Hello to all my Myspace friends! I hope you had a great summer and are getting geared up for an active and musically productive fall!

As many of you know, GREEK GUITAR POWER (my instrumental electric project that is comprised of my MOST advanced electric guitar students) had a VERY strong year with numerous seminars, live performances and too many new sponsoring to mention!

Now, I am in the (lengthy and a just little tiring) process of arranging the upcoming performances/events for the period Fall 2008-Spring 2009… We are already scheduled for 5 weekend Electric Guitar festivals around Greece plus quite a few performances for the Live Band! Details with dates and venues will be announced shortly in upcoming bulletins!

For this coming season we have a couple of personnel changes in the permanent lineup of Greek Guitar Power.

Gus Drax and Constantine will no longer be joining us in our performances/seminars.

I've been the electric guitar teacher for Constantine for 6 years - he was only 13-years old when he came to me for his first electric guitar lessons! He was worked very hard and has come a LONG way since then.

Gus Drax was already a VERY good player when he came to me a couple of years ago – he just needed a bit of "refinement" and some professional guidance.

Both guys have A LOT in their plates right now, trying to juggle being a full-time member in 2 different bands each and recording their own instrumental CDs. All these commitments unfortunately do not give them the luxury of the time needed to take part in a time-intensive and musically ambitious project like Greek Guitar Power...

I am VERY PROUD & HAPPY for both kids

(well, actually I should probably call them "guys" – but, to me,  they are always kids...)

As a guitar teacher/manager, MY GOALS for these two have been accomplished to the fullest!

They ARE well on their way to a professional career making music!

From now on, it is up to them – it is now their responsibility and THEY will be the ONLY ones to get all the credit!

I SINCERELY wish them the best in their career!

Their permanent replacements in the Greek Guitar Power Lineup will be announced within the next week!

Cool Bro,
I hope you'll have a lot of fun on stage.

Hope we'll get to jam next time I'm in Greece:)
Cheers,
