"learn to play the guitar - you'll have a friend for life"

rON tRUEHERZ

Ron began playing the guitar at age 7. George Harrison of the Beatles put the hook in him, and he began taking lessons that same year. By age 13, Ron was practicing several hours a day, and played in rock and roll bands throughout high school.
Ron went on to study guitar and composition at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. It was a great time - he was taught by Pat Metheny’s brother in one course, played guitar in a big band with 16 horns for another, and played in various rock and roll bands as lead guitarist around the Boston area. One of his bands toured with the Ramones, and another was the opener for Johnny Winter.
After Berklee, he taught students in Cambridge, Massachusetts in community school classrooms, and privately. After a long business career, he began teaching privately in2010, as well as playing in various
venues for events, and with several live bands in clubs. He has produced a CD, “My Passion”, available on Apple Music, and other CDs with other artists.
