John Bell

John Bell is Richard's original guitar teacher. He has been giving guitar lessons at Richard's since 1973 and teaches guitar, bass, and non-pedal steel guitar. John has pioneered a teaching style that moves students away from music books and sight reading, and into playing by ear with songs that they have chosen. Students love this method as they get to choose the material that they will learn. John is also Richard's official music theory guru. Whenever we have a chord we can't name or some theory question, John is always able to come up with an answer. In addition to his guitar teaching career, he has been a professional musician for over 30 years.
