Jon is an excellent teacher. In the past few months I have learned a number of essential jazz standards, my playing has improved considerably. He has challenged me, and offered guidance for me to suceed.

More than 40 years ago, I was a bad guitar player in a bad rock n' roll band. Then I stopped playeing completely until about 6 years ago when I started to take guitar less ons from Jon Rittmann. He gave me great finger exercises to get up some speed, had an excellent technique for quickly teaching me all the jazz chords, and began to teach me challenging but manageable arrangements of jazz standards, using tablature. I've also learned a considerable amount of music theory from him and my appreciation of music has grown by leaps and bounds. He has inspired me to practice, but with a light touch that lets me leave town on business for weeks at a time. His teacing studio is well equipped. As I've approached retirement, playing has become one of my greates sources of pleasure. He is not only my teacher, but my friend as will.

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.

Jon's positive encouragment and affable personality are an added bonus to his awesome background in guitar. I began lessons with Jon, this January, and love the challenges he offers me. I wasn't much more than a beginner (knew some basic chords) and now he's got me practicing scales and songs in a variety of genres: rock, jazz, spanish, and celtic. You can really "feel" the progress you're making as you go along. Jon's vast experience allows him to share all those "little tips" that make a "big difference."
