My name is Mateo Barragan (Bara it's my nickname)
I played classical guitar for 3 years. I used to play music from great classical guitar composers like Francisco Tarrega, Agustin Barrios Mangore, Heitor Villa-Lobos ...and I think of myself at that time as a decent guitar player.
In my last year of school i decided to quit the conservatory ( i said i wanted to focus on my studies, but i really wanted to enjoy my last year of school hanging out with my friends
) so for the next 2 years i didn't take guitar seriously... but during this time is when i started to listen to jazz, blues and rock n roll, and then everything changed... I was suddenly in love with the electric guitar.
Although classical guitar is beautiful ( I still like it a lot), after hearing guitar players like Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Wes Montgomery, Scott Henderson, Eddie Van Halen, Chuck Berry I knew i had to learn how to play the electric guitar. Hearing this guitar players was a mind blowing experience for me...
So I bought my first electric guitar but I didn't know where to start... so i was lucky to find GMC, this page is really awesome!!
I'm taking guitar playing seriously again and I hope to improve my guitar skills!
