I started playing the guitar right around
the age of 14. Like many other guitar
players I first started with an off brand
of a fender Stratocaster guitar and
began listening to 80s hard rock and
metal music. I absolutely absorbed all I found a new love for Chet Atkins,
the music I could from these 80s metal fingerstyle acoustic guitar as well as the
bands and i was completely consumed classical/flamenco guitar. I felt drawn to
by the neo-classical shred era. Spanish Classical and Flamenco guitar
Somewhere around 1999, music. So my love for acoustic

fingerstyle guitar eventually evolved
into nylon string music exclusively.
