Guitar
"I improved so much after playing guitar with Shovik sir. Before i couldnt even play lead parts slowly but now i can play it in a pretty fast tempo. The exercises sir gives improves the control, speed and finger placement if you practice enough. I never could play barre chords but now i can play a few of them. About Shovik sir, he is just epic with those shredding lead parts and chord progessions. None of my past teachers could play like this sir and they were very still famous. In other words , i just improved a lot in this short period of time with Shovik sir. "

"Shovik is awesome guitar player. my kids are learning guitar from shovik since last year in virtual mode (online). I like his way of teaching . "
Suraj Kumar
"Have a good number of years of experience so he know where his student might be struggling in learning new things. Clear all doubts with personal guidance. Give thorough knowledge of music theory before making you learn songs on guitar. So someday if you apply those music theory properly you can create your own songs and even by just listeniy to music you would be able to play it yourself. "
Sumir
"Extremely knowledgeable into any genre of music be it Jazz, Blues, Indian Classic. An artist who produces music is the best guide to guide from the musicality perspective and to inspire you to follow a similar approach. I started taking classes from him from last 1 year and I think I have progressed a lot in terms of my music theory and application of music theory be it using Arpeggios, Scales, ear training, fretboard visualisation etc. He understood my requirements as I had self learned guitar for 3 years and wanted to well round my knowledge and open my perspective about music. He gave specific exercises on the fretboard with guitar pro files which really helped me in flexibility and my picking technique and every discussion fueled some ideas which I also went and learned more about it. Well its also a fact that no tutor can do the magic and you also have to practice a lot and explore music by combining songs and different exercises in routine which is the methodology used by Souvik Sir as well. Besides all if this he is a great Singer and I was really surprised by his singing skills and that is very inspiring for me as singing really helps to translate it to the instrument. I am still loving the discussions with him and it really helps when you don't have a musical group around you to talk to someone who opens up your mind. "

Spend a few years on acoustic guitar first to get a grasp of the fretboard and all the scale shapes ,arpeggios ,triads,chord inversions and build finger strength and control as much as possible..then move on to an electric where you'll need to control the sounds by getting to know about the technical aspects like gain, noise gates, amps and cabinets, effects like distortion ,reverb ,chorus,etc..its a whole different world when it comes to play the electric guitar

A tutor sets up a curriculum..a path way towards step by step progress..gives the student practice materials as per the level of the student..without tutor the student can never decide to choose the best material out of the immense plethora of info available in the internet..and becomes spolt for choice..so if you are not an advanced player, go and train under a good tutor

5 years can be the age to start if the child is motivated properly both by the parents and the teacher..The child needs to develop a sense of passion for music and for that, a regular listening habit, to quality music, has to be developed..parents should give the child such a milieu to grow up, listening to good informative music everyday..
