Start Rhythm & Chord Guidance (1 Month)

You already know some chords. Maybe you tried learning a lot of them using chord images.
Yet, they don’t sound full. They don’t sustain. You can’t transition in time. You can’t play in rhythm.

The problem is not the chords. Timing, hand coordination, and transitions are learnt by noticing the micro details beneath the layers.

What usually happens

Mistaken emphasis on the chord images, forgetting the skills of transition.
Trying rhythm without learning the secret of the downstrokes.
Up and down, chord shapes, press hit synchrony, angle of touch – ignored or haphazard.

The result: you know a lot of theoretical chord images. You try rhythm playing, yet… Can’t transition in time, nor play stable rhythm.

The ideal situation

  • You know the underlying finger details of transitions, not static images
  • You know finger preparation, optimized movement between chords
  • Automated rhythm hand using confident rhythm sense
  • Confidence to extend your skills to more chords, rhythms, play along with singing.

Rhythm stays stable, chords get transitioned smoothly.

Why this works

With this option, Shyam will make sure of your progress – you don’t have to worry about that part.

Good rhythm is about observing best practices, trained finger coordination and time division awareness.

With correct sequencing and feedback,
chord changes become an aesthetic dance and rhythm becomes reliable.

Now you can do that without waiting for lessons. You can send practice videos and get corrections whenever life permits. You get curated guidance from an expert.

For deeper corrections, students can continue into the 8- or 12-week program (USD 500 – 900). In which case, the amount you pay here is fully deducted from the total fee.
