving cadence, he made us susceptible to details and harmonic color. The music in itself was always more important than the instrument involved – something that was most obvious in the fingering he provided for us. He also often referred to other instruments and instrumentalists being a writer, a philosopher and composer, he inspired his students in many aspects of music and life. , influenced his style very strongly and created a ‘Zen’-like atmosphere in the classroom.

There is nothing like beginners' guitar :). There are cheap guitars and expensive guitars. I recommend getting the most expensive one you can afford. The action, feel, and tone will motivate you to practice more.
If one can spend 20000, 35000, 50000 and all on a mobile phone or for a vacation, why not spend 15000 or 30000 on something you love.
Epiphone, Cort, YAMAHA, Takamine... all are good brands.
Also, it is not necessary to start learning on an acoustic guitar. It's just a myth that one should start learning on acoustic guitar. That's just our Indian way - Learn on acoustic and then buy an electric.
There are so many advantages if one can start on an electric. I started learning guitar on a decent imported Japanese made an electric guitar, thirty years ago.
I bought my first acoustic guitar only after playing professionally electric guitar for six years.
So, all the best. Buy one and start learning. All brands are good. No one can make a bad guitar and be in business for so long. It's all a personal preference end of the day.
