Judges Comments

Silvio earned enough points to be invited to the final but couldn’t make the trip. Silvio was deemed an example of a true Guitar monster along the lines of Shawn Lane, Todd Duane and similar: unbelievable technique and genuinely different, and with his effortless command of the instrument this guys time in the guitar limelight is surely guaranteed…

I was born in Lincoln(bs as, Argentina)
I´ve been playing the guitar since I was 14 years old. I studied music theory in a local conservatory and the university of La Plata (bs as). In 2004, I achieved a 3rd place in a George Bellas´s contest, and the following year I was mentioned for the good job in Kiko Loureiro´s contest. I have several demos that I´ve recorded over the years, but I´m still looking for a record deal. It´s not an easy thing to find here in Argentina….

I have my own web page in www.myspace.com/silviogazquez where you can find pics, music and a lot of vids.
