Ronnie Montrose, (born November 29, 1947 in Denver, Colorado) is an American guitarist. Montrose has worked with a variety of musicians over the years, including Herbie Hancock, Van Morrison, The Beau Brummels, Boz Scaggs, Beaver & Krause, Gary Wright, and Dan Hartman. He was in the Edgar Winter Group before forming his own band, Montrose in 1973, featuring Sammy Hagar on vocals. That incarnation of the band put out two albums on Warner Brothers Records, before Hagar left to pursue a solo career.

The guitar virtuoso continued to put out albums as "Montrose" or "Ronnie Montrose" until he formed Gamma in 1979, initially putting out three albums using that moniker.
