ABOUT RAY SUHY

I have been teaching guitar for over 25 years. I started teaching almost as soon as I began playing as I wanted to make music with my friends. I grew up playing classic rock and metal and gravitated towards jazz in my teen years. I attended Berklee College Of Music and The New School Jazz Program. I also studied jazz improvisation and theory privately with Charlie Banacos for 10 years. I currently tour and record with the band Six Feet Under (Metal Blade Records) as well as other various projects in various genres.
