Welcome to Guitar Development Global Arts (G.D.G.A.), our private Skool Academy for musicians who want transformation, not cookie-cutter lessons. Founded by Gary Dranow, and Chris Zoupa 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 Blues, Rock, Metal, and 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.
We’re growing fast—Jason Jones will be teaching Percussion and Audio Engineering in the coming weeks. 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!
