Experienced tutor in Guitar in Pittsburgh, Ryan offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I’ve been taking lessons with Ryan for about 10+ years. He approaches teaching from a basic beginner perspective and step by step guides you through. I can hear his guitar and his instructions clearly online and he’s good with knowing where your at on the fret board to point out any mistakes or shapes that can accommodate your learning. He super friendly, patient, funny and develops great rapport.

Ryan is hands down the most knowledgeable musician that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing in person. Moreso to his credit, Ryan has the uncanny ability to relay that knowledge to the layperson in a way that creates "Ah-Ha" moments week after week. I've been playing music for 26 years and I've learned more in the last year while working with Ryan than I have in the previous 25 on my own. As a proud father of three wonderful boys and a music teacher at the most revered performing arts school in Pittsburgh, Ryan has the patience and perspective to be able to work with and nurture the love of music in anyone at any age. He's inspired me to listen to music and love it in a completely different way than I had before. He takes the confusing complexities of music and makes them comprehensive and fun. He's my Mr. Miyagi and he will turn that paint brush into a Crane Kick, you just got to stay the course and trust his process. If you're willing to put in the work, Ryan WILL get you to your goals.

Ryan's vast knowledge and patience as a teacher make every lesson fun and educational. I've improved tremendously since I started working with Ryan, and have loved every minute of learning.
