When I was 13 I took personal lessons for five years with the best colombian guitarist at that time (Juan Carlos Ramirez- Knuto). These lessons were focused on 80’s virtuosity and technique development.
At 18 I took lessons on oboe in the (Sinfonica Juvenil de Colombia). When I left I formed a Heavy Metal band called Sanleslot for three years. This project recorded a single called Depression.
I attended several guitar clinics based on Richie Kotzen, Jennifer Batten and Calentano techniques among others.
I studied harmony and jazz improvisation, and taught jazz harmony and special rock guitar techniques at the Universidad Unilatina for two years. During this period I created the “symmetry for scales and chords that doesn’t belong to a progression”, “Chromatism between modal systems and regional scales” , “Alternate Picking Mode”, “Exotic Lineal Chords”, “Stretching Legato”. All of this material will be out in a book later 2004.
In 2001 I signed a contract with WASHBURN GUITARS and recorded/produced a progressive rock CD called “The Burning Glass Project” I recorded for this album guitars, bass, keyboards, sitar, and percussion/computer programming.
In May 2003 I signed a contract with Digitech. At this time I’m doing clinics to promote WASHBURN and Digitech products.
