"Very good, knowledgeable & skilled teacher. His behaviour is very polite and humble. Has sound knowledges of Guitar. Start from the very beginning and cover maximum things in depth of guitar. "
Arpita Das
"Online guitar learning was not a comfort zone for me but he made it a suitable journey. His first introduction about him as a guitarist and also as a teacher easily can inspire anyone to take lessons from him and after 2 or 3 classes about brief description of guitar I have been assured that I will choose a right guy who can built a strong base about this. The most appreciable part is whenever I feel dissapointed than guitar learning is not my kind of job. He encourages me in a new way each time to be done this by me. "

"If you have paid your most valuable money to his account. Then you are in a big trouble. He will take away all your hard earned money will teach you nothing. I have paid him 5000 to learn how to hold the guitar. He is only interested in your money not your guitar classes. He will only sent you some pre recorded dummy videos and photos which will look like a joke to you as you know nothing about it. Thanks please find a better teacher for you guys. Because he is not a teacher he is a cheater. Thank you. Stay away. Be very carefully. I am already trapped. "

"No matter what this guy says or does, 'DO NOT TRUST HIM'. One of the biggest fraudsters who takes others' money and then blocks you. This is my story: During COVID I was on the lookout for a guitar teacher and he reached out to me. He told me that he hailed from a village in West Bengal and was in need of money and to give him one chance to teach and that I wouldn't be disappointed. Guess what? Next he said he charges 1500 for 4 classes a month and that he charges another 1500 as deposit. So I paid which was my biggest mistake. He gives you material which can found on any trinity book and does not care to tell you anything more. He kept postponing for 4 weeks giving excuses such as internet problem, electricity problems etc. After the first class I decided that he is no good and his style does not suit me so I asked him for a refund. Till date he hasn't repaid me back saying first UrbanPro has to tell him and then he will repay. It has been over 5 months now and he has neither refunded my 1500 for one month class nor the deposit. So total 3000 rupees looted. For you all to be aware, I request you not to fall in this trap. He will send you all his fraudulent certificates and then send you pictures of him teaching kids and then he will send you pictures of him performing. He will say that in a month you will become a renowned guitarist and will ask you questions like 'Do you why is a guitar called a guitar?', 'Do you know who invented guitar'. Pls avoid. "

Thank you for your review ok and i know you will give your best to show me fraud ok, i have all the classes. Videos and proof and you are judging my techniques bro, come one day. Sit face to face and you have used slangs, i have proof and you doesn't take your pending classes right? You have problem also ok, bro and all the certificates are verified , and i think you should know the instrument before you play, hope you know everything and sent you 2 month lesoons materials. What did you want grade 8 lesoons for free?
Rupam Nandi
Guitar
"Considering myself as a full time working professional & guitar is a hobby that I wanted to pursue, taking out time over the weekdays was a challenge and to smoothen that challenge I needed a fixed routine from my trainer but due to some reason that was not happening and I ended up having 50% of my scheduled monthly class. Irregularity hampered the charm of learning and I ended up discontinuing the classes just after 2-3 classes where I paid for 2 months in advance. It didn't work out as per the expectation. "
Anirban Pramanick
"Wonderful Guitarist and having knowledge in guitar very well. Explanation in class could have been better if it can be done slowly as everyone has not that much of perfect music sense. If you can catch up Mr. Sankar a master piece for you. Wonderful behavior. All the best for future. "

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
