Rick is an American musician, songwriter, producer and all round music genius who has a remarkably successful YouTube channel.

On this channel he explains and demonstrates a wide range of music related stuff, including the remarkable ‘What Makes This Song Great’ series where he takes a song apart and explains exactly how it’s constructed.

If you haven’t come across Rick before I urge you to check him out, irrespective of your music ability or tastes. I have to admit that he often leaves me scratching my head as he dives into the minutiae of music theory and practice but it’s always entertaining and informative.

He’s clearly an exceptional musician, which helps, but it’s his enthusiasm for all types of music has has me going back time and again to his channel.
