I came to Richard as a songwriter hoping to expand my knowledge of chord shapes and sequences, improve my guitar-playing technique, and increase my knowledge of music theory. Richard was fabulous in catering each lesson to my goals. I found that not only was he a highly experienced guitarist with a vast knowledge of music theory and expertise in every genre, but he was able to provided excellent creative input in my own songwriting. He is a fun and engaging instructor and I would recommend him to anyone, whether they are a beginner or an experienced guitarist.
