Recommended Guitar Teacher in Your Area - lets start with Bangalore, Mumbai And Delhi

There's one problem I've noticed here and I've been wanting to plug this - I want users on IGT, especially newbies, to have a list of 'Recommended teachers' in their area.

If I was to do it alone, I'll never be able to come up with a comprehensive list. Let us not make this an advertisement thread. Let's keep this as a genuine - Recommended teachers - thread.

Recommend those people who you've personally interacted with, those guys who you can vouch for and those guys who you believe will be of value to newbies.

If you are a music teacher / an institute, please don't hesitate to tell us about yourself. One way of proving your worthiness is by showing up some links where people have spoken about you or websites have written about you. This list will be very carefully built and we'll not add any passer by in here.

The reason is very clear and loud, we want newbies to go to the right people and not be scammed by 'so-called-music-teachers' who are worth nothing in real life.

Please suggest responsibly.

Cheers !

PS: Try to fill in as much as details as possible: Specific area, type of music and rates, should help.

Mumbai:-

Classic Rock :-
-Bismark(Somewhere at Bandra...not sure bout the location). This legendary guy is bcum really very old now. I heard recently that his son teaches as well and he is good too..
-Ravi Iyer(Kandivali)(Band - Vayu(Ex band), Paravayu). This guy is a completely Floyd kinda player. Go to him for learning any damn Classic Rock Cover and all the basics of guitar theory. He is an excellent Cover guy.

Jazz :-
- Joe(Borivali). Excellent Jazz musician. Lot of originality People who want to learn to Improvise and create some original stuff. Go to Him.

Heavy Metal :-
-Dennis(Borivali)..One of the greatest Metal Rhythm player in Mumbai. He is a a kick ass heavy player when it comes to Off beat rhythms and weird time signatures.

Classic Rock/ Metal/ Neo Classical -
Chandresh Kudwa(Loc:-Malad)(Band - Dream Out Loud). This guy is a very good teacher but he charges a lot somewhere around 2000 - 2500/- for 4 sessions. He teaches Neo Classical stuff too...Kind of an allrounder u can say....

Heavy Metal - Gilroy(Malad).. Amazing guitarist. He was associated with the band "Naked Earth" in somewhere around 1980's. That band was a kick ass heavy metal band. I know this guy coz my Drum sir used to be a drummer for this band. Awesome Rhythms, awesome soloing. A complete metal head..

Mumbai-
Ansar is better than Chandresh in my experience and charges less than half
ansar1313's Channel - YouTube

Bismark is by far the best teacher in Mumbai

Jammu-Sanjeev Sharma
teaches all forms of music and charges 500/month

hey what about louis banks in mumbai...he plays keyboard though...m from jamshedpur so..i would prefer abhijeet basu...in kolkata...amyt dutta,calcutta school of music,trinity,carlton kitto...

Just found out about this guy...
if you want to excel in rhythm guitar/acoustic/classical
Second best to bismark in my opinion for finger picking styles
Rs 800 a month
once a week... but you can sit for 4-5 hours

Name: Abraham Jadhav

Navi Mumbai,
Belapur,
Artist Colony

FYI:::: TAAQADEMY - Run by Bruce Lee Mani has been shifted from Queen's Road to Sony World, Koramangala (above Mahindra Showroom)
