ABHINAV GUPTA
Guitarist + Composer
BIO
As a young boy, I started my musical journey by playing along to my favourite Metallica songs on the guitar. This marked the beginning of a lifelong passion and dedication for music.
I received a merit scholarship to study at Swarnabhoomi Academy of Music, Chennai and graduated in 2019. Along with the brilliant faculty and peer at SAM, I also had the privilege of studying with:
Chris Whiteman
former full-time faculty at the University of Miami, mentor to grammy-winning artists like D'Angelo
Ryan Leach
award-winning composer for film and TV, whose music has been heard on every major network such as Netflix and Disney
As a guitarist and composer based in Delhi, I'm currently teaching and working on my first album which draws heavily from genres that continue to influence my musical growth and taste: western pop, jazz, and hindi music.
Music Lessons
Having closely observed my mentors for more than a decade, I believe the most effective way to learn about music is how we learn to speak—through observation and active participation.
Just as our ability to speak develops with reading, listening, and studying grammar, our musical skill improves with:
Practicing with Good Technique
makes playing easy and engaging
Ear Training
helps build our perception of pitch and rhythm
Understanding Music Theory
helps us see how music work as a language
and Playing Regularly of Course!
My aim is to provide each student with simple strategies, so they can set clear goals and organize their time efficiently.

From a firm foundation to advanced learning, his method of teaching is phenomenal. Bag of knowledge this guy, I'd say one of the best in our country! His YouTube recordings urged me to contact him for specific lessons.

Abhinav has always fought to reach the core of every musical concept and is never satisfied with conventional superficial solutions. I identify this and his other qualities as fundamental requirements for any true artist, beyond the normal and expected dedication we see in excellent students.

Abhinav demonstrates a sincere desire to grow as a musician and a wonderful enthusiasm for the learning process. Never looking for shortcuts, rather seeking to develop a strong foundation in the fundamentals of music.
