RJ Jacinto and his guitar gizmos

Ramon Jacinto has thoroughly mastered the guitar.

- BABY A. GIL

I do not mean just musically as a performer and quite a dedicated one. He has been making music with the guitar for over 60 years. He does have an arresting guitar sound that is all his own. Best of all, he has also technically and technologically taken on the ups and downs, ABCs, everything about the instrument.

RJ started out as the little boy who did not want to take his music lessons seriously because he only wanted to play tunes on his guitar. You know, as a kid growing up during the 60s, these were music like those made by The Ventures or The Shadows. Maybe he also tried out the sounds of Al Caiola and Duane Eddy.

As the years went by, his mastery of the guitar grew by the proverbial leaps and bounds. Not just as the frontman of his band, The Riots, but also as an instrumentalist proficient in various genres but as somebody who wanted to input his own ideas to better and make the instrument accessible to everybody.
