Pete Marinovich is a committed and reputable six-stringer currently based in Rockville, Maryland (U.S.A.) who reveals his playing style as chordy fingerstyle most commonly found in brazilian bossa, as a listener can readily experience on his most recent album, "Nude With Guitar".  His most utilized guitars include a Gretsch Country Classic and an Angel Rosados Classical. Marinovich has been playing guitar since 1974, and with no holds barred declares his career aspiration, "Independence. I love composing and recording much more than performing so I am working toward getting as much exposure for my music as possible. My goal is for each recording project to make enough money to finance the next one in perpetuity. Performances make me think about compromising my natural self expression in order to go over big. Recording is free of that anxiety."
When requested to divulge his one essential effect for the guitar, Marinovich came back with, "Lexicon reverb," and then pointed out his musicial goals, "I want to express the inherent beauty of simple arrangements and low production. I want to get the potential listener's attention by whispering rather than yelling or flagging them down with a cliche riff. More than anything, I feel centered when I play. So I want the audience to feel centered when the hear the music." He fervently hopes to one day study sign language ("My life to this point is largely about connecting with the universe through a sound medium that I've learned to control with my hands. Some very beautiful people share this planet and can't hear. Some day I would like to meet them on their own turf still using my hands"), and is presently listening to Pierre Bensusan ("He definately has my attention as someone I feel is a great composer and a kindred spirit") and Tuck Andress ("More for his interpretations and uninhibited risk taking approach"). His primary fulfillment? "Responding to fan mail from foreign countries. I've always thought of myself as a closet musician. I spent a lot of years as a role player in bigger groups, never really knowing if doing "my own thing" would appeal to anyone. I am only recently coming to understand fully the universal appeal of some of the things I do. We all need that validation to continue or else we may destabilize and freak out," he declares categorically.
 Marinovich concludes by listing current and approaching undertakings succinctly, by saying, "I'm about 50% done with my second CD project which will contain three classic covers and six original tunes. I am already thinking about my third project which will be a collaboration with an incredible writer/vocalist Melinda Klump who performs and records in New York."
Marinovich's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("Nude With Guitar", "Second Voice").
