ABOUT ME
Hello my name is Richard Kain owner and developer of RK GUITAR WORKS. I am a classically trained musician and guitarist amateur who evolved into a player attempting and at times successfully capturing the essence of the pieces that I practiced.
Many moons ago, I studied Music Theory, Composition and Classical Guitar at Florida State University under the great John Boda, Bruce Holtzmans school of guitar with the likes of guests guitarist Oscar Ghiglia, Manuel Barrueco, Elliot Fiske to name a few and then to hear up close and personal the great Spanish Harpist Nicanor Zabaleta. From the University of Tampa Master Mark Switzer. I have performed at small venues, art galleries, restaurants, private hearings, and with friends engulfed.
This majestic language of sound is so much more than commercial endeavors. It is a language all in and by itself. The natural mastery of sound and tone by nature has given us its sensual breezes through the great Douglass Firs, to the recurring sounds of waves or the simple chirp from a finch. These are some of the many many many gifts we have been gifted so as to comprehend and learn. It has given many of us a gift of love from their Muse.
Because of my classical guitar training, I have not shied away from trying to play into the massive repertoire of Spanish and Latin American guitar. The dances and their rhythms have fascinated me since git go. With Agustin Barrios Mangore` and Antonio Lauro among others I have had the fortune to explore and been able to play a few of their works. Among others.
