# How do I start learning Indian classical music on the guitar?

 Updated 25 October 2026

 

To start Indian classical music on the [guitar](/en-in/instrumental/carnatic-classical/guitar), learn with KalaSudha online or in a workshop, beginning at **Foundation** level. The first stage settles your sitting position and right-hand technique, whether you fingerpick or use a plectrum. We teach children as well as adults: ask us about a starting age and about a guitar size for a younger learner.

Guitarists returning after a long break start again where they left off. Our [courses](/en-in/courses) run in levels, so your teacher reviews where you stand first.
