R.J. Ronquillo on SoundBetter

Credits range from RICKY MARTIN to STONE SOUR to SANTANA to 2PAC! Let me provide you with the same high quality, professional GUITAR work I've given to them. Whether it's EDM, Reggaeton, or 40's Delta Blues.....I got you covered!

I'm a professional studio guitarist based in Nashville, TN. My album credits include: Santana, Ricky Martin, 2Pac, DMX, Monica, and others. Additionally I have toured/performed with Stevie Wonder, Stone Sour, Chaka Khan, Ricky Martin, Thompson Square, and Prince protégé, Judith Hill) My studio gear includes: over 30 guitars (electric, acoustic, resonator); Fender, Vox, Marshall, Suhr, Swart, Morgan amplifiers; closets full of stompboxes; various dynamic, condenser, and ribbon microphones; UAD Apollo 8 Quad with tons of plugins, Logic Pro X software. I am pretty flexible as far as how many tracks I provide, and I tend to give you more than you need, just so you have options to play with. I can also make revisions as needed (up to 2x).

Endorse R.J. Ronquillo

    R.J. is a consummate musician/guitarist. The song I hired him for had a sort of rock/jazzy vibe. My friend Jeff Beck passed away this week. I played many shows opening for him since 1968. I am so upset I have no words. R.J. played beautiful breathtaking solos that just makes you think of Beck. That guitar solo made me cry. Unbelievable.

    Once again R.J. goes above and beyond. Mixing soaring leads with tasteful shredding and mixing genres and odd time signatures with aplomb

    R.J. Ronquillo is a superstar of YouTube. His product demos are always the best because his playing is stellar. He mixes your typical Chuck Berry double stops with gipsy jazz chromaticism, Hendrix with Eric Johnson. He never ceases to blow my mind and make me laugh at the same time.

    R.J. is an amazing player with a keen sense for melodic structure - he fully embraces the concept of 'playing for the song'. I know that when R.J. is on the job the song will be elevated to a new level. I HIGHLY recommend R.J. Ronquillo for your projects!

    RJ is more than a guitar player. He is a YouTube celebrity, and what is impressive about him is that he always puts 110% into everything he does. Whatever you ask of him, he always gives more. Outstanding. Five stars seems too little for someone of his scholarship and attention to detail.

    RJ in addition to being an extremely talented musician is also a consummate professional. He was able to give me exactly what I was asking for, plus a bit more.

    RJ is simply the best. It's not just that he has complete command of his instrument, which he does, but he hears inside the music and finds ways to support and enhance what is going on at any given moment. To top it off he does his homework and researchers other versions of the song and incorporates nods the best of the other riffs. Outstanding!

    RJ's parts are thoughtful and full of passion. He's laying back and letting the track breathe and then hammer comes down and he's hitting you with a tsunami of notes. Who could ask for more?

    The guitars are great, perfect RJ. It's exactly what I thought you would do but more and even better. The parts are superb.

    Everything RJ does is top notch. He lives and breathes music.He can shred with the best but what sets him apart is his taste and sensitivity

    R.J. has a melodic sensibility that really compliments the song. I've thrown him a few 'curve balls' and he knocks 'em out of the park every time. Mr. Ronquillo is truly one of the great players of our time - and he just so happens to be a complete joy to work with!

    Outstanding work from RJ, he provided me with awesome slide guitar tracks. Really nailed the sound and vibe of early blues records. Will definitely work with him again. Thanks RJ!
