Ronny North
Ronny North plays his own
signature brand of instrumental guitar rock and is fast becoming a So Cal guitar hero. He won Best Male

Ronny played a few highly successful guitar clinics during the year at various Guitar Centers and also one at
Verde Valley Music in Cottonwood, Arizona. Ronny was also featured in their local paper, The Verde Valley

Ronny is also regularly sought out from music equipment manufacturers for his input on the development of new
products. On top of all that, he writes a couple of very popular monthly columns for Guitar Jam Daily Magazine
