Silvio gazquez

-I was born in Lincoln, Bs As, Argentina in 1978. At the age of 14 I begin to study guitar in a local conservatory. - At 18 years old I moved to La Plata to study classical guitar at Bellas artes university which I left 3 years later. Then I choose to study Electric guitar for my own. - I played in several bands like Rachel(power metal), Theatrics(heavy prog), Echoes(tribute to Pink Floyd) and many others... and my most important project Dr Fausto(instrumental music) - in 2004 I achieved the 3rd place in the George Bellas..s contest, the same year I was named for the good work in the Kiko loureiro..s contest too.- The year 2008 came with a lot of great news, first of all I was choosen as a finalist for the Guitar Idol 2008 contest, but I couldn..t make the trip. Anyway I was invited to participate in the GI 2008..s album. The other good news is that I shot an instructional DVD for an USA company. The DVD will be available in a few months. - Now I am going to colaborate with a pianist called Miguel Garcia from Spain in his first album.- 23-09-08- In the next days it will be available my first upcoming instructional DVD, to see some clips please go to http://www.virtuosoguitarsecrets.com/blog/ stay tune... see ya! - 22-10-08 - My first instructional DVD is available now, check out the prices here http://www.virtuosoguitarsecrets.com/orderpage.php- 27/10/08- GUITAR IDOL 2008 / VARIOUS ARTISTS Released November 14th 2008- 26/02/09 - I won the Petruccifever contest, see the top 3 picks here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoQJCuO9hfw&feature=chann el_page..Excellent playing!!!..

Richard Lundmark /..Really nice music Silvio and of course killer playing as always!.. Rick Graham /..Silvio earned enough points to be invited to the final but couldn’t make the trip. Silvio was deemed an example of a true Guitar monster along the lines of Shawn Lane, Todd Duane and similar: unbelievable technique and genuinely different, and with his effortless command of the instrument this guys time in the guitar limelight is surely guaranteed…..
