About Me

I am a guitarist playing the guitar since 1995. My first instrument was a stratocaster just for $270. Blues, rock. grunge - Nirvana, Doors, RHCP, Marilin Manson )) - these are my teachers. In 1999 Great Ferdinando Sor came to my life with Grand Solo. For 3 Years starting 2000 I played pop rock music (blues, hard rock, grunge) in St. Petersburg clubs. My program included oasis, deep purle, led zeppelin, eric clapton, etc. With my Ibanez RG with SansAmp GT-2 I worked hardly every night in f^&*ng clubs for drunk peoples. 3 years in a trash bin. After this I was offered to work with a fine performer of Russian romances, Elena Gagarina, as accompanist on a classical guitar. A couple of years - and as a pinnacle of our creative interaction was a concert at the opening of a Kazimir Malevich exhibition in St. Pete's Russian Museum. But our contract wasn't signed. The producer of the project wanted to buy us as musical slaves for 12 years. On it my acquaintance with Russian romances ended. After all I sold all cheap Korean, Chinese and Indian guitars. I needed a professional instrument. But a good guitar of a concert class costs more than 5000 euros. Only in 2007 I could afford to get a classical guitar made by Spanish master Cazimir Lozano. This guitar was a prize at a Segovia contest held in Spain. No, I didn't win that, but bought the guitar from the winner )). Well, I said: henceforth I playing only classical music for a classical guitar. But my Mexican Stratocaster cries sadly in a dark corner. I have bought DiMarzio pickups for it and installed them on the neck and on the bridge. Now I sometimes plug my acoustic guitar in the linear input of my computer and write the music. There are two musical pieces from a song contest held in december 1-3, 2008. But not only serious music with seriously lyrics. There is my sur-psycho-schizo work around jazz-fanatic ))
