<> Private Instruction~Beginning~Intermediate~Advanced <> |||||||||| Welcome to my website. I am an experienced teacher who can help students launch and/or advance their creative process. I create 'personalized' programs of study for all levels of students. I am a native of Los Angeles and have taught locally, as well as abroad for the past 20 years. 25 students study privately with me at the present time. My approach to playing and teaching is dedicated to tone, articulation, and intonation, with a strong emphasis on deconstructing melodies and harmonies, in standard and altered tunings. Additionally I've devoted many years to the study of Dadgad tuning as well as finger-style and slide guitar. If you're writing songs we can enhance that process as well. I teach all levels and I've been successful with each of my student's interests. If you're a beginning student, you'll need an instrument that is easy to play, and you will also want to make a commitment in order to learn the following: > How to play basic chord shapes > Make chord changes > Study songs and tutorials specific to the guitar |||||||||| Teaching Schedule: Monday~Tuesday~Thursday~Saturday~Sunday I offer new students an initial 75 minute lesson for $50. After that there is a discount for each series of 3 lessons @ $50/hr. For further information or to reserve a time please contact me. Use either my email address or the 'Send me a message' link below. |||||||||| Remarks: "Splendid acoustic playing, combining cutting-edge finger-style technique with an East~West inflected slide guitar style." Jas Obrecht (Editor) | Guitar Player Magazine "A gifted musician and teacher." Chris Hillman "Richard creates beautiful audible emotion." Steve Vai "Peikoff has developed an extremely cool approach to solo fingerstyle guitar: informed by the tradition of the instrument, but with his own unique twists. He uses his thorough understanding of Indian Classical music, to expand the expressive palette of the guitar, and to create a sound that is rich with possibilities." Michael Manring "Highly Recommended." Fred Walecki/Owner | Westwood Music (Los Angeles family owned and operated premier pro-shop since 1944). |||||||||| Links below are for the following: > My Space > 2 Hours of Free Original Instrumental Guitar Performances: Solo | Duet | Ensemble. Featured Guests: Kit Walker & Michael Manring (Windham Hill) | John Keane (Crime Scene Investigation), | Jeff Miley (Code 3) | Paul Livingstone | Buzz Feiten. > Extensive Dadgad, Standard Tuning, & Altered Tuning Chord Tutorials {2500 chords} | Online tutorials and original pro chord charts can be found at the Acoustic Guitar Forum {AGF}. |||||||||| Contact: For more information about my teachers and influences go to Bio Part One or Bio Part Two, and click the link at the bottom of either page.
