I've been playing guitar off and on for roughly 25 years, but never made it past that initial plateau between being able to play a song and actually be able to play along with people. Patrick has been able to fairly easily pinpoint my weaknesses, but also help me rewire my brain to think differently to correct them. Patrick's way of teaching focuses on solidifying your foundation and the way your brain thinks musically, over just trying to get you to memorize theory and concepts. Music is something natural to people, and Patrick wants you to focus on the natural feeling of music and not necessarily overthink the rules. I and others have noticed a significant improvement with my playing in just the few months I've been working with Patrick. Patrick has also been incredibly accommodating and been willing to come to me and adjust to my schedule without issue which I really appreciate. If you're a new player, or that self conscious self taught player that has never figured out what they were missing, Patrick is absolutely the teacher for you.

About Pat Rick’s Guitar Tricks
I’m an award winning, multiple billboard charting musician who unlearned bad methodology then relearned how music really works, and I’m here to pass that knowledge on to anyone and everyone who wants to learn, at any level! If you’ve ever heard the phrase “you either have it or you don’t” but didn’t know what “it” is, then you’re in luck. I have over a decade of experience teaching and performing, and not only do I know exactly what “it” is, but I know how to teach it. If you’ve tried learning on your own but didn’t know how to start, made some progress but felt like you were missing something crucial, or if you’ve done everything that previous teachers told you but felt like you weren’t experiencing real self expression, then I’m the teacher you’ve been looking for
Reviews
Best professional you can hire no doubt, his ways of teaching just hits different in a really good way, snd you will start to feel the music as it should be. Thanks Pat!
Pat has been enormously helpful in advancing my guitar playing skill. His experience and patience has been very apparent from the start. Highly recommend
I really recommend Patrick to whoever likes to learn about Guitar. He's very punctual and cares about his quality of work. he's been adding more interest to my eight-year-old son to learn about Guitar. He's a real professional guitar instructor and knows how to motivate a child to play guitar and he can even improve his hidden talents about the guitar. We are very pleased with Patrick's grateful, passionate, and dedicated way of teaching guitar to my son.
I am finally learning how to play my guitar thanks to Pat and his methods of teaching. I had in the past tried you tube lessons, chord buddy and various “Learn To Play Guitar” books which had left me frustrated. Pat is an excellent teacher and musician. He has his own band, which by the way, recently released their own album and are on tour. What better way than to learn from an accomplished musician that teaches methods of learning the guitar that makes it easy to understand without all the frustration. I would definitely recommend Pat. You won’t regret it
Pat is a great teacher who is able to identify what gaps I have in my knowledge, and he customizes the lessons and exercises to my needs. He has helped me with everything from chords to theory to songwriting to ear training. He’s been helpful, honest, and on time. Will be going back to him in the future.
Pat is fantastic, his approach brings you to truly understand music, not just memorize songs. (Which is what everyone wants, right?) I feel very lucky to be learning from Pat, I have grown tremendously as a guitar player and musician thanks to his teaching. He explains complicated concepts in a way that makes sense and he gives clear and easily actionable feedback. Pat has an impressive ability to identify specific areas of improvement, and even notices when I do things correctly but second guess myself. I cannot recommend Pat enough for someone at any level of play. He is also an incredible musician — you definitely want to learn from someone you would be happy sounding like one day!
Wasn’t happy with my first guitar instructor and found Pat on Thumbtack. After reading his profile and hearing his cd, i was sold. He doesn’t just look like a rock star, he really is one. My lessons are fun and Pat has a clear direction for your learning process. Im confident he will get me to become the player I always wanted to be.
Pat is more of a mentor than a teacher. Extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and has a gift for effectively customizing his approach for the student. Also: he’s a truly gifted guitar player. Highly recommended!!
Pat was prepared, on-time, thoughtful, and FUN guitar instructor for my 11 year old. Highly recommend!
