The lessons are easy to follow and fun!
You will learn a lot if you choose Rick as a teacher, I can’t recommend him enough.

I’ve been taking guitar lessons for a while now, and I’ve seen great improvement. The teacher provides clear guidance, corrects my bad habits, and helps me understand both technique and musicality on a deeper level. Really grateful for the lessons!

Rick is a phenomenal guitarist and an amazing teacher. Incredibly articulate, detail oriented, patient and understanding. He possessing a vast breadth of knowledge to assist the beginning newbie guitarist all the way to the professional looking to touch up on their skills. Highly recommended.

Ricks been a great teacher. He delivers the content applicable to the student and thier sense of taste in mangeable portions so that if practiced at home noteable progress can be seen rather quickly. Ive become more comfortable moving around the fretboard in key with the mosic i am playing and developing new techniques to become a "tighter" player. Rick has been a great teacher and if you do the work he shows and gives to you, you will see the rewards in your playing.

Rick is an amazing guitar teacher. Very patient and friendly. What's great is he will structure his lessons around what you want to learn. He makes the lessons really fun with exercises and playing around with different techniques. Highly recommended

Rick is a teacher who makes it easy to start learning guitar. He uses a simple and direct way to make me understand what to do correctly and encourages me to practice more. He makes me more interested and confident in learning to play the guitar.

Rick is an excellent teacher with many years and experience. Nothing ever escapes his gaze as he watches you play and is able to pick apart what you can do to improve. He is also very patient and understanding especially for beginner players that their hands are still developing when they're at the beginning of their guitar journey.

What's good about Rick is that he not only teaches you what to do, but tells you why its so important and that each subject he teaches you is built on the foundations of the previous subject. Another cool thing is he teaches you what to look for when you're practicing alone, he helps build a framework on self analysis so you are able to explore by yourself. In simple terms, he helps you fish and teaches you how to fish.

I'll always prefer going to these lessons in person. If you must have online lessons, make sure your internet is good, you have a good microphone and a good camera.

Rick is a professional guitar tutor. He is very patient with beginners and always focuses on foundation. I recommend Rick to anyone who wants to learn guitar seriously.

Rick has a great teaching style and tonnes of confidence in his music, he also intertwines philosophy into his guitar lessons to show how music is more than just noise. He has ample experience with all levels of guitar students and can spot areas to improve quickly and efficiently.

Really good at patiently explaining technique and practice. Has a comprehensive understanding of percussion and music in general whilst keeping the classes light and fun. Highly recommend!

I can't express enough how grateful I am for Rick's guidance and mentorship. Not only does he possess exceptional musical talent, but he also has a unique ability to connect with his students on a deeper level. Rick goes beyond teaching the technicalities of playing an instrument; he teaches how to truly feel the music and discover ourselves through it. His passion for music is contagious, and his lessons have opened a window towards the wonders of life and music. Thank you, Rick, for sharing your incredible talent and wisdom with me!

What are you looking for in a teacher?
What is important to you?

I was looking for someone with infectious passion for music.
Someone whose enthusiasm and encouragement makes you forget you're even learning.
I found these qualitys in Rick.
An extremely knowledgable, skilled and vibrant teacher.
Perhaps not the best if you're after someone stuffy and by the books? Although with his can do attitude I'm pretty sure he could probably nail that too if you needed him to?

His price may look high at first glance, but these are full hour lessons unlike many others. Rick has not been shy to go a little over at times when the lesson has necessitated. No promises though. That might just be my charming influence.

In summary, I cannot recommend Rick enough!

Rick is the best teacher I've ever had! His teaching method is intuitive, exciting and makes learning really enjoyable. He caters his teaching according to my skill level and what I want to learn - I highly recommend Rick to anyone who wants to learn an instrument!

Rick is very knowledgeable around the fretboard, and has the skills to prove it. He pays attention to technique and gives effective pointers to make small changes that facilitate massive results.

I’m an old guy trying guitar again and Rick is great, he’s very patient with someone like me. He understands the frustrations I have encountered and knows how to teach guitar. He’s a great guy even for just having a chat when I’m down with life. For me I doubt I could find anyone better, Rick is wonderful.

Rick is a fantastic guitar teacher and I’m really enjoying every lesson. Even though I am very new to the guitar the passion Rick teaches with and explaining how it all works makes it exciting to learn. I highly recommend Rick and you won’t look back.

I’ve known Rick since 2016.
Since then he’s shared not only his music skills and teaching of, but his kindness also. Which makes the learning come much easier.
His cheerful and helpful spirit is always willing to persist when my understanding is struggling.
Very recommendable as a music teacher and very accommodating in all he puts his heart to do.
Thanks Rick.

Rick has been a great teacher from the beginning, taking into consideration my skill level and goals every session.

He delivers lessons with high professionalism and friendliness. I look forward to growing with his assistance.

Rick is an awesome teacher. He teaches very well. He will make learning Darbuka fun. If you want to have fun drumming, get Rick. ️️️️️ - Michael, 8 years old

Rick is one of the best Darbuka’s teachers that I have ever met. He is so knowledgable and talented. Really enjoying when he plays an instrument. Absolutely recommend him

My name is anahita I had class with Rick, he taught me very well and I had a good time with him, he is very knowledgeable and respectful also responsible I never forget that class . I recommend to all my friends to join in his class .

I find Rick is a very talented musician, is very patient and a good listener. His level of tuition takes you to the best of your ability and does not hold back in giving the technique materials needed. As a darbuka student I have learnt so much in a short time. With his pleasant manner and passion in teaching, I would highly recommend him to the people in my circle.

I am 10 years old and Rick has been my teacher for about 3 years. If you go to Rick with a song he will elaborate on the techniques and basics that you need to learn before you even start with the song. This makes the song easier to learn. Rick also explains the theory and basics which helps in not only learning a song but also to write your own.
Rick took the time to come down to my home a couple of times to jam with me and have a close look at my techniques like picking styles. He is really interested to see me develop and grow as a musician. He is not only a great teacher but also a friend.

Rick is a great teacher who has really helped me improved my skills in guitar. He has a fun an enthusiastic approach to teaching!

I have known and studied with Rick for years now and I always leave my lessons with him feeling like I have received more value then I expected. He is a consummate professional, kind teacher and a prodigic musician. His patience and intuitive teaching style rivals his incredible skill, talent and experience. I couldn't recommended this man any more then I currently do!

Rick is very inspiring and motivating. He has real passion for music and this shines through in his lessons. I have learnt so much in a very short time. He displays the true spirt of music this makes him an awesome guitar teacher. Iam looking forward to more lessons with him.

Couldn’t recommend Rick more, learned more in one hour with Rick than I did in several months of practicing alone. Very knowledgeable and excellent at spotting flaws in my technique and how to remedy them. Easy going and creates a pressure free learning environment for his students. Only regret is I didn’t start lessons with him sooner!
