Hi R.J. Wanted to say good luck with your new adventures, but also, your tour vlogs are some of the best I've seen on youtube. It really makes your channel stand out from all the other gear demo-channels. So I'm hoping there will be more in the future. T.

Dude your Musician ship is SO Solid, i love the lines you draw in your demo videos and an RJ Ronquillo Solo Project would be cool. But you gotta do what makes you full. SO god bless and im looking forward to see where the road takes you . Peace

KZfaq/Touring is a really hard balance. I think RJ did it well. I'm still in the thick of it but definitely feel the intensity of trying to balance the two.

The tour vlogs were always a treat and much appreciated! Honestly, as a one man operation - doing all aspects of the vlogs, it’s amazing that you were able to provide the great level of production and hold down any kind of job besides that. I look forward to whatever you share with us from here and wish you well, Hopefully you’ll even find more 2 wheel therapy time too. Peace and love from N.Y.

Man I can't thank you enough for sharing the inside life of the touring musician. I really looked forward to these because as a guy who grew up in the 80s, even though I ended up behind a big desk, it was always my dream to be onstage. It was awesome, One Professional to another, to see how it all works. It has been a pleasure and I can't wait to see what you bring us next my man. Congratulations and good luck in the future.

Hard and big decision RJ. It must be exhausting to balance both KZfaq gear/demos/lessons and tour blogging! And also must have been hard to tell your tour family you were quitting. For me it's been such an inspiring experience to watch you tour the US and Europe so a big THANK YOU for sharing that part of your life with the world 🤗And for what comes next I'm looking forward for whatever you'd like to share with open arms, to continue learning and having fun with RJ's Guitarama! Best wishes from Spain and thanks as always for sharing quality content, musical knowledge and self experience with a little touch of humor 😊👌🏾👌🏾🎸

I've seen guys make these kind of vids before but it's always like "I'm quitting my job at Guitar Center to make more content!" but holy crap you are the real deal touring with actual drawing acts. Interesting and BALLSY choice, but your channel and you as a player was my favorite YT discovery in 2018, and I have damn good taste so I'm sure you will do great in this new path!

These tour vlogs are my favorite videos on KZfaq. I can’t thank you enough for sharing these. I’m sad to see them stop, but I’ll support anything you do and I know a lot of us random avatars out here in KZfaq land feel the same way. I think what makes these tour vlogs so special is that we get to know a little bit of YOU and share in your personality. We can’t always get that with gear demos. Hopefully you can work more of yourself into your future videos! You are the best.

@atlantaguitar9689 5 жыл бұрын

I always had to detach from others before a show. Had to have time to recenter and relax. With younger bands that's a no-no since there is pressure to hang out, make jokes to calm nerves etc but as you get older, personal head space is more important even if it's just a couple of hours per day. I also noticed that when I was alone at the hotel or at the venue someone would inevitably ask me if I was available for an upcoming tour or recording engagement. Now that wouldn't happen if I'm hanging out with the guys all the time.

@augustdaye2746 5 жыл бұрын

I don't know what is more impressive, your talent or your work ethic. Whatever you do, those two things will see you through. Will miss your touring blogs... It's a side of music I never really thought about much - the lone traveling session player. A man without a band... but a plan.
