About Ron Diller

Ron started playing the guitar at the age of nine, learning on a plastic model. As he progressed he played rhythm guitar with his brother and uncles whenever they got together or when they played at church. When his brother Lonnie went into the service Ron found himself playing alone and started listening to Chet Atkins records, which is how he learned to play 'fingerstyle' guitar.

He played in various Christian bands through the 70's and 80's, mostly on lead electric guitar. Since that time he has focused mainly on solo acoustic guitar using standard and alternative tunings with 'bottleneck slide' being one of his favorite styles.

Ron lives in Silverton, Oregon with Chris, his wife of 34 years. They have a daughter Lindsay, son-in-law Travis, granddaughters Marlie and Cammie and grandson Baylor who all live in Keizer, Oregon. Daughter in-law Vera, granddaughter Kendra and grandson Kyle now live in Ventura, California where they reside with Vera's new husband Michael Bridges and his daughters Shayde and Ronnie.
