About
While some guitar teachers take a "one-size-fits-all" approach, I create custom lesson plans for each of my students. That way, they learn the things they want to learn, without missing out on important fundamentals. I really love seeing my students grow into great musicians. That look of excitement on their faces when they master a tricky riff or finally "get" music theory is the best.

Learning from rick has been great. As a beginner adult with a full time job life can get busy. Rick helps me to stay on track and motivates me to keep learning. He attentive and detailed. I look forward to my weekly lessons. It's worth the drive across town. Thanks rick!

Rick is a great guitar teacher! He is positive and encouraging. Also, prompt and organized. My 12 year old son is learning to read music and has made great progress as a beginner, we highly recommend Rick!

After reading all the other glowing reviews that Rick has received over the years/months/weeks, I can personally vouch for them. Whether you're an adult picking up a guitar for the first time or already an intermediate or advanced student, Rick's combination of knowledge, ability and patience will elevate your playing - No doubt!Even with my questionable musical talent, I feel and hear myself getting better with each lesson. Whether its reminding me to play closer to the frets or demonstrating how to put some swing into the alternate picking exercises, Rick has elevated my playing. He can do the same for you no matter your age.So if you're in the Portland area, heck, with the pandemic - anywhere with an internet connection, you owe it to yourself to check out Learn Guitar PDX if you want to further your guitar journey!

I can't say enough about Rick and Learn Guitar PDX. After not playing the guitar for over 15 years, I really wanted to get back to playing but was having a hard time getting started. After my first lesson with Rick I felt very comfortable and confident that he could get me playing again. I've been learning so much and am playing better than I ever have, I'm so happy to be working with Rick and Learn Guitar PDX!

My 8 yr old had been playing guitar for two years prior to meeting Rick. Her skills and enthusiasm for playing has skyrocketed. She explained to me that "Rick teaches in a way that is easy for me to understand." He's patient and funny, my daughter adores him. We can't recommend him enough.
