Welcome to Guitar Development Global Arts (G.D.G.A.), my private Skool Academy for musicians who want transformation, not cookie-cutter lessons. Founded by me, Gary Dranow, G.D.G.A. is a global hub where driven players master Blues and Rock guitar with training that builds tone, feel, phrasing, riffs, and stage-ready lead work.
You’ll learn from world-class artists: Chris Zoupa (Melbourne) guiding Bass Guitar; Larry Dvoskin, NYU Professor of Songwriting for 20 years, showing how to craft songs that breathe and connect; and Klym Apalkov, Master’s in Composition from the University of Ukraine, expanding your melodic and structural power. Our Bass School is led by Andy Evans, a true bass extraordinaire, helping you become the groove and heartbeat of any band.
We’re growing fast—Jazz Guitar, Drums, Percussion, and Voice arrive in the coming months. If you’re ready to sharpen your skills, find your sound, and join a serious, supportive community, G.D.G.A. is your home. Tune up and step in.
