A little about Rikki.
Rikki Lee is a highly respected guitarist and educator with real pedigree in the UK pop music industry. She has performed and worked as a session guitarist alongside artists including PinkPantheress, JADE, Rita Ora and Fleur East, and has collaborated with leading music brands such as Fender, D'Addario and Focusrite — a testament to both her musicianship and her reputation as a professional.
As a teacher, Rikki has worked with students of all ages and abilities, from complete beginners picking up the guitar for the very first time to more advanced players looking to develop their technique and confidence. Her lessons are supportive, engaging and tailored to each individual, making sure every student feels motivated, inspired and genuinely excited to improve.
Serving students in and around Colindale.
Rikki's home studio is tucked away in a quiet conservation area in North West London, creating a relaxed and focused environment that's perfect for getting the most out of every lesson. The studio is fully equipped with everything you could need for a brilliant learning experience, including a range of guitars, amps, pedals and recording equipment.
The studio sits conveniently between Kingsbury station (Jubilee line) and Colindale station (Northern line), both around a 15–20 minute walk away. Nearby bus routes include the 204, 83, 183 and 324, so getting here by public transport is nice and straightforward. If you're travelling by car, roadside parking is available right outside with no permit required — and parents can drop off and pick up their children directly at the door.
Expert tutoring and structure make anything possible! 🎉
Rikki combines her own experience and skill with our hand crafted course material and write up tools, to offer the complete learning experience. Our course material works in a very specific way that guarantees success. We teach you a new technique, skill or piece of theory via the course material, then as you improve in that we apply it to real world songs.
Plus, after the lesson you can find your material, notes and feedback live in your login area, direct from Rikki, so you don’t miss a beat! Ther means you get the understanding of what you are doing, the ability to do it, and the fun of playing the songs you love! What could be better?
Lesson notes Tuesday 10th March
Great work today Jen, you absolutely smashed those chord changes! You've now completed the second lesson of our course. 🎉
So, this week I want you to continue working with this spider exercise, but now that you have the hang of it, try to do it at 70BPM, as we did in the lesson. Here's the tab as a reminder for you:
As well as that, with your 3 chords, I want you to try this slightly altered strumming pattern, once again alongside the beat that we were practising to.
Best of luck with your practice, Jen, and if you have any questions at all, just reach out and let me know.
See you next week, Rikki.
