Some Kind Words!

ELLIOTT RANDALL (Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, Asia, Loudon Wainwright III, Yoko Ono) : One *serious* guitarist

GEORGE MARINELLI (Bruce Hornsby and the Range, Bonnie Raitt) : In my wildest dreams, I couldn’t even think of the things he plays

LOU VOLPE (Herbie Mann, Bette Midler, Judy Collins, Harry Chapin) : Great tone and feel!

GODFREY TOWNSEND (John Entwistle, Alan Parsons, etc.) Ron is a regular Vai-Triani!

MARK BACINO (Indie pop music icon): Finally, the Maestro makes a stellar record for himself showcasing his talents on his own artistic terms.
"Being a musician is not a job...it's a calling. We all have it in us to do great things. The world needs heroes. Even guitar heroes. Real ones. One's who sacrifice. One's who show that ordinary people are capable of doing extraordinary actions. This is important. Now go practice." Ron Zabrocki
 


I am a guitarist, session guitarist, music producer and songwriter from NY.
I started playing at 6, sightreading right off the bat. That’s how I was taught, so I just believed everyone started that way! I could pretty much sight read anything within a few years, and that aided me in becoming a session guy later in life. I took lessons from anyone I could and was fortunate enough to have some wonderful instructors. I took some lessons with John Scofield, Joe Pass, and Alan DeMausse. The diversity of my teachers and influences only aided me in finding my voice on guitar. I do believe that a certain technical facility is as necessary as theoretical knowledge and emotional intensity. History is important too. Study the past. Learn where you came from. I do not believe in labels. I play guitar to play music. I cannot and wll not lock myself into labels. We have too many in this world as it is and it only cheapens and waters down what music is supposed to be. If I feel like playing a Standard or song from Deep Purple or Joe Pass, I can only play it my way. Music is an expression of who you are. Tough day when you learn that lesson! Just meet a hero and realize you will never be able to play like them. Nor should you. That is the moment you have to learn and accept who you are and lay that out for all to see, for better or worse, richer or poorer. Just try and be the best you that you can be and you'll play some great music. Because it will be yours.
My se​ssion work as a guitarist comes in from all over the world. My clients are literally found in the USA, INDIA, CHINA, ITALY, CANADA, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA and beyond. The styles and diversity are enormous. Could be a top selling Italian artist like Fausto Leali or the Olympics in Beijing, China. A Motorbike commercial in Brussels or a Beer commercial in Boston. Call anytime...I'm always awake!
