• Practice finger independence exercises and try to find anchor points between chords.
• Another exercise you can try is setting a metronome to 60 BPM and then switching chords on every 1st beat, and gradually make it faster, while consciously trying to move all fingers together instead of one at a time. Once you reach 200-240 BPM your chord switching should be good enough to play most songs!

Hi Kunal,

Guitar tabs provide you with instructions on how to play a melody, whereas when you strum, you're playing chords, which are the harmony behind the melody, and in some cases, have a melody running on the upper structure of a chord.

Guitar tabs tell you which fret to play at which string. The bottom most line on the tab is the thickest (Low E) string, and the upper most line is the thinnest (high e) string. Then just play the fret at the string it tells you to and you're playing a melody!

Kadence is relatively new in the guitar manufacturing industry while Yamaha has been making amazing guitars for many years now. I would advise an F310 if you're a beginner since it will undoubtedly be a great guitar.
For more experienced players, always play the guitar before buying it. It should feel right in your hands, and you should love the sound of it. You might connect more to an inexpensive guitar while the connection might be missing in even a Martin or a Taylor.
F310 will last you the test of time, my experience with Kadence has not been great. I got a Kadence Slowhand, and it had some manufacturing defects. Not saying that the guitars are bad, but there's a slight gamble there. I use Kadence products every day (stands, cables, strings, etc.), and they're perfect, however, I still think they need a couple of years of guitar manufacturing experience to be at par with a manufacturer like Yamaha.

Hi Srinu!

The fundamentals of music will remain same whether it's Indian classical or Western music, it's just that the approach and theories of music differ within the respective styles of music. It's easier to start with Western music because there's an abundance of teachers, online lessons, dedicated websites and support. If a person's fundamentals are clear and they have strong basics and a good musical vocabulary, they'll be able to understand and play any style of music. :)
