I started to learn guitar when I was a child, but some years had to pass until I decided to learn it fully. I mean, classical guitar which allows to play almost everything, from baroque pieces to jazz or blues.

Once you get the language, you can play everything.

So I began learning jazz chords with the late Tito Grande Castelli in Rosario city. A few years later I became a student of the Zemp family, a guitar players' family devoted to classical guitar. My first teacher was Claudio Zemp who taught me practically all the basics: reading music, technique, and of course he guided me through the whole process until I was ready to another step. To reach the required level I had to study ear training and Carlos Castro was my teacher. He was a fantastic musician.

So I prepared the works required and then I passed the examination for the Music University.

There I became Claudio's mother  student, Mrs. Inés Panero de Zemp, who also taught me kindly and deeply.

That school had a very intensive ear training course so it was really a great learning.

Then I took lessons with Víctor Hugo Rodríguez, a great guitar player who made me change some things that got me stucked with some technical problems.

I also kept learning and studying Musical Analysis, ear training, harmony, some piano and choral training.

By then I began to play live with a lot of musicians, and I joined a group where I played lute. We were two lute players and the group was devoted to Renaissance music.

Of course I played many styles of music, jazz, blues, rock, folk and our folklore too.

 

Comencé a tocar la guitarra siendo muy chico.

Pero pasaron varios años hasta que quise hacerlo en serio, así que fui a aprender acordes de jazz con Tito Grande Castelli en la ciudad de Rosario.

Luego pasé a estudiar con Claudio Zemp, lectura, audioperceptiva, técnica clásica y el repertorio de guitarra clásica. Hasta que un día Claudio me alentó a entrar en la Escuela Universitaria de Música, para lo cual preparamos las obras requeridas. Una vez allí, Inés Panero de Zemp fue mi maestra, y más tarde Víctor Rodríguez que me ayudó a resolver algunos problemas técnicos. Carlos Castro fue quien me enseñó audioperceptiva para el ingreso a la escuela.

Más tarde integré formaciones de todo tipo de música, incluyendo un dúo de laúdes en un coro que se dedicaba a la música del renacimiento.
