Now in its 6th year, the All India Fingerstyle, organised by long-standing partner
Infinite Souls, expands to an international competition and becomes
Global Guitar Gita (GGG), open to guitarists of all styles and forms, from anywhere in the world. GGG will not only offer a platform to budding artists but also provide them the long term vision of how to be authentic creators in a global market. Through constant advocacy for guitar and provision of learning and expression opportunities, we want to contribute to the growth of a community.
