Uploaded 1 year ago
How long have you been playing?
I take classical guitar classes for one year paid with my christmas savings(back at march 1985),bought my first electric two months later(self taught),since summer of 1986 I played in a Thrash metal band...I retired from playing guitar in 1993 and start playing again in 2004
What gear do you use?
I have an 8 string Ibanez RG2228,a 7 string Bernie Rico Vixen,a ESP LTD M-207(7 string),Line 6 variax 600 with Roland GK 3,Two Brian Moore i88.13 roland ready guitars,Godin Freeway SA roland ready,Esp Ltd 1000 deluxe,Ibanez Roadstar II(1986),Jackson Kelley KV3,Jackson King V J208,BC Rich Warbeast Thrace roland ready and with acoustic piezo,BC Rich Baritone Bich,Steinberger spirit,a custom reverse headstock stratocaster,Dean Razorback shards,Dean Concert Electroclassical,Hohner electroclassical,Dean upright bass,Godin Glissentar,armadillo charango,custom roland ready 5 string bass,Dean Psychopicasso hollow body guitar...Have a line 6 HD 147 Half stack and a Carvin X50 very old stack,a POD live XT with all expansions,2 Roland GR 20,a Roland GR 33,a Axxon Terratec AX 100,a couple of pedals I don't use like a Digitech Timebender and a Digitech Harmony Man and a Whammy...I like 6 string guitars that are roland ready and 7 or 8 string guitars...I use .10 strings on my 6 strings,.11 on my 7 strings and .10 on my 8 string
What are you looking for from Fandalism?
A place to know musicians all over the world and post my improvisations so they go beyond the perception channels of my homeland
Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
At first I wasn't able to cover or copy anyone so I forge my style using techniques that were mastered...I had been more inspired than influenced by anyone but I love a lot of musicians of many genres
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
My last band was Chronomanc3r an extreme progressive metal band,vocalist,composer and guitarist of it(until september 2012)...my previous bands were Disaster(1986-1993,2004-2006 Thrash metal),Nihil Morari(2008-2011 Folk Doom/Death) and Chronepsis(2007-2009 Prog/Power),music was mine in all of those bands and some of their music was part of the set of Chronomanc3r...Right now I am not playing with anyone...
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
I will like to jam with my friends overseas,they may got a different musical perspective than anyone in my local scene
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
Don't remember the biggest audience but I know was less than 500 people...the smallest well one of my friends or my wife...
