Accepted into UGA’s Guitar Program

“In under a year, Jonathan has helped me elevate my technique and musicality to heights I couldn’t of imagined. If you’re interested in developing classical guitar technique, whether it’s to better yourself as a musician, or just to learn fundamentals of an under-appreciated art, Jonathan is the man. Seriously, I can’t believe how much I have developed, I am playing pieces that I never thought I could, and for that I am ever grateful.”

– Dashiell Sisson, Advanced Student

Hi Fellow Guitarist,

Learning classical guitar can sometimes feel like trying to solve a puzzle without all the pieces. With the complexity of reading sheet music, precise finger positioning, and the challenge of making your guitar truly sing, it’s no wonder you might feel a little stuck.

Maybe you’ve been practicing for hours but aren’t seeing the progress you hoped for. Or perhaps you’ve picked up a beautiful piece by Tárrega or Bach, but it just doesn’t sound the way you imagined.

I’ve been there too.

Here’s what I’ve come to realize: nobody is born playing the classical guitar flawlessly. It’s a skill that takes time, practice, and the right kind of guidance. It’s not about raw talent, but rather having a roadmap and the patience to follow it.

Guidance to Help You Reach Your Full Guitar Potential

That’s where I come in. Since 2014, I’ve had the joy of helping guitarists just like you master the classical guitar.

Through one-on-one lessons and, now, through comprehensive online courses, I’ve worked with students to tackle their biggest challenges. Together, we’ve unearthed hidden potential, and celebrated huge milestones—like nailing dream auditions and performing with newfound confidence.

But here’s the thing: whether you’re a beginner or you’ve been playing for years, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Your Classical Guitar Journey Starts Here

That’s why I’ve created courses like Guitar Foundations and 30-Day Guitar Chord Fluency (Coming Soon!), designed to be your personal roadmap. These courses are packed with everything you need to take your playing to the next level—whether you’re building a strong foundation or perfecting your technique.

Imagine sitting down with your guitar, feeling confident that you know exactly what to work on. Imagine the satisfaction of watching your hands move effortlessly across the fretboard, playing the music you’ve always dreamed of.

Picture the smile on your face—and the looks of surprise on your friends and family’s faces—when they hear you play and ask, “Where did you learn to play guitar like that?!”

The truth is, mastering classical guitar is within your reach. All it takes is the right approach, and that’s exactly what I’m offering.

You deserve to love the way you play and enjoy the process of getting there. Start by investing in yourself with a course that will give you the structure, guidance, and confidence to improve—on your own time, at your own pace.

I can’t wait to see where this journey takes you. 🎵

Looking forward to hearing your progress,
Jonathan

Comfortable With The Basics Within Weeks

“I’m an adult learning to play classical guitar and I could not be happier with Jonathan Richter. After just a few weeks of classical guitar lessons I was playing a beautiful piece by Aguado, which helped me keep my momentum and enthusiasm to continue. Jonathan is very proactive and quickly diagnoses where I’m struggling, giving me steady encouragement and generating custom exercises to help me get over my hurdles.”

From Etudes to Bach in Less Than 3 Months

“I’ve been taking classical guitar lessons from Jonathan for 5 months and am absolutely loving it! Jonathan is a gifted and passionate classical guitar player who brings both patience and enthusiasm to his teaching.

I came back to guitar after decades of playing sporadically and it showed. I lacked confidence in my playing abilities. Jonathan worked with me and within a few lessons, had me diving into the deep end, challenging me with pieces that I never thought I would play. He’s inspired me to actually practice and improve my playing beyond what I thought I was capable of.”
