Meet the Business Owner

Rado R.

Business Owner

Rado is a professional guitarist, vocalist and teacher in the Bay Area. He has been teaching guitar since 1998 — over a decade and a half — first in Philadelphia PA and now in San Francisco.

As an artist, Rado has played in bands that opened for John Mayer, Beastie Boys, Dido, and Fountains of Wayne and others. And he has had spells playing with these CA favorites:

* Black Nature of Sierra Leone’s Refugees All-​Stars’

* CA Afro-​beat giants Albino!

* West African roots reggae crew Wontanara Revolution

* SF acoustic soul duo Lela Caro and Rado

* Funk quintet Cross Fade

Through his wide range of experiences, teachers and mentors, Rado has developed a strong sense of what works and what doesn’t for growing musicians. He brings all of this to bear in his lessons and has taken it upon himself to pass these insights and experience onto the many students he helps, year after year.
