About Rafif

I am Rafif, and I am really just a music enthusiast. I know what it feels like to be stuck learning a single song, and what it feels like to know absolutely nothing about music.

I have been playing guitar for half my life and take great pride in sharing my knowledge and passion with people looking to get into it. I have played many times on stage, both solo and in a band, and I love being able to play guitar for myself and others.

At the end of this, you will be able to learn any song you'd like, using just your ears. It will be difficult, and a lot of practice will be required, but stay with me and it will all be worth it in the end.

Looking forward to working with you!

About the lesson

Want to master the acoustic guitar without the frustration? My online lessons are tailored entirely to your personal musical goals. I do not believe in boring, generic drills. Instead, I use a song-based teaching method. We break down the mechanics of rhythm, strumming, and fingerpicking using the real music and genres that you love to listen to.

I specialise in teaching absolute beginners picking up the guitar for the first time, as well as intermediate players looking to break out of a plateau and improve their rhythm or fingerstyle technique.

This is what a typical lesson looks like:
Warm-up: 5 minutes focusing on finger dexterity or a specific technique.

Core Project: 35 minutes breaking down a song, learning new chord transitions, or mastering a strumming pattern.

Digital Resources: After every class, you will receive downloadable PDF chord sheets, custom tabs, and practice summaries.

He showed me how to fall in love with music. He taught me to feel music and express myself in this art. I met him through this app and I am very content with the teaching style. He’s patient and pays close attention to detail. He kept pushing me even when I wanted to throw a fit because “music is not meant for me”. He took faults positively, one time said “there are no mistakes, only happy accidents”

I highly recommend Rafif as a guitar teacher. He taught me how to play guitar and was incredibly patient throughout the entire learning process. What I appreciated most was how he always took the time to explain everything clearly and never rushed through lessons. He made sure I fully understood each concept before moving on, which made learning enjoyable and helped build my confidence. His supportive teaching style made a huge difference, and I’m grateful for everything he taught me.

When did you develop an interest in music and/or your favourite instrument?
My interest in music began when I was introduced to a guitar back in 2019, just before COVID-19. As I learned how to play, my interests evolved. The single most important thing i learnt through all these years is that a person's interest in music is never constant and will always change as they grow.
Is there a particular type of music or an artist that you could happily listen to on a loop?
Currently, I could listen to Radiohead on loop, the album OK Computer specifically. Genre-wise, rock music could never bore me as long as I live.
Explain to us the most difficult or 'riveting' lesson you could personally give to one of your students.
For me, no lesson is too difficult, and no student is too difficult to teach. If I were to say, I would find it very difficult to teach a student a specific "thing" instead of teaching what builds that topic that I am teaching; for example, I would not want to teach a student a riff without explaining what makes the riff special and the scale that riff is in.
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
In my opinion, no instrument can truly be mastered, as there is no limit to how much somebody could know for any specific instrument. For me, the piano, as I have shorter fingers!
What are your keys to success (aside from do re mi fa sol ...)?
Hard work, discipline and the pentatonic scale for any key.
Name three musicians you dream of meeting, and explain why.
John Mayer - Really enjoy his guitar playing style and would love to understand how he views music
Chris Martin - Very humble and I find his views on life to be very beautiful. I would love to talk about that.
Brian May - My favourite guitarist. Love his work and would love to know how he felt writing his past solos
Could you share an anecdote related to your musical journey or your student days?
During COVID-19, I used to spend 7 Hours a day practising guitar, skipping online classes. Due to this, I failed a couple of my subjects, but I quickly got good at playing!
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
I try my best to make sure my students are comfortable and happy with what they've learnt. I also try my best to spark a newfound passion for guitar, or music in general. Even if my lessons did not teach the information, passion can take someone further than what any teacher can try to teach.
