I have been playing guitar off and on for over 30 years. Most recently while living in Chicago for a year I was re-inspired and took several different guitar classes. When I returned to Tucson I wanted to continue with lessons and I found Jon. Quite honestly, his knowledge of theory and technique, and his methods for conveying those, are awesome. Finally I have found someone to give me the tools and knowledge I needed to tie together all those loose ends I had floating around with theory and playing - both rhythm and lead. Jon is an excellent instructor and I would recommend him to anyone of any skill level. He has the utmost patience and a great attitude toward teaching - he makes it fun!

I first met Jon in 1987 when I began taking lessons at the age of 11. Jon's skill level is unmatched, but that didn't affect his ability to work with true beginners. 20 years later, after moving all over, I came back to Tucson and back to Jon. His 40/30/30 focus split between technique / drilling, theory and "requests" (teaching you a song or riff of your choice - Jon has personally tabbed thousands of songs from every guitar applicable genre). For young students, this guarantees continued interest (nothing beats playing your favorite songs and playing them right). All the while moving forward with technique and theory. Of course, this ratio is tailor-made to the student's goals. I cannot recommend Jon Rittmann more that I already have to many guitarists. He is a true guitar artist with passion for pushing the limit, even at his level... which is 11.

This man is not only an amazing guitar player, but a great musician, and a really cool laid back guy. While most guitar teachers I've had have been condescending, and had this certain offsetting attitude about them, Jon has none of that. He takes you as you are, and is very humble and down to earth. If you have a favorite guitarist or musician in mind, Jon can teach you close to every single song and technique about that guitarist, with his huge library of hand crafted, accurate, by-ear tabs. Every little nuance, down to the last minuscule bend. He changed my way of thinking not only about guitar, but music as a whole. Go in with an open mind, and a willingness to learn, and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Jon is a great music teacher and a great player. I have been taking bass and guitar lessons from Jon for over a year now, and I continue to be totally impressed by his playing and his ability to take his enthusiasm for music and transmit it to others. He is a good-natured guy with a relaxed, easygoing approach to teaching. His ability to break down a song that you want to learn, even if he is not that familiar with the song, learn it and play it note for note just like the recording, transcribe it into tab form, and teach you that song right there and then in a matter of 20-30 minutes is an amazing thing to witness. Just ask him to play the solo from Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb, and you will be blown away--guaranteed. He will nail the solo, and then show you how to play it! Unfortunately, I have had to take a couple of months off from taking lessons from Jon because of my work, but I am really looking forward to resuming my lessons with him. I really am missing the weekly lessons, which have come to be an important part of my weekly routine, and I look forward to getting back to it! It's a very fun experience to learn to play so many great songs in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
