With over 25 years of experience performing and recording, I offer guitar lessons focused on musical depth, personal growth, and creative expression. My teaching adapts to each student’s goals, style, and level. Here’s what to expect from my lessons • Focus on technique, rhythm, harmony, and ear training • Lessons tailored to your musical taste and personal goals • Emphasis on feel, tone, phrasing, and musical expression • Practical application through repertoire, improvisation, and real-world examples • Supportive and flexible structure that encourages exploration and progress Whether you are a beginner learning the basics or an advanced player looking to refine your skills, I will help you play with clarity, confidence, and feeling. My goal is to help you sound like yourself, not just play the notes. Lessons are ideal for adults and motivated students of any level who want to build a strong and expressive foundation on the guitar.

I’ve been taking lessons with Rick for a while. We started with the basics but now I’m diving into Bossa Nova and it’s been a game changer. I’ve grown so much and it’s all thanks to him.
He doesn’t just teach you how to play. He helps you find your voice and your style. It’s more than learning guitar. It’s learning how to be an artist.View more recommendations
