Freelance guitarist with 15 years of experience giving guitar and music theory lessons to beginner/intermediate students.

I 1st met Riley when he was jamming with James Robinson, a band I had followed for several years. I thought that he was a fantastic guitarist, especially being so young.
I had wanted to take guitar lessons for years but had never gotten the chance to do so. When I find out that Riley gave lessons and was willing to work with very inexperienced students I finally got the nerve to start taking lessons. That was the best decision I have ever made. Riley is extremely patient and has the ability to explain how to play in a unique way...it works!

Riley is awesome. He’s patient and super easy to work with. Has an array of experience to meet you where you’re at. I’m a fan

Riley was an amazing teacher. Working on both theory and improving he helped me feel more confident about my guitar playing

When I made the decision to learn guitar, I knew absolutely nothing and was wrapped up in all the things I could get wrong. Riley was patient, thoughtful, and made me excited to keep picking up the guitar and be beautifully messy. He is a well of knowledge with a passion for music, creation, and teaching. He has created a safe environment for experimenting and making mistakes. He inspires me every day to keep learning and trying new things. I couldn't recommend him more. If your goal is to learn guitar, start with Riley and you'll fall in love with it. He was the exact push I needed to reach my goals.

Great guitar teacher and guitar player! He covers so much in each lesson and helps beginners start regardless of how long they’ve been playing.

After struggling to learn guitar on my own I didn’t know what to expect when I booked my lesson with Riley but by the end of our first session he had me playing 100x better!! He was super helpful and insightful and made the lesson a blast in the process! Highly recommend him for any guitar lesson you might need!! 10/10

Riley is very knowledgeable and is very patient. He style of teaching is extremely thorough and I enjoy his fun & pleasant demeanor. Highly recommended!
