Teaching Experience in detail in Guitar Classes
I started playing professionally at the age of 15. Since then I've played all styles of popular western music. I have recorded guitar on countless number of South Indian film songs with most of the big music directors. I have trained many students who have completed my practical models (Basic, Intermediate and Advanced guitar). For beginners I start with all the basics of music, easy chords, picking and strumming and simple songs. The beginners module starts after the first 4 classes which cover all the basic information. I do not teach the western classical approach but the pop method which goes straight into songs. You can start learning guitar even at late in life as long as you have the interest to learn guitar. The age groups of my students vary from 12 years to 72 some who are eager to learn music as a passion or hobby.

"Really experienced and kind. He started off by correcting my wrong techniques and habits. Always gives me more than what I can chew, says do more than what's required so that what's required is easier when you come back. Most importantly he patiently explains things again and again. Don't think twice just go for him. "

Top THREE ways to improve your vocabulary:
1. Read any topic that you are interested in, mark the words you don't understand and check their usage in sentences immediately or when free.
2. Spend time with the dictionary and see how new words are used in sentences.
3. Try to use them in your sentences a few at a time.

Just take the guitar to a shop to get the bridge size right. Should cost a few hundreds only. Remove the old bridge, it comes off when you remove the strings. Place the new bridge in place and re-string your guitar. If the the string are too high you many need to reduce the height of the bridge by sand papering it gently. Re-string and check the string height, otherwise repeat the process.

1.Buy an acoustic guitar, without owning one it would be difficult to improve the learning process.
2. Watch some basic lessons for beginners and start trying them out on the guitar.
3. Try to get the help of a friend who already knows some guitar.
4. Find a guitar teacher if you like playing the guitar and want to improve very quickly.

Best Resources.. Guitar chord book, Instructional DVDs' for playing acoustic guitar from the start, basic youtube lessons for acoustic guitar beginners. Best Approach to learn acoustic guitar 1. Find a guitar instructor.. OR 2. Learn some music theory basics before you try reading books with chords and scales and see if you are able to do do it without help.
