Founder

Kiran Roy

Founder and lead faculty of Guitar Hall. Lead guitarist of the heavy metal band Lust Of Symphony.

Kiran Roy got his first guitar from his mother at thirteen. In 1998 he began teaching from his home in Mumbai, and students kept arriving from across the state. That home studio became Guitar Hall.

He is known for two‑handed tapping, a technique that lets him play melody, chords and bass at once. Module 1 is built on the way he has taught for nearly three decades.
