Ángel Ruiz

Description

I’m a professional guitarist with over 20 years of experience performing as lead guitarist in live dance bands, shows, and musical productions across a wide variety of venues. My style ranges from rock, funk, blues, jazz, and soul to Latin and pop, allowing me to adapt easily to different musical contexts — from high-energy party sets to more intimate lounge performances.
I’ve worked extensively on national stages and bring a solid background in composition, arranging, and studio production. I'm also available for session work and guitar lessons, both in-person and online.
Whether ... it’s for cruise ships, hotel residencies, jam sessions, or studio projects, I bring professionalism, flexibility, and strong stage presence. I’m comfortable with backing tracks, click tracks, and improvisation, and I can adapt to solo, duo, or full band setups.

Experience

Extensive experience as lead guitarist in professional dance and show bands across Spain, performing in events, festivals, and large-scale celebrations. These groups require high musical versatility, covering wide-ranging repertoires including pop, rock, funk, Latin, disco, blues, and international hits — delivering up to 4 hours of live music per night.
Skilled at learning and memorizing large sets quickly, playing with or without sheet music, and adapting to different lineups and stage formats. Comfortable supporting singers, fronting solos, and maintaining tight rhythm sections.
