About Me

I started my journey in guitar learning when I was 19/20 years old. First I took an old and I think all laminated classical guitar that was in my grandparents’ basement. After breaking a string, I went to a small music shop and I end up buying the cheapest acoustic guitar. A big mistake because it was all laminated too, sounded horrible and had high action, but I didn’t know anything about it by then and I didn’t want to spend more money for something that I didn’t know if I would like it. After a summer hurting my fingers I managed to be able to play a few basic chords (yes I even managed to learn the F and Bm barre chords with a capo to lower the action!!). Full with satisfaction and with some savings in my pocket I decided that I needed to upgrade my guitar. I drove for 6 hour to the south of Spain because I saw online great prices on a Martin d28 and some gibson and after fooling around with both I decided to take the Martin home. I love its sound and feelings! But eventually I got bored of playing the same strumming paterns plus I studied abroad and had a couple of years gap playing only twice or four times a year. Last March I felt the need of playing guitar again and this time I decide to focus on fingerpicking.  Since I didn’t feel confortable about sending my Martin to a Stockholm dorm, I bought a little superconfortamble Gretsch Jim Dandy. And after putting a bone saddle and lowering a bit the action got a nice mellow tone plus I also use it as my travel guitar without worrying about humidity, high temperatures or dings!

Now I am GASing for an all mahogany OM!
