Not all stars are plastered across social media. Some manage to create a buzz without resorting to self-aggrandizing promotion techniques.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jack Ruch is one of those people, and we\u2019ve caught wind of his music on Instagram<\/a>. There, he blesses the ears of his followers with beautiful solos on an almost daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Jack Ruch?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jack Ruch is a jazz, blues, and soul guitarist from Nashville, Tennessee. He\u2019s racked up an impressive following on his YouTube<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> accounts over the past decade or so, and we\u2019ve been wowed by his versatility and groovy guitar chops.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ruch is not \u201cout there\u201d on social media in the contemporary sense. In fact, he\u2019s a very private individual who just so happens to be an influencer among the guitarists of Instagram. Thus, his bio simply reads \u201cHusband, Dad, and guitar player in Nashville, TN. Available for Skype lessons.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Say no more, Jack. Just let the riffs and licks speak for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does Jack Ruch Sound Like?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With a repertoire like Jack Ruch\u2019s, it\u2019s perhaps better to ask what he doesn\u2019t sound like. There\u2019s no death metal or punk rock to be found here. That\u2019s for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather, you\u2019ll be treated to a beautiful mix of soul, jazz, blues, and rock ballads. Catch him on Tuesdays if you follow the #telecastertuesday<\/a> hashtag on Instagram, and you\u2019ll hear some sensual rhythms and solos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little taste of what to expect:<\/span><\/p>\n

There is plenty of material for you to dig into on Instagram, but you can also find some of Jack Ruch\u2019s older videos on YouTube. They may be a decade old, and his beard a bit shorter than it is now, but the technique is still solid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
