"I like the singular cascade of notes on the guitar and the clean tone it yields to start up the intro.  I also like the tension being built up in certain chords, that serve to contradict the mood of others, and all are bright and resonant.  The chords are romantic, inquisitive, and even a bit bold and zesty.  Each note is as a fresh breeze of wind though, and each feels so new and invigorating.  In reality, the progressions have a heavy ethnic feel to them.  But, the song as a whole almost feels like uncharted territory.  Whether in Spain or Arabia, this song comes off incredibly emotive and sentient.  I like the progressions a lot.  I think the rhythm changes are quite spot on.  And the song has a good tempo that's very strong and steady, and the notes are very rich.  The bass line is just as rich as the melody line.  It has a cavernous feel.  And I like the hollow rush of air that fills the pockets of chords that are being dished out.  But, what I most like is that descension of notes as well as the ascension and the overall inquiry of the chord line.  I like the character this piece possesses.  It has both a heart and a rational mind, and the tempo is quite warm.  The rhythm changes are easy to see and follow and the song is made comprehensible to people who would otherwise not be able to understand the mechanics of the song.  I really do like the structure of the song.  No two progressions are alike and each set of chords adds one tweak or another.  Each on breathes new life into the bones of a song that could easily grow old with repetition.  The mood behind each chord intensifies and tension plays out with a serene mood.  Bits and pieces of darkness play out through the bass line and in the end, the piece is a melodic symbol of a struggle and a possible victory.  Its eloquence is never lost"

From a ReverbNation blind crowd review.

Welcome

Welcome to the official website of Rich Kullmann, guitarist, composer, and songwriter. 

Rich is a Classical/World guitarist.  Although he is deeply rooted in Rock and Metal, his current stylings of "World Music" are created from blends of Baroque and Spanish, with some Persian tonal qualities, combined with elements of Jazz and Rock. He is also currently working on a record of music for yoga and meditation as well as writing and performing in a plethora of styles.

"The guitar work is exquisite immediately.  I can tell this is real talent.  Really great way to reel me in.  This is just the kind of music I'd have playing after work or in the car after a noisy day or to set the mood for Mexican night.  Very well executed playing with no flaws.  Would actually pay money for this, truly.  Best song I've heard on here ever.  The rhythm is soothing and the tempo steady throughout.  Great song and great performance."

"Whoever the guitarist was in this melody was extremely expressive and well versed with this instrument like it was a second language.  You can feel the passion behind this performance.  I really enjoyed the different variety of sounds they accomplished simply using this one instrument.  I felt like the artist was telling an entire story using no words at all.  This melody was simply on guitar but the sound was so unique and complex.  I am thoroughly impressed.  This song was beautiful.  Production was good and clear.  I'd go to see this artist in concert.  I'l love to just watch.  I have to experience this in person."
