Great Coach!

Kelly has been my teacher for a little over 1.5 years. With her coaching, my playing has improved dramatically. She does an excellent job of "reading" what I need to evolve my skills. Through a combination of focus on technique, feel and vocabulary development, she has put me on the path of playing lead guitar with an increasing degree of freedom. By no means have I "arrived," but I have absolutely have gotten better, and as a result, my role in the band has grown. If you are willing to do the work, she can get you there! She is positive, upbeat and effective. A pleasure to work with.

I have finally found a guitar teacher that gets me

Kelly is a fantastic guitar teacher and has been instrumental in my progression as a guitarist! She is a blues master and focuses on chunking concepts and songs down I can master all the small pieces to eventually play the full picture with ease. She's a teacher who I feel truly get's me and has as much excitement about the blues and guitar as I have. We have shifted practice and teaching styles throughout my lessons that better fit how I learn best, which has been a highlight and a hallmark of her great teaching and mentor skills.

Beyond Guitar Instruction!

At 50 years old, after playing guitar for most of my life without ever having any professional instruction, I was bumping into some roadblocks with my playing, songwriting & recording. I had met several incredible musicians over the years that were also experienced guitar instructors, but none of them seemed to understand what I was frustrated about. In December of 2021, I stumbled across a video of Kelly playing with Sherri McGee in their 2 piece band The Spear Shakers. In reading a bit about the band, I noticed that Kelly was also a guitar instructor, so I wrote to Kelly and shared a bit about my history and what I was currently working on. Kelly immediately messaged back and seemed to understand the issues I was bumping into as a result of being a self-taught guitar player, deeply set in my ways. After Kelly listened to some of my band’s releases, along with watching some video footage, she had some ideas on how to help. After only a few lessons together Kelly provided me tools to begin to unlock my own roadblocks, but in a way that was not disruptive to my existing playing style. I love that Kelly does not want to change who I am as a player. She is interested in me being able to better express myself in my own style. Moreover, I have found Kelly to be an incredible resource for so many other prereferral things related to guitar playing such as studio recording, live shows, fronting a band, etc-etc. There have been lessons in that we have not even discussed guitar playing because I have so many other questions. We spoke for an hour yesterday about setting up a new gig amp setup and pedalboard, after which she emailed me detailed information and web links about each component we discussed. I wish I had known Kelly 10 years ago, because all these things that I had discovered thru my own trial and error she already knows! Beyond all this, Kelly is simply a delightful person to talk with. A real person with real life experiences, that clearly has a gift for connecting with and helping other people. I am both humbled and thankful to have her instruction and insight.

Blues-Rock.Power

I really love Kelly Richeym's playing style, when she plays you can listen that she has strength and dynamics that is hard to find nowadays, plus she understands perfectly the idea of how to create Blues and Rock. The technique she has is very good, for her qualities and style she reminds you of great figures of Blues and Rock music, also for the feeling, the amount of resources and effects she uses makes her music excellent to listen to. The way she teaches is dynamic and understandable, which makes it easy to learn each of the things she explains.

Best Teacher I have ever had

I have been taking lessons with Kelly through the truefire site. I highly recommend her. I have a long way to go but I am on a great learning path with a great teacher. If you have a crazy work schedule like me, I recommend the truefire site with Kelly. Instead of just teaching you songs she teaches you the guitar which makes a big difference in your learning curve. I have tried local guitar teachers here where I live but they really don't care for you as a person but Kelly not only cares about you as a person but as one of her students she helps you to learn and to get on the right path. Since I have been taking lessons from Kelly, I cannot wait to get home and pick up my guitar now she really helps you understand the guitar.
