“Ryan is a modern guitar virtuoso. Having been a former student of mine, I noticed even at his first lesson that he has “the gift” and he would be a great player if not one of “the greats”. Having an outstanding work ethic, a humble attitude, combined with his musical and physical abilities the sky is the limit for him.” – Derryl Gabel

“Fantastic compositions and brilliant playing! Bravo!” – Guitar genius David Tronzo
