About Saikat
○ I'm a Modern Experimental Percussive Fingerstyle Guitarist and a Music Composer with the Knowledge of many other Musical Instruments!
○ Been Teaching Guitar and some other Instruments since 2018. Striking fact about me is that I started learning at 2016. So I have all the secret and tricky hacks to master the instruments quicker but in exchange of tremendous dedication and Patience.
○ I'm a certified guitar Teacher with a Distinction in Grade 8 from London College of Music under The University of West London. I didn't appear for the previous Grades and confidently cracked Grade 8.
○ I'm from Bengal and I specialise in Rabindrasangeet and I've published the First ever Fingerstyle Musical Notations Book of Rabindrasangeet on 2019 currently available throughout the world online on Platforms like Amazon! It's shocking that no one tried to do this before.
○ So many students have performed live fingerstyle events already and Got Distinctions in Graded Exams (Exams are not mandatory though, Practice is )

My teaching method is Flexible!
‣ In 2-3 weeks I get a clear Idea of a Student's weakness and based on that I effectively give them exercises to overcome them!
‣ I frequently push the limits of my students with counseling and Practical examples!
‣ I also focus on simplifying music theories and teach their application which helps my students to figure out new musical ideas on their own! [ especially in the time of misleading commercial beckoning like 'learn everything quick' or 'play 30 songs with 2 chords'- where students are becoming divergent from learning the fundamentals and after few months they are stuck and cannot progress anymore; I try to give them a guide to learning to figure out things on their own in the future. ]
‣ When it comes to Fingerstyle students get a proper idea from me on how to arrange their own song rather than strictly sticking to a piece of paper.
‣ I keep a balance between students requested stuffs and the stuffs which are actually necessary for their improvement.
‣ Most importantly students who are impatient with developing something properly then progressing to the next level- I teach them the Value of two elements- •Melody (Notes) •Rhythm (Tempo) without which basic music is incomplete or non-musical. So I teach them the value of both the elements and how to keep up with them slowly.

Perfect! His commitment and approach to teaching combined with his patience and creativity is a rarity! Wishing him upwards and onwards from here!!
Perfect! I’ve been learning from Saikat for the past two weeks, and it has been nothing short of pure joy. From the very first session, I was captivated by his playing style—it left me truly mesmerized. I’ve always been fascinated by fingerstyle guitar and dreamed of learning it someday. Luckily, I found Saikat at just the right moment.
Learning a physical instrument like the guitar—especially fingerstyle—can be quite challenging in an online setting. But to my surprise, Saikat makes it incredibly effective. He literally makes the best use of technology, using multiple camera angles and high-quality audio that capture every details—something absolutely essential when you're learning such a sophisticated technique remotely.
On the very first day, we had a thoughtful conversation about my musical tastes and goals. Then, he picked up his guitar and instantly performed one of my favorite songs in fingerstyle. I was left in awe thinking, “Wow, this is exactly what I want to learn.”
What sets Saikat apart is his ability to simplify complex theoretical concepts into layman's language. Each lesson feels thoughtfully crafted and tailored for my understanding. I'm truly enjoying this melodious adventure with Saikat and look forward to many more days of learning and growing under his guidance.Perfect! Saikat ji has the ability to make a complete novice feel like they could actually develop the ability to play the acoustic guitar. He answers every question and helps the student learn the skill in a fun and fulfilling way. I am excited to see how far I can go with my acoustic guitar journey with Saikat Ji as my teacher.
- Raihanah Ma'am is a teacher herself, so while teaching her guitar I learn a lot from her too. Really enjoying the classes with her.Saikat's response :
Perfect! Saikat is very knowledgeable and a committed teacher. My child truly enjoys learning with him.
Perfect! I have been learning guitar from Saikat for the last two months. He is an excellent teacher. I tried to learn guitar from YouTube for almost a year, but it did not help. But Saikat's approach of teaching various finger exercises on the guitar has greatly improved my control of the instrument. He is not only an experienced guitarist but he has great knowledge of music. This makes the learning more interesting and effective.
- Extremely Calm and humble person. Soham is very curious to learn more and is very patient with all kind of practices. Having a great time teaching him.Saikat's response :
Perfect! Saikat sir is an amazing teacher.. I took ukelele classes from him in offline mode and in the first 2 classes only i fell in love with his teaching methods.. With patience and with very much clarity he teaches the basic concepts about ukelele...His method of teaching is very friendly not at all strict.. in a very friendly atmosphere he teaches you to play.. but unfortunately i couldn't continue the classes due to my college study pressure but good news is that i am again restarting my ukelele classes from saikat sir tomorrow onwards and i am looking forward again this time to learn to play ukelele fully from him... Just close your eyes and take guitar and ukelele classes from him.. his skills won't disappoint you... He has some kind of magic in his fingers... Best musical teacher you can ask for...

Perfect! Saikat complements practical classes with music theory, which I highly appreciate. He has explained the logic behind every progression, which has made retaining chords easier. Not only this, saikat has tried to engage over and above normal classes to share his musical preferences with me. Saikat is very passionate that his teaching makes his students appreciate/understand music.
- Extremely friendly Student and interactive. Priyama is interested in learning the music theory and how everything functions in music. She is also interested in musicology and other associated stuff which makes our session more interesting. Happy to have been teaching her.Saikat's response :

- Firdous has been picking up everything so fast and she has a target to sing with the guitar. I feel she'll be able to master it soon.Saikat's response :
Perfect! I have been playing guitar for just over an year now and I wanted to give my guitar learning some structure. I reached out to Saikat and he first evaluated my playing skills and recommended that I start with finger style basic. Since then I have been very happy with the way I've been able to learn from him. He gives a lot of attention to the detail. He gives you a good understanding of music theory along with the practical techniques! I do 2 classes a month but with his guidance I have been able to make decent progress. I would like to highly recommend him
