Dipanshu

Hi there, My name is Dipanshu Mohapatra and I am a guitarist cum songwriter. I have been playing guitar for almost 8 years now and learned mostly from youtube and watching others play. Along the way, I played over 100 plus live gigs and shows. Side by side I also used to give offline lessons to beginner guitar players under the name Play Loud Guitar School. I always wanted to write for a blog, so I thought why not start a blog of my own and write all about guitars. Here, I am with Pick Up The Guitar. I hope you enjoy the content on this site as much as I enjoy creating it for you.
