New Instructor - Jose Mena Options

[Kristofer Dahl]

Hi there, It is a great joy to present Jose from Equador!

You can check his chops and playing in this youtube video - I am really looking forward learning some of his licks in a GMC lesson!

Below you will find a few self-biographic words by Jose.

Welcome to GMC Jose

> I am originally from Guayaquil Ecuador. I was born in a family of
> musicians, so I was taught to play piano before I could even walk. I
> grew up listening to Beatles, Dire Straits, Queen, Pink Floyd, Allan
> Parson’s, America and several other classic rock bands that my father
> used to listen to.
>
> At age 12 I began listening to heavy metal, and was fascinated by the
> electric guitar, the guitarist that inspired me to pick up the
> instrument was Slash from Guns n’ Roses. Till this day I believe his
> solos are some of the most powerful and amazing I have heard.
>
> Later on I started listening to Vai, Malmsteen, Petrucci and other
> amazing guitar players, and started incorporating fast shredding
> techniques into my playing.
>
> In 2000 I joined the well known thrash metal band Demolicion from
> Guayaquil and toured with them for about a year, till I decided to move
> to the U.S.
