I started to play the guitar in 1979. That year Dire Straits' first single Sultans of Swing left such an impression on me as a teeny kid that I started to play with the same finger-style technique like Mark Knopfler. Today this technique still seems to be the most intelligent approach, so I never left it. I try not to blindly copy things but to understand what is going on, for this reason you will find a lot of explanation in my videos.
