Richard Morse

Guitarist, Bassist, Vocalist & Tutor

I began playing guitar in the late 80s and started gigging in the early 90s in an originals band, culminating in playing venues such as The Marquee Club and Rock Garden in London.

Over the years I’ve found myself in many varied guitar playing situations. From acoustic duos to function bands.

My main live outlet for the last 20 or so years is Think Floyd, the UK’s definitive Pink Floyd tribute act, playing dozens of shows a year in UK theatres and across Europe including some festivals.

My musical and guitar-playing influences are varied and include: Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jeff Beck, The Police, Led Zeppelin, Free, Steve Hackett, Yes, Joe Satriani, Van Halen, John Schofield, Eric Johnson, Albert Lee, Brad Paisley, Larry Carlton, Rush, John Martyn, Nick Drake, Radiohead, Paul Gilbert, Gary Moore, Camel, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Stevie Wonder, Allan Holdsworth, Deep Purple, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Brian Setzer and Miles Davis. To name but a few!

I teach guitar (acoustic, electric and bass guitars) in a wide range of styles from classic rock and blues, modern rock and metal to acoustic finger style and country to contemporary pop, funk and classical.

Guitar lessons are in central Sevenoaks and mainly Monday to Thursday to allow for my gig schedule.

It is my aim for my students to become as rounded and confident a musician and guitarist as possible.

What my students say

  • Steve S

    I thought you would like to know Theo got a distinction star for his A level music. Many thanks for all you have done.

  • David H

    The challenges of barre chords and palm muting keep me awake at night and my ongoing inability to master them are enough to send anybody bonkers.

    I have found Richard to be the perfect combination of a calm and understanding guitar teacher mixed with a very talented rock star. I am very pleased to have stumbled across Richard—he comes highly recommended.

  • Andy V

    Richard has been teaching me for several years. He has sympathetically dealt with my lack of natural musical ability, taking me systematically through the basics of electric and acoustic guitar playing. Richard’s lessons are relaxed and friendly. I particularly like the way he always finds suitable examples of my kind of music to demonstrate his points and for me then to tackle. I continue to much enjoy and benefit from our lessons.

  • Susan L

    I have known Richard Morse for over 15 years as guitar teacher for my two sons and would not hesitate to recommend him.

    His attitude to his pupils, experience and expertise, general manner and charming personality, all contribute to his well-deserved, excellent reputation.

  • Andy & Jo M

    Jo and I wanted to say a big thank you for being a great guitar teacher for Leo. He has thrived under your teaching. We’ll make sure we get plenty of practice in over the summer holidays ready for the next school year.

  • Will B

    Dear Mr Morse thank you for being the best guitar teacher I could have asked for. I learn a lot in your lessons and I will always play the guitar because you’ve given me such a great head start. I really enjoy your lessons and think it’s really cool that I get to learn with a professional musician.
