About Me


..
..My name is Fred, I've been playing guitar for most of my life, I enjoy playing and listening to all kinds of music, but mainly rock, blues, metal, and classical due to my aspirations and career motives. I attend Texas A&M International University and plan to earn a degree in music education. I have been teaching guitar and music to students of all ages for six years now, I was previously employed as a guitar instructor at Elmo Lopez Music company, however I have been blessed by managing to open my own studio (J.A.M. Music Studio). I've played with numerous bands in the past including Aggressor and Blind Reign. I am currently starting a band with several friends/musicians including: Johnny Arias/guitarist, Danny Arambula and Roger Salazar/Vocalist.
