Hej, I'm Gustavo. I am originally from Peru where I picked up the interest in music. I just moved to Calgary and I am eager to meet other musicians!
I've been playing guitar for 9 years by now while diversifying a bit into many other instruments. I love to try new ways to explore around rock, quite literally a fan of alternative rock. I have experience playing in different bands and live. I’ve also been an a capella MD for the past 2 years.
I enjoy reconstructing songs in MIDI which has also gave me some experience with the sounds of different instruments while also adding some of my own flavour. I consider that covers are a great way to learn and explore new concepts.
I am a lead guitarist but I've branched out into singing, piano, bass and rythmic guitar. I am always eager to learn more and tech others.I also have interest in several languages and music from all over the world and speak fluently Spanish, English and Swedish.
In general, I enjoy trying new things, combining effects and rythms from different cultures. I enjoy long intros with spatial atmospheres and smart notes instead of shredding that creates emotion. I would love to share my passion with more creative people.
