We feature, highlights of great live concerts,
captured moments of great inspiration during a performance and completely wacky shorttakes of events surrounding playing guitar.
Born and raised in Cali, Colombia. I currently live and teach in Las Vegas, NV.
I studied in Peabody, and the North Carolina School of the Arts with Aaron Shearer. I received my Masters degree and was awarded a Doctoral Fellowship at Florida State University where I studied with Bruce Holzman. I competed and won many international events, including the 1987 Guitar Foundation of America and The 1990 Alirio Diaz Competition. I record with many labels, as well as produce and edit my own projects. I am an experienced teacher and have many students ranging in ages from 14 to 65. My guitars were made by the late and great Thomas Humphrey.

Wonderful! One question though - I saw you back in the early 80's and you played these Fantasia's by Da Milano. Do you remember the name or numbers of the set that you played? I'd love to learn them. Thanks!
