Ivan Milenkovic

Location: Belgrade, Serbia
Date of Birth: Oct 10 1983
Been playing guitar since: 1999

I started playing the guitar in shelters during the NATO Belgrade bombardment. I taught myself to play from scratch on a 20 year old acoustic, and grew up with bands like prodigy, oasis, offspring, metallica etc. Now I play guitar professionaly and wish to succeed in the music business. Other than guitar I studied Business Studies, Management and IT sciences, and currently I am in my final year of a Masters in Multimedia Production and Mobile technologies.

Playing and Influences
I play to get to the point where nothing stands between me and the guitar. There I feel in balance. My main concern is phrasing and tone.

Early > Clapton, Hendrix (South Saturn Delta), Robby Krieger, Martin Barre, BB King, Ritchie Blackmore (Purple BBC Sessions), Charlie Byrd, Freddy King, Santana...
Later > Hendrix, SRV, Eric Johnson, Clapton (cream), Satriani (engines of creation), Albert King, Robert Johnson, Miles Davis, Peter Green, Joe Pass, Skip James, Frank Gambale, Rafael Fayes, Vlatko Stefanovski, R.M.Tocak...
Now > Now I soak up everything I hear.

At GMC:
I think the strongest thing about GMC is the people. It's community is THE BEST that I have ever witnessed on the internet, and must say that it is my honor to work and share my experiences with such nice people. GMC rocks!
