My First Guitar

I picked up my first guitar at 13, learning chords and songs from a friend. My passion for fingerstyle guitar grew quickly, and I started learning songs by ear, spending countless hours practicing. Like many aspiring guitarists, I faced the challenge of figuring out what to practice and how to develop fingerpicking techniques efficiently. Explore my fingerstyle guitar tabs and beginner-friendly exercises to start your journey in fingerstyle guitar today.

Discovering Fingerstyle

At 19, I attended a jazz workshop and met guitarist Stano Počaji, whose fingerpicking style had a profound influence on my playing. After discovering fingerstyle guitar, I transitioned completely to playing without picks, creating unique fingerstyle techniques.

Years in Spain

After high school, I moved to Spain, performing regularly in restaurants and bars while exploring advanced fingerstyle techniques. I also performed as part of the duo Los Martinos with Slovak guitarist and composer Maok. Performing almost every night helped me refine my technique, adapt popular songs for solo guitar, and create original fingerstyle arrangements perfect for guitar enthusiasts and learners.
