About Me

I asked my Pop, Fernando, if he could start teaching me to play right around my 13th birthday. Luckily for me, he was more than willing and shared with me all that he could about the guitar and music. I could cite him as being my biggest influence because I don’t think I would have come to play if it wasn’t for him. Over the years I have focused on many different styles of music and I hope to be able to project that through my songs. My current passion is Gypsy Jazz and I hope that you find my original compositions an enjoyment to listen to. I play a Dell'Arte Homage and I use both a a Wegen 3.5mm pick with Argentine Gypsy Jazz strings; silver wound lights. I also play a Taylor 514-CE, a 1984 American Standard Fender Stratocaster, and a 1999 Les Paul Smart Wood.Thank you so much for listening.*Please feel free to contact me if you live in or around the orange county area and you would like lessons, or are in need of a guitarist*
