The guitar he used to record all his hits was (originally) a bronze Harmony H44 stratatone. Ritchie had painted it in his High School wood shop class using Chrysler forest green paint. the guitar used on the winter dance party was a stratocaster vintage sunburst given to him by Fender for the tour. I'm not sure about his others.
Family members taught him at the age 11
Guitar His main instrument is the guitar (which he started playing at 14) but prior to that he played the accordion. he can also play piano saxophone trumpet
