Ryan G.

I’m a guitarist based in Central Florida with over 20 years of playing experience. I’ve performed in professional bands, written and produced a musical for the Orlando Fringe Festival, and continue to dedicate serious time to developing my craft. I’ve studied through programs like Sonora and have attended multiple guitar camps — including several years at the Tommy Emmanuel Guitar Camp in Nashville — where I had the opportunity to study directly with world-class players. Those experiences deeply shaped my approach to technique, tone, and musicality. I believe great players stay students, and I continue to invest in my growth every year. My background spans fingerstyle, flatpicking, rock, blues, and practical music theory — and I enjoy helping students connect technique with musical understanding. I began teaching in my teens and have recently returned to working with private students. Teaching keeps me sharp, clear, and practical — and I genuinely enjoy helping players grow. My Approach: I focus on helping students understand what they’re playing — not just memorize shapes. Whether you’re a beginner learning your first chords or an intermediate player looking to break through, I’ll help you: *Build clean, efficient technique *Understand the fretboard *Improve timing and feel *Learn songs you actually want to play *Apply music theory in usable ways Each lesson is structured around your goals, and you’ll leave with something concrete you can immediately use.
