How to Play Guitar: The Fundamentals

Hi! I’m Priyanshu and I love the guitar. The guitar is a simple & beautiful instrument, and with the right guidance on the fundamentals, playing guitar will come as naturally to you as walking. I have been playing guitar professionally for almost a decade, and I got Grade 8 certified in Electric Guitar Performance from Rockschool London in February 2021.

I have been sharing my passion for guitar through teaching, for more than 3.5 years. During this time, I have taught students of all different age groups, from beginner to advanced levels, and based in various continents. These classes have been one-on-one & held online. My students have seen immense growth in their guitar abilities, music theory, and overall understanding of music.

I also have an upcoming group class starting in January called “How To Play Guitar: The Fundamentals” where students will learn the foundational skills, so that you can play your favorite songs and make your own music. Music is just like any other language. Without knowing the A, B, C of English, you may struggle to communicate, even if you successfully learn to say “What's your name?” Similarly, if you learn a song on the guitar without knowing the basics, you may struggle to change the key of the song, or learn a second song.

That’s why this class focuses on the fundamentals of guitar & music theory, so that you are well prepared to pick up any song, of any genre. It is an interactive class where you will apply everything you learn, within the class itself.

You’ll end the class with complete knowledge of the instrument, ability to play all notes on it, and a finger stretching exercise to build your strength & stamina.

1. Guitar (Electric / Acoustic)
