Moreover, flexible timings avoid any chances of missing the class. One even do not need to carry his/her guitar in class, as the staff provides the same. It was indeed a great experience to learn a guitar in 'Guitar Hall academy'. Thanks to all the staff for helping me in learning a guitar. All the Best!

I don't know where to start off as I have been a student of Guitar Hall only since past 2 months, learning my first module. I started learning guitar when I was just out of college i.e. in 1999 through a personal tutor. I had completed the primer then but soon I took up a job and then guitar was left way behind. But the passion to learn guitar was still alive. So now after 11 years when I left my job the first thing I wanted to do was to learn guitar. On my search for Guitar classes Guitar Hall's website was the first I came across and seemed quite promising. But was quite dissappointed that they did not have any centres in South Mumbai. I was more keen to learn in a class environment so I joined another class but left in 2 months as the course was not planned and was already being taught songs by the tutor. I want to have a strong foundation and not learn guitar as a hobby. I started my search again for another class and I came across Guitar Hall again. And this time I finally decided to call them. I got a very good response from them. Dhruv gave me an option of personal tutions. Though I would have loved to learn in a class but I am happy with the personal tutions too. The course is well planned with exams and Trinity certification. My tutor, Chetan, has good knowledge of guitar and I am happy with his teaching. Guitar Hall is the only acadamy (atleast in Mumbai) analogous a guitar school where one can graduate and master a Guitar. I am happy to be part of it and I hope Guitar Hall helps me to fulfill my dream of mastering guitar. P.S. - I would suggest you to open a centre in South Mumbai too.. Guitar Hall…..

The school has warm appeal....the instructors are always smiling, ever willing to help, counselling each individual on their personal abilities, patient with slow learners and the best part...they manage to infuse the passion they have lived with for the guitar in particular and music in general. It is considered a good trait of a school when the student looks forward to going back to class each day.....i am faced with this positive syndrome. I am here on a long journey.......and i can vouch for the fact that the two hours on every sunday act as the adrenalin rush to see me through a week of hectic corporate work. Wish the founders and teachears the very best. Guitar Hall is helping me fulfill a long cherished dream of being able to strum a guitar to produce soothing notes.

After hearing about Guitar Hall’s reputation in Mumbai, I decided to inquire and found everything to be as good if not better than my expectations. One walk into their academy and you quickly realize it isn’t a normal institute. They have state of the art facilities, many teachers in the class and equipment that’s available to all of their students. I’ve never seen anything like it! They have more diversity in their students, teachers and facilities than there are styles of music! From head bangers to blues lovers to Hindi music freaks, they’ve got it all. To see Guitar Hall in action is an experience in itself and to see an amazing school that truly sets its goals to make one succeed above all the rest Guitar Hall is what you make of it. If you want to study hard and enrich yourself musically, you can do that here. If you want to practice hard and take your instrumental/vocal ability to a new level, you can do that here. If you want to prepare yourself for an actual career in the music industry, you can do that here. If you just want to have a good time, play some music, and meet like-minded people, you can do that here too. I am currently attending sessions at Guitar Hall,Vashi.Timings are completely flexible. Students can walk in between 11 Am to 8 Pm every day. The truth is: there are a lot of Guitar Hall students who have become successful in music and that’s the reason I enrolled for the courses at Guitar Hall in spite of there being 4-5 more institutes in Vashi teaching music.That said, this is probably the best place to study if you want to do anything serious with music. (And it’s pretty good for those not too serious too!) The teachers are real world professionals, and some are world-class musicians, but you have to make them sure that you are serious about your music. I’m constantly intimidated by the level of talent of my peers here at Guitar Hall, but I’m also constantly inspired by the wonderful music I hear everyday by the teachers. It’s a niche institute and I highly recommend anyone with a SERIOUS interest in music to look no further. You’ll quickly realize how much more you can get out of Guitar Hall than from any other music school in the country. Heartfelt thanks to Santosh Sir,Bhuvan Sir And Nevin Sir for your attention,hard work and patience.I am now going for the Module 2! Guitar Hall surely is the coolest music school around.

I am a more talented, confident and driven female guitarist. If there was any advice I could give. It would be to go out and do it now. Don’t wait too long. Go for your dream. Also be realistic. Don’t think about that you want to do this to be a rockstar,because there are a hundred others like you here. Its Mumbai and its not easy as the Rock scene in India is pathetic and about Bollywood the least said the better. Be prepared to work hard and harder for what you love to do and i recommend do it for yourself.Not for anyone else.Thats what i learnt from Kiran Sir. I would have started at a lot younger age but when I wanted to join Guitar Hall I didn’t know any girls who wanted to learn guitars and my parents were clueless of my aspirations. I ended up going to a drawing class instead first before landing in Guitar Hall to pursue my aspirations as a guitarist and was I mistaken! I found out that there were more girls than guys learning guitars at Guitar Hall that too since years and there were some girls who played amazing guitars(one of them is Archana Laxminarayan who has written on the guestbook just 2 testimonials above mine,she just plays amazing!I am a secret admirer of yours Archana!:-) and that acted as the perfect anecdote I needed to practice harder. Go ahead by all means. You would benefit a lot if you put into practice the Guitar Hall method of guitar learning.A special thanx to all my teachers,Kiran Sir,Dhruv Sir,Oais Sir,Santosh Sir,Bhuvan sir and Aman Sir for working on me and converting a person who could not even hold the guitar properly into a decent guitar player who today does not think twice before performing anywhere.

I still remember my last class in Jubail (Saudi Arabia), where, i used to struggle and plead to get songs!,but today, things are not at all the same! I started of learning guitar in 2009, when i just came across the Guitar Hall website, by fluke. I had immeadiately called my dad, to check it out, n we were both just musmerised! As soon as I came to India, i thought GH would be run by just 1 boring person, like my old teacher..........BUT....my frst session, wich I can never forget was THE turning point, and my mind changer! Days went by, I met new teachers and people...started learning songs, grades,skills,exercises,solo's etc. My heart pained a lot after while I had my last session..:(:( These memories were stored in my brain. I kept on practicing the same things,that i had learnt before. And then came the drastic change, I guess in January, I started playing songs while singing! My parents were amazed and all I said was,"GUITAR HALL!" This soon became my passion(guitaring). I used to play guitar even in the two minutes i found! Kept on working on solo's,chords and finally succeeded in making English as well as Hindi songs! This year, the first thing I did when I reached India was i told my mom,"Get ready for tomorrow morning, I am eagerly waiting for returning to guitar hall!" Today I can say, Guitar Hall has given me evrything I wanted! It has helped me found my talent! I would convey my heartiest thnaks to my tutors- Krain Sir, Dhruv Sir, Bhuvan sir, Santosh Sir, Oais Sir(2009),Aman Sir! Thank you all...ffor all your hardwork and patience!

The staff being professional guitarists themselves doesn’t hurt much! The Guitar Hall Boutique is more than a place to buy guitars. It is a community with a camaraderie usually reserved for old school coffee shops, hookah lounges and pool parlors. The staff will treat you like family and don't be surprised if you wander in on a friendly jam at any given moment. I had bought a Hobner guitar 2 years back from there and after that i look forward for my trips to the Guitar Hall Boutique to restring my guitar and for general servicing every 4-5 months. The staff obliges every time with a smile. This according to me sets Guitar Hall apart from the other music stores in Mumbai. All the musical instruments shops in Mumbai sells guitars,alright.But the after sales service which you get at Guitar Hall is something which makes it special. Recently when I came to the Boutique I learnt now they have 10 centers (When I bought my guitar they had just 1). Now you know what I am talking about! They deserve to be the numero uno.No other shop in Mumbai has 10 centers for heavens sake! Sure, you can go to other stores where I'm sure the staff will gladly regurgitate the sales pitch they have been trained for and may even quickly spout off the names of what famous artists play versions of this Takamine or that Yamaha with a smile. But you don't go to Big Bazaar electronics section when you are ready to purchase a real stereo, so why would you go to other musical instruments shops who sell a little bit of everything when all that you need is a real guitar and you have the specialists selling them. Do yourself a favor. If you are ready for a real guitar, ready to hear how the instrument is supposed to sound when you strike the chords correctly... Go to The Guitar Hall Boutique. You and your girlfriend will thank yourself later, I promise. Though I don’t know any of the staff personally I take this opportunity to thank them all for their wonderful services and great behavior with me.
