RYAN'S GUITAR PAGE

Hi, I’m Ryan...welcome to my web page!

I began playing guitar when I was about 8 years old. And I’ve been at it ever since.

My favorite musical styles are rock blues
and jazz.

My influences include Eric Clapton,
Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix,
Robert Johnson, Son House, Hubert Sumlin,
Jimmy Page, Joe Satriani, Warren Haynes, Davy Knowles, Jeff Beck and Santana.

My all-time favorite bands are The Beatles, Cream and Led Zeppelin.

I’ve been lucky enough to meet some of my musical heroes - Warren Haynes,
Les Paul, Joe Satriani, Slash and Steve Winwood.

I’ve also had a chance to spend time with my favorite blues guitar player, Davy Knowles. He has really inspired me to improve my playing and song writing. Davy is so talented and just the coolest person on the planet. His new cd is great.

With enough practice hopefully someday I will write and play great music like these guys.

songs at Carnegie Hall for a Red Cross
benefit concert.

Still trying to set up the perfect

Not sure I want to be a rock star.
I’d rather be known as just a really
great musician.

And yeah I know I have a long way
to go!

Of course I wouldn’t mind some rock star
cars and houses ha!

At least I know I’ll always play music.
