I offer comprehensive and personalized lessons for both acoustic (steel-string and nylon-string) and electric guitar, combining practical playing skills with strong music theory.

Whether you're a complete beginner, preparing for Grade 8, working toward a diploma, or looking to master advanced guitar techniques, I’ll guide you step by step—from your first chords to confident performance, improvisation and composition.
My personalized curriculum incorporates elements of Trinity College London, Rockschool and ABRSM, along with a wide range of popular songs to keep lessons engaging and relevant. Depending on your goals, lessons can cover:
• Guitar technique and fretboard knowledge
• Music theory and sight-reading
• Improvisation and soloing
• Ear training and transcription
• Rhythm and timing
• Advanced techniques for rock, metal and other genres
• Trinity, Rockschool & ABRSM exam preparation

Every lesson is adapted to your current level, learning pace and individual goals. Whether your aim is to pass an exam, become a better performer, learn your favorite songs, or develop into a well-rounded musician, I’ll build a structured learning path around you.
I also encourage students to take a free demo class before committing. You’re welcome to explore different teachers and choose the one who best matches your goals and learning style.

He is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and supportive. His dedication to his students' success is evident in his willingness to go the extra mile, providing additional resources and guidance. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone seeking a trustworthy and effective tutor.
Himanshu is the best teacher I had for music. He answers every question that I asked to make some things clear about music theory. Because I have many questions about music theory, and he knows a lot about music theory. He is fluent in speaking the English language and I can understand him clearly. He teaches concepts that make music theory easier to understand. His step-by-step approach on music theory is the best in my opinion or maybe one of the best in teaching. He is not judgmental because for me, I am a slow learner. You can ask him anything and he will answer every question about music theory that he knows. I recommend him as a guitar/music theory teacher. Until now I still message him whenever I have questions. Learning is a long -time process and I have learned from him about the important parts of music theory. For me one of the most important is how to play in key on the guitar and which notes to play to harmonize my guitar playing to rhythm guitar and other instruments on a specific key because notes are the same with different instruments. He is a good coach and will encourage you to play and love music. I recommend Himanshu as a teacher of music theory. He is a mentor, a teacher, and a good friend. I met him online from one of the guitar pages on Facebook. He offered to teach music theory and I agree. I have learned a lot about music theory from him. Aside from Music theory he is teaching me now how to mix music in the computer and he is helping me to manage my dream to be a youtuber.
