Hi, We recently opened a Performing Arts Studio near MG Road, Gurgaon. What is the best way to connect with best of the teachers for Dance, Vocal, Instrumental music, Painting etc.? and anyone with a unique skill set who needs a platform. Your advice will be appreciated. Thanks

I dont know anything about guitar or how to use it also. How much time will it take to learn for me? I don't want to be a professional in it ..But likely

Even if you do not want to be a pro but you still would want to be good in it. Also, a lot depends upon the amount of time that you give to your guitar and also the amount of concentration you put into it while practicing. Given that you give a concentrated practice with your instrument everyday for 1 hour. Then in three months you will have some decent knowledge of chord embellishments and scales. Which means you can strum the guitar and sing along the song you want. Given that its not a very tough song. Also you will be able to make some melodies. And ofcourse all this has to be done with the proper music theory for it to make sense. I hope it helps.

Blues and jazz are western music styles. But not western classical style. If you want to know the difference il suggest that you check out John williams guitar player, Andres segovia etc.. you can find people playing fernando sor and guiliani pieces also. One of my personal favourite is La catedral by augustin barrios. you can find people playing that piece on youtube. These are WESTERN CLASSICAL. While blues include a different feeling altogether. although you can find some poeple amalgamating blues into western classical but that is a fusion kind of thing. One example is a piece called BOnza's blues. But pure blues ... listen to miles davis,gary moore and more. Just fiddle around on youtube. For jazz- listen to thellonius monk, Charlie parker. Also there is a new type of jazz that has developed recently. Listen to HAYATUS KAIYOTE, SNARKY PUPPY, BROTHERLY. You can find them easily on youtube. I hope after this you get the idea of the three genres. I wish you luck.!!
