Hi Everyone,

This is Ricco from Istanbul, Turkey.

I am a professional guitar instructor who also is playing in various stages with different bands currently.

I have a solid 10 years of guitar experience in all genres, from pop to rock & blues and so on. Besides playing electric guitar professionally with different bands, I am also giving professional hands-on guitar lessons for the guitar enthusiasts.

There is one major rule for my guitar lessons which is ALL LESSONS ARE IN ENGLISH !!!

This is why most of my students are either childrens of expats working in Istanbul or students studying in colleges and private schools whose official language is English.

If you are interested in learning how to play guitar (either classic, acoustic or electric), please feel free to get in touch with me.

After the first lesson If we both agree that we can move further, we shake hands and plan your progress together.

Lessons can be done either in your own flat or mine, but the price per lesson may vary accordingly. Students may also use my own guitars which can be seen in the photos, my amp and pedals.

Looking forward to hearing from you !!!

Ricco

I am a solo entertainer, who performs with guitar and piano. In my early ages i performed as a electro guitar player in the bands, after I performed on a big cruise ships as a solo entertainer. In my lessons I’m helping the people who likes to be a solo artist. In this process I’m teaching singing and playing at the same time with an any instrument that candidate choose.

Intro:
I will explain the structure of the guitar, basic playing techniques and correct hand positioning on the guitar. We will get to know each other and I will analyse your level of guitar skills, your musical taste and your goals in music.

Based on this analysis, we will be able to put together a personalised programme for your training.

The Path:
1.I will share with you useful exercises and show you how to do them properly.
2.Depending on your taste and level of technique, we will choose songs and learn them correctly under my supervision.
3.We will touch on music theory to the extent that suits your goals and in which you are willing to accept it.
4.We will learn to speak the language of music and learn how to improvise. We will learn songs by ear.
5.I will give small homework assignments that I will check at the beginning of the lessons.
You will receive all the tablature and materials you need.

Outro:
We will go from easy exercises and simple songs to complex solos and interesting improvisations, you will learn songs by ear. I will help you with your songwriting and prepare you for a concert and studio recording.

I would like to be your mentor, not just your teacher

Music, like all forms of art, is an activity closely connected to a person's life, emotions, thoughts, and psychology. Based on this foundation, music lessons are designed to enhance self-awareness and understanding abilities. These lessons can be conducted through instruments such as piano, guitar, solfège, and harmony. Essentially, these lessons prioritize "musical literacy." The main aim is to equip individuals with the ability to express themselves using the language of music and to understand what is expressed in musical notation as if it were a language. These lessons, designed with this purpose and foundation in mind, initially focus on grasping behavioral, imitative, empathetic, and semantic relationships through improvisation exercises. Subsequently, the aim is to complete the process by identifying the meanings embedded in musical notation.
