I am flexible. Once I arrive at a location my wife and I will speak with you about where you want me to set up. Once this is done, I will try to find a place to warm up for a few minutes. We do our very best to make sure that each event starts and ends on the schedule we have agreed upon.
I then play 1 to 3 hours of solo classical guitar consisting of Spanish, Brazilian, Argentine, and a few contemporary pieces. My sound is highly audible, but allows people at the event to converse among themselves. My listeners tell me that my playing creates a peaceful atmosphere.
The classical guitar is, without a doubt, the most beautiful instrument conceived by man. I absolutely love sharing its beauty with people.
I began playing around with an old guitar I found in my house when I was about 7 years old.
As a teen I played Rock with my friends, but it was never anything serious.
While Residing in Rancagua, Chile, I studied Classical Guitar with Gonzalo Cornejo at the "Casa de la Cultura." I currently study with Eduardo Minozzi Costa, and have been doing so for about four years.
Lately I have been gigging at local events in Yuma, AZ (for example, the dedication of our local cancer center, Coffee Shops, Corporate Events, and others). I love meeting people and creating a relaxing atmosphere.
I usually need to be near an electrical outlet. If this is not practical, I always have a 50 foot extension cord with me.
Aside from this, I can fit just about anywhere.
I am most strongly influenced by my esteemed past and present instructors, Gonzalo Cornejo Mauro, of Rancagua Chile, and Eduardo Minozzi Costa of Tucson, Arizona.
I routinely listen to the great players, like Julian Bream, David Russell, Ana Vidovic, and a host of others.
