Welcome Guitar Enthusiasts

Congratulations for taking the first step to learning Guitar.  My name is Vivek and I have been playing this wonderful instrument since my school days. It is immensely fulfilling to be able to play your favorite tune on a musical instrument as versatile as the Guitar. And I am here to help you reach to that level. 

Though music is a vast ocean and it is best to have a long term goal while beginning to learn any instrument, there are a few things more important than others and there are a few ways which give the result more quickly and accurately. 

My teaching philosophy

Through personal experience I could not emphasize more on the importance of a music teacher specially in the earlier stages of our musical journey. Learning music is not just being able to play a few tunes or songs but to understand the whole "HOW AND WHY" of it.  A systematic approach is of utmost importance. The problem with learning from the internet and books is not that of lack of material but it is of "TOO MUCH INFORMATION". Beginners don't know what to practice and what not. What comes first and what after that. Students who have tried to learn this way will agree with me.  

For the benefit I have developed a systematic way to learning Western Contemporary Guitar. I call it the "CREATIVE GUITAR METHOD". It leads the student from complete beginner's level to intermediate and advanced level.
