About
If you're looking for a teacher that provides results, check out the profile videos of my students and you can see a nice collection of my work.
Having a structured learning environment with a highly successful guitar teacher is the fastest way to get results that last, and are able to be integrated creatively. I have a very unique way of tracking results and providing students a clear path in learning the guitar/fretboard. My lessons are designed to be fun without sacrificing the educational factor. You can expect lessons tailored to your specific needs and wants. I can guarantee methods that no other teachers use.
Whether you're looking to make a career or just learn how to play some of your favorite songs as a hobby, I know exactly how to help students achieve these goals. It is very enjoyable for me to watch students start off with the "just for fun" mentality and then surprise themselves into a deep passion to study the guitar.

I appreciate how the lessons are part of a whole picture that can include playing guitar with other learners. Good system. Also, after 5 minutes Richard gave me a tip to get past the very low plateau I've been on with guitar for the last two years. I tried it at home and it worked.

I've been playing guitar for around 18 years and can confidently say that I was stuck in a rut until I started taking lessons with Richard. He's a great, passionate teacher with an encyclopedic knowledge of music theory. He knows the right way to explain difficult concepts so that people who don't know too much can begin to understand right away. Outside of the lessons, Richard provides great resources for his students to practice with at home, and also fosters a great community with his students between the open mics and twice-yearly concerts. I'd recommend Tuned In GuitarLessons to anyone who wants to get better at guitar, whether they're a beginner or someone who's been playing for years.

Absolutely fantastic place to learn how to play Guitar.You are given a free class to see how everything works and how he teaches you.If you do enjoy the way he teaches, then you can select days when you are taught depending on the class you choose.Classes are separated into beginner / advanced sections and you are gradually taught harder songs the more you stay while also being taught how to get over difficult parts of a song.If I compare myself to when I began around 7-8 months, the improvement I saw is absolutely insane.11/10, cant really recommend enough

I started taking lessons here about 5 weeks ago and have learned faster than I ever thought I would. I love that I am taught a variety of different and relevant songs that make me want to actually learn. Rich is a great teacher and has helped me improve tremendously in such a short amount of time. He makes learning super easy and fun. I would 100% recommend this place for anyone who wants to have fun and learn quickly on the guitar!

Ive been in Tuned in GuitarLessons for about 4 years now. The instructor, Richard is an amazing guy! Incredibly knowledgeable and super smart at the moment of teaching and understanding exactly what you need as a guitar player. Everything I know today is because of him. Theory, techniques, improv. He is a master improvising and seriously has been an amazing ride. He does two shows every year and they are a wonderful experience. In every show he is implementing more technology! Better sounding! I seriously recommend this school.
