I am a boy, soon to be 11, from Antwerp, Belgium. I play the classical guitar, and have been studying it since before I was 8 with my guitar tutor Walter. I practice everyday. I also start playing piano in music school starting September, as a second instrument, mainly so I can play synthesizer. I have been playing small gigs at school and in music school, and attend a guitar group where I can play together with other classical guitarists. My taste has developed quite a bit since I began, and after considering to start playing electrical guitar for a few months, I changed my mind and decided to go acoustic for now.
I like to play guitar arrangements of traditional classical pieces, and have played work from Grieg, Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner. I like traditional blues - mississippi style and thumb bass - and play stuff from Clapton, Flint and Sacksioni. I also like the Spanish traditionals like Tarrega, Sor, Carulli, Villa-Lobos and so on. I have been practising Asturias by Isaac Albeniz for 7 months now, and know it by heart, although there still is a lot of work ahead getting it to sound just right. |

My favourite guitar players are Eric Clapton, John Williams, and Andres Segovia.
I play on a decent sounding Takamine SC-132CP with massive cedar top and la bella silver studio strings, but I am saving up for a good concerto model. I am looking at less known makers, because the famous ones like Bernabe, Ramirez or Smallman are so expensive. Garcia Torre in France or Verreydt in Belgium are in my sights at the moment.
I speak fluent Dutch, some French and English. My dad will edit all my writings for spelling.
The music I put online is mostly from rehearsal, always live / in one take, and never edited or produced, unless specifically mentioned. |
