Dear all, I have been fan of guitar now for a long time and was in an impression that I need to learn playing classical guitar to play guitar. Once while speaking to one of my friends who himself a guitarist (unfortunately now he is out of India and we are no more in touch), I understood that I need not to be a classical guitar player to play for myself. He cited example of Mr. Anjan Dutta. He suggested me "Just learn to play for yourself, so that you can accompany yourself for the little bit horrible songs that you sing out". Now at last I have decided to learn guitar. Frankly nor do I want to be a master in playing guitar neither do I have the talent required. I just want to learn simple chord playing so that I can play for myself. Previously I tried my hand with one of the local guitar teachers, but to my disappointment I found that his objective was to play rabindrasangeet on his guitar. For last few days I have been going through the posts here and thought you guys are the best to suggest me from whom to learn. As I scrolled through the posts, I also understood that Mr. Amyt Dutta would be too much for me to understand. I also understand Mr. Vikramjit Banerjee also teaches playing guitar. Can someone give me his contact no., so that I can get in touch with him. My e-mail ID is: shubhokar_rudra@yahoo.co.in. Would also love to have a suggestion on one thing from you guys, who have been playing guitars for quite a time now and attained a certain degree of expertise. I want to strum with bare fingers. Don't want to use...ummm...I don't know what that small thing is called, which is used for strumming. See, I am so uneducated in things related to guitar...having a good laugh over it ? Have a hearty laugh. Anyway pls let me know the contact no. of Mr. Vikramjit Banerjee and your valuable suggestion on the above. best wishes,
Well, one commendable thing is that you know which direction you want to go with your guitar playing. I'll PM you Vikramjit's contact number. I hope you'll develop a wish to learn guitar seriously to an advanced level...
I'll suggest don't go with a closed mind about what you want to learn. However, if you just want to learn basic chords, you probably don't need someone like Tuki da. Just get someone who knows how to play to teach you chords.
dude even I am looking for a guitar teacher and am interested in rock music I stay in bangur area if ya find a good teacher do let me know I dont mind going in close area as I have my own car. So if ya find some good teacher do let me know also
I have already spoken to Tuki...he is not providing tuition now, perhaps from Jan'09. Can u suggest someone else' name. As I understand Mr. Amyt Datta is for advanced users. Can u suggest someone's name, who can teach me chord playing.. best wishes, SKR
