Live Video Lessons with Ry
From YouTube lessons to instructional content on Instagram, the internet has a wealth of resources for aspiring, self-taught guitarists.
But, learning exclusively by these methods can leave you a little confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated.
There’s no one there to give you feedback on your playing and technique, or anyone whom you can bounce ideas off or simply ask questions.
I have been teaching guitar since 2010 and I’d like to help you in your guitar journey.
As a student, I myself have taken online video lessons and I understand how nerve-wracking they can be. You worry that you’re not good enough or that you won’t play as well during the lesson as you do on your own.
Know that it’s normal to feel like that. Know too that I want my Zoom guitar lessons to be a relaxed environment where you are free to ask me anything and feel confident and reinvigorated in your guitar practice.
I want to help you grow as a guitarist!
The Lessons
These lessons are led by you and your playing goals. Typical topics covered include:
Learning songs I love to teach technique and theory through the songs you want to play!
Music Theory and its practical applications for the guitar - keys, scales, chord construction. All that good stuff!
Learning the Fretboard with my visualization techniques and exercises.
General Technique specifically exercises to help you develop whatever area of technique you are interested in.
Ear Training and Transcribing if you’re looking to get into developing your ear and creating your own TABs
If there’s anything else that you’re interested in studying with me, you can simply fill out the form below or email me to see if that’s something I can help you with.
How Can I Sign Up?
I’ve recently taken my live teaching onto the teaching platform, Til.
My lesson page can be found here - https://www.til.co/rynaylor/lessons
Once you sign up you’ll be added to a chat with me. This chat is the home for your lessons - it’s where you’ll go to join video chats, watch lesson recordings, ask questions, share practice videos, or download lesson resources.
When it’s time for a lesson, you’ll join directly on Til.
The recording from class is posted in your chat immediately after your lesson ends, so you can practice all week to improve your playing. If you have questions between lessons or want to share a practice video, just post it in the chat!
Every lesson is recorded and they never expire. This is helpful for practice and watching what you missed, and is a huge advantage of learning on Til versus in-person.
Til offers free rescheduling or cancellation at least 24 hours before your lesson.

Students Say…
“As a guitar student, and hopefully future guitar teacher, I feel that Ry is an exceptional guitar teacher. His patience and friendly demeanor created a comfortable learning environment that put me at ease from the very beginning. He understands that everyone learns at a different pace and tailors his lessons accordingly, making sure his students feel comfortable and never overwhelmed.
If you’re looking for someone to help you improve, I highly recommend Ry as your new guitar teacher. His patience, comfortable learning environment, slow and steady pace, and thorough educational materials make him an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their guitar skills.”
““I have been learning guitar with Ry for a few years now and I would not go anywhere else for my lessons. He makes music theory interesting and accessible, is extremely knowledgeable and most of all, is constantly improving his knowledge to help his students.
I have seen myself grow as a guitarist and it has been a pleasure to discover new songs, new styles of music and be given the tools to compose my own music. I would encourage anyone to book a lesson with him. He is personable and makes sure the lesson is centered around what the student wants to achieve.
The one thing that truly makes him the best guitar teacher out there is the passion and care he puts into his work - it shines through in every lesson.” ”
“I would highly recommend Ry as a guitar instructor to anyone looking to improve skills at any playing level. For myself as a late beginner / early intermediate player, Ry has quickly improved my playing and greatly expanded my knowledge. I particularly like Ry’s ability to go slow enough for me to “really understand” new concepts and music theory and his methodical approach that keeps lessons focused and in a logical sequence.
My lessons with Ry have helped me better understand the CAGED system, fretboard fluency, the circle of 5th’s and much more and how to apply these musically, not just the theory. These are the building blocks of knowledge I know are important to my longer term aspirations of becoming a “musician”, not just a player and being able to improvise and adapt when playing with others.
Lastly, Ry’s guitar education materials are an added benefit that gives me related material to work on between lessons or further explore concepts I learn during lessons. ”
