Artist History I started playing guitart at the age of 12 years old with a classical influenced guy , a little older than I was, but I think I didnīt have the necessary discipline to develop in that area. Some time later I started leaning the basics with a left handed man(Mr Romeu), and from then on as a self-instructed boy.AT the age of 18 I met an older friend, who influenced me a lot ,introducing the great musicians from country and blues, and I plated in local bands here like "Paralelo" ,which made kinda comparison between North American music ,and Brazilian music.Another band was "Tennessee Rhymers", where we played country and blues songs.Just later on I started studying great players like Robert Johnson,Blind Blake, Gary Davis,Merle Travis, Etc, and I have seen tapes from Thom Bresh and Jorma Kaukonen, that have influenced and inspired me a lot .

Instruments 6-string guitar Taylor 710 and Takamine EF360, Breckler dobro
