These one-on-one lessons are for anyone new to guitar. You'll get personal guidance to build a strong base, focusing on the essentials and moving at your speed.
We’ll start with basic chords, simple strumming, and playing familiar tunes. We’ll build your rhythm, technique, and hand control so you feel confident right away. As you improve, you’ll try different styles, from Western classics to Bollywood hits, making learning fun and varied.
Each session helps you gain practical skills while keeping things enjoyable and rewarding. In just a few lessons, you’ll be playing songs you enjoy and setting up for more advanced skills later. Whether you want to play your favorite tunes or simply pick up a new interest, these lessons will keep you going and improving.
How It Works
Starting guitar can feel like a lot. Maybe you’re unsure which guitar to buy, or where to begin. Once you have a guitar, you might wonder what to practice, how to actually improve, or if you're even doing things right.
That’s where I come in. I’ll help you build a strong base, step-by-step, with a clear structure so you feel confident and enjoy playing from day one.

What Beginners Are Saying
I always wanted to learn guitar, but I never thought I'd be able to practice consistently with all the travel for work. Sebastian Sir is very helpful and keeps in touch regularly to follow up with practice assignments. The exercises are easy, and I can practice even when I'm traveling. I feel good playing guitar.

I was nervous but excited to start learning guitar. Sebastian Sir helped me pick out a nice one after our initial meeting, and then we got started. So far, it's been a little over two months, and I can play Kaisi Paheli. Sir is encouraging me to sing as well. It's a great learning experience.

I was a bit skeptical about whether I would be able to learn guitar since I don't have any family background in music. But once I began strumming, that hesitation went away. I regularly follow Sebastian Sir's practice regime throughout the week and that helps me retain the lessons.
