Introduction
I have developed my own curriculum unlike any others I have seen. This is based on my study with multiple advanced instructors. Students not only learn to play but they "understand" how music works which makes them "fluent" at it. Seeing people succeed and helping people expand their enjoyment for music by playing and to share my passion for music which can be contagious. I want to see you accomplish more than you can on your own. It is difficult to find the time and motivation, so I will help you to accomplish your goals.

I am so lucky to have found Rick. I not only am learning songs, he is also teaching me the theory of music and how chords are formed. I am new to guitar, had my second lesson and can figure out most chords. He teaches the direction I'm interested in. I can't wait to see what he teaches me next. I have coworkers that have been playing the guitar for a long while and I already know more about notes, cordes and theory than they do. Now I just need to practice, practice, practice to be able to play as well as they do. And some day, I hope to be better. With Rick, I believe I will be, in time.

Rick understand my beginning level and challenged me to learn prelude in G Major as my first assignment which will test my focus and in my opinion, the willingness to learn.. I’m really excited to show that I’m dedicated to being taught…

Rick was exactly what I was looking for. I knew some chords, strumming, & some other basics before meeting him but, in just the few weeks I’ve been working with him, I feel like I already have a way better understanding of music than I ever had. I look forward to many more lessons with him. Great & personable guy.

After many years of not playing guitar I decided to play again. My brother, who was a professional drummer, always use to tease me about not "really" playing guitar since I didn't know a thing about notes and scales and musical notations. So in honor of my late brother I decided to learn. I selected Rick Taylor. I have learned so much from him that it is amazing. Patience should be his nickname, because he is always encouraging and upbeat. The part which I admire about him is his ability to play any genre. I happen to like folk, so our song to learn is going to be a folk number. Now that is taking a teachable moment to reality. I would strongly recommend him. He loves to inspire his students along with sharing his many musical talents. Not everyone can teach what they know, but Rick can. Thanks Thumbtack.
