"He may be a good guitarist but I had very bitter experience. Joined his class on 6th Aug 2021, for 8 classes a month,did 6 classes & then he requested for the next payment. Did that too but for 4 classes a month (as he was very irregular) which he has not updated on urbanpro. He is very irregular with his classes and very irresponsible. Today its 28th Jan 2022 and he has done 11 classes in all. Always cancels the class at the last moment. Never attend calls. He always have a reason not to take the class either he’s outside, stuck in traffic or busy somewhere. In some classes he had other students too in spite of me signing up for solo classes. He took a security deposit & promised to take a month’s free classes when i wish to leave. Inspite of informing him a month back he has not taken any classes. Not even completed the req no. of classes. I’ve requested him to return the security deposit but he says that he will complete the classes, which is not done till date. It's waste of time & money. He promises to give pieces to practice but that never comes. And if I could master tunes from pieces why would i have hired a teacher? Google & Youtube gives adequate material and for free. Utterly a very bitter experience. He is very unprofessional as a teacher. "
Reply by Sankar
Your previous lessons are not completely done ,you have not shown me the pieces correctly I have shown it you and from your side class got also delayed, maam you have only 3 classes left which I have told I will complete it. Sometimes you love the lessons and you have told me that you can do the piece and show it me I also told you that you have many tecnical pieces left which we have to workout . Ok I will sure return the money.

"Very inconsistent, irregular, impunctual in taking classes. Teaching quality is good. Does not maintain time. Does not maintain any fixed day in a week. Have to continuously beg for taking classes. "

"He is not punctual at all. His communication with students is not cooperative. He didn't have any fixed classes and timings. "
Reply by Sankar
First o all maam I am extremely sorry I have told you that I will definitely complete the class, weekly one class you have taken and 2 class completed successfully but 2 class left,the month didn't completed and you are telling me that you want to off the class, I have given you all the lesoons as well as videos , but now its your mood to discontinue the class and defame me by writing long texts on whatsapp wow, no problem I am immediately return your money, the students definitely know who I am and my lesoons thank you for defaming me, every month a single student will come out of 10 they come here just to make a teacher defame, but not his lesoons. But for other reasons , your December month is not over and you have 2 class left if you with take that thank you.

"I always wanted someone to teach my son the guitar passionately. And I think you are exactly the right person for it. My son just love the style you teach him play guitar. It's really my pleasure to have you as remo's teacher. He really admires you a lot. And loads of blessings and wishes from us for your bright future. Your knowledge of guitar that remo is perusing from you is really impressive. "

"He is a fraud, Took 2 months' fees in advance for my 2 kids, after that unable to give proper time for classes every time we have to make several calls to him for class. when we requested for money back after 1 month he simply denies it. No doubt having good knowledge but the intention is not good totally money minded. be careful before you take classes from him, mainly online, as I am from Hyderabad and opt for online classes, don't know how he is treating his local students 3000 rs will not make any difference, Shankar but you lost your trust, Knowledge wise he is very good. "

First of all the i have given all the appropriate Lessons to the students and at every class i am asking have you practiced the piece the students are giving excuses day by day and directly told me we have not practiced the piece ,is that my fault ,you have skipped one month class because of telling that they have some sort of exam,and you have to go to some place i waited ,your money is precious but my time is not right? Wow i have all proofs of the class as well as class recording also if you wish i can share it then you know who is dedicated who is not,your son knows everything but doesn't know a single alphabet in the guitar please kindly tell him by this technique he never can paas the trinity College of london exam,abrsm or lcm there are some things which he have to learn. And all of that i have given 2 hour o class each i know that giving all the appropriate theory , lesoons ,sheets and you stopped for one month because of exam i also told you that i will take the remaining class but from your side no reply came. And now you are defaming me , please come on an video class i will show and record the whole class whose problem is there ok Thank you for defaming me .

Acoustic guitar, within 5 to 7 k is appropriate, go for the side cut guitar rather than Dregnought guitar, you can buy local made guitars like givson(Kolkata) ,gioson, yemaha(ichapur),
Or you can buy imported and china and indonesia made guitars like
Yamaha f310, ibanez, cort, fender,
But dont buy cheap guitars like juarez
