About me
I'm Raqeeb, a guitarist and teacher based in Lahore, Pakistan, teaching students online across the US, Canada, the UK and Europe. I teach the way I wish I had been taught: less theory up front, more playing, and songs you love from lesson one.
Lessons are in clear English. I also teach in Urdu and Hindi, so South Asian families abroad can learn Bollywood and Coke Studio favourites alongside Western pop and rock.
What students say
"I picked up Em and Am in the very first lesson. Two months later I'm playing full songs at family gatherings."
"Zoom lessons felt just like in person. Every chord was shown close-up, and he is incredibly patient."
"My 12-year-old now practises on her own every day. That never happened with any other class."

Looking for an affordable online guitar teacher without the $60-an-hour local price tag? Students in New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, Chicago, Toronto and Vancouver take private Zoom lessons in their evenings and learn pop, rock, country, worship and acoustic classics.
Part of the South Asian diaspora in the US, UK, Canada or the Gulf? Learn in English, Urdu or Hindi, and play Bollywood, Coke Studio, Atif Aslam, Arijit Singh and Ali Zafar songs alongside your Western favourites. In-person lessons are also available in Lahore, Pakistan.

FAQ
I don't have a guitar yet. Can I still start?
Yes. The trial doesn't need one. Afterwards I'll recommend a good beginner acoustic for your budget, with links for Amazon, Guitar Center or Sweetwater.
How do online lessons work?
Live on Zoom with two camera angles so you see the fretboard and strumming hand clearly. You play along and get corrected in real time. Practice notes, chord sheets and backing tracks follow each lesson.
Which time zones do you teach in?
US and Canada evenings (Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacific), UK and Europe afternoons and evenings, Gulf and Pakistan daytime. Tell me your time zone and I'll send available slots.
How do I pay?
By card or bank via a secure Payoneer payment link in USD, GBP or EUR. Students in Pakistan can pay by JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank transfer.
What ages do you teach?
10 and up, including complete adult beginners. Kids' lessons are shorter (45 min) and more song-based.
What if I miss a lesson?
Reschedule free with 24 hours' notice. The monthly package includes one make-up lesson.
Acoustic or electric?
Either. Beginners usually start on acoustic; if you already own an electric, we start there.
