MySpace Backgrounds HISTORY
I started playing the guitar since I was 14 years old. Inspired by bands like Metallica, Nirvana, Sepultura, Machine Head, Deftones etc. I teached myself how to play by listening very well and playalong with my favourite albums. After a year I started out playing in bands and not long after that I played my very first gig in a local bar. Through the years, my musical taste changed and in that period I picked up a whole lot of new influences. After that I have had class in classical and improvisational music. By the time I was 18 years old, one of my teachers asked me to teach some students of his, in a period where he had little time. I never stopped teaching since. FREELANCE GUITARIST I gained a lot of knowledge in very much different styles and because of that, I can work in almost every situation: live, studio, accompanying or improvising. My way of working is based on control over my instrument, a great sound, usable in practically every style of music and situation, troubleshooting capabilities, flexibility, and accuracy. Beside that I have gained a lot of live experience. GUITAR SCHOOL Since 2006 I am running my own guitar school in Uden, the Netherlands. I teach there at Tuesday and Thursday. It is possible to have lessons in many different styles and for all ages. My lessons are based on the idea that the student always is the center of the lesson and that the program always will be formed to the needs and wishes of the student.
