Lado B

Born and raised in Santiago, Chile, Emilio Garcia is one of that country's top guitar players. He studied under the tutelage of an American mentor who taught him blues, jazz, rock and funk, but with his Latin heritage, Emilio is also deeply involved in flamenco. He easily transitions from his firey US-influenced electric guitar style reminiscent of Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani and Jeff Beck to a mellow, acoustic, flamenco guitar in the style of Paco de Lucia. Lado B reflects his acoustic and fusion side, as he uses his Avalos acoustic throughout all of the CD's eleven instrumental tracks. Destined to become an internationally recognized powerhouse on the guitar, Emilio has already taken crowds by storm in limited engagements in the US. This CD was recorded in Chile If you love instrumental acoustic fusion guitar you'll love Lado B.
