Borislav Mitic is a more-than-capable, potent guitar player from Montreal, Quebec (Canada) who expresses his style as neo-classical instrumental hard rock with ethno-fusion influences, as can be heard on his latest release, "Fantasy".  His guitars of choice consist of a Fender Stratocaster and an Ibanez JEM 777. Mitic has played guitar since 1982, and frankly confirms his career goal, "I intend to record a dozen more albums, form a band, get serious management, make tours."
When requested to name his ideal effect for the guitar, Mitic countered with, "Dunlop Cry Baby wah wah," and submitted his musicial goals, "I am trying to take the listener on an emotional journey with my music. I also try to be musically and technically innovative." He would like to someday study sound engineering and the production side of things, and is currently listening to Jimi Hendrix, Mike Oldfield, Eric Johnson, Dire Straits and AC/DC. His utmost satisfaction? "Composing a good song and then successfully recording it in a studio. It's also very nice when I take that song and play it live for an appreciative audience later on," he answers indisputably.
 Mitic mentions ongoing and upcoming projects in his own words, "I am composing songs for my new album for Shrapnel right now. During this process I spend a few hours a day practicing, then I spend some time exploring new sounds and musical ideas. Finally I put the most interesting things I came up with down on a tape for further analyzing and integration into new compositions."
Guitar Nine Records visitors have compared the playing style and/or musical approach of Borislav Mitic to guitarists such as Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Vinnie Moore, Theodore Ziras, Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert and others.
Mitic's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("Borislav Mitic", "Fantasy") and participation on another recording (Vitalij Kuprij "Forward And Beyond").
