Ryan O.

Hey I’m Ryan, a passionate musician and instructor with a strong rhythmic foundation and a modern approach to guitar. I began my musical journey at the age of 10 playing drums, which gave me a deep understanding of timing, groove, and musical dynamics. In 2020, I expanded into guitar, quickly developing a strong connection to the instrument and a love for teaching it to others. I was born in Olympia, Washington in December of 2000 and raised in Dallas, Texas, where I was influenced by a wide range of musical styles and scenes. My background as a drummer allows me to help students not only learn chords and songs, but also understand rhythm, feel, and how to play confidently with other musicians. As an instructor, I focus on making lessons engaging, supportive, and tailored to each student’s goals—whether they’re picking up a guitar for the first time or looking to improve their timing, technique, and musicality
