Been playing guitar since:1999

It all started when I was 7 or 8 years old when I listen by accident to the Red Hot Chili Peppers album Blood Sugar Sex Magic (It was on the case of a Michael Jackson cd I think), and I was totally blown away with those awesome psychedelic guitar sounds coming out of the speakers. It was really a revelation to me, so I asked my dad (who's probably the greatest guitar player I know) to buy me a guitar, he got me an acoustic nylon strung guitar and life begun for me.

A couple of years later I started to take it seriously and started to jam with my favorite records, it was hard to learn by ear, so when I first heard about GMC I was blown away - it would have saved me a lot of time, and quite a few errors!

Now I want to get something back to the world for giving me music, and a purpose in life, and I think the best way to do that is by teaching, especially beginners, and giving them the tools to find the inspiration that everybody needs to make something.

Playing and Influences
It's really hard to describe my playing for me, I consider myself a very rhythmic oriented lead guitarist, my favorite guitar players are, John Frusciante, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Billy Gibbons, Billie Joe Armstrong, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, B.B King, Kurt Cobain, Angus Young, Eric Johnson, Robby Krieger, Ace Frehley and Luciano Figallo.

At GMC
I'm very new to the GMC community, but I already saw a TON of great instructors, I'm more than honored to be a part of this community. I want to put out my tiny amount of knowledge and share it with everybody else, also I'm looking to learn from other instructors and from the feedback of all the students, being a guitar player I think is a never ending learning journey.
