Born in the city of Orizaba and raised in Cordoba both in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, Alfredo began playing guitar at the age of 15.
Influenced by players such as Greg Howe, Marty Friedman and John Petrucci amongst others, Alfredo would spend time playing with his friends without taking music seriously, until he decided to move to the U.S. in order to study it at Music tech in Minneapolis where he spent 2 years studying, attending seminars and practicing up to 8 hours a day which, led him to earn the "best rock guitarist" award.
Right after graduating Alfredo spent a few years playing on the road with all kinds of bands that ranged in numerous styles.In 1998, Alfredo was reviewed in the guitar nine records website as one the "undiscovered artists" for the month of September. Afterwards he took a trip to Easton, PA to study with his favorite guitar player: Greg Howe.Ever since, Alfredo has participated in, and won guitar competitions held in the Twin cities area by Guitar center and Mars music, and received positive feedback by internationally recognized guitar players and artists.
Not only as a guitar player alone but also as a band member he has won competitions and achieved honors that range from winning 1st place in his home state of Veracruz, Mexico at the "Yamaha-Coca cola music quest ’94", winning numerous "battles of the bands", live radio performances, and opening for National acts like "Cake" and "Sixpence none the richer" among others.
Alfredo has also been invited to give seminars at McNally/Smith college of music, and to write articles as a guest columnist for guitar websites.
Right now Alfredo can be seen playing around Hollywood and doing sessions. When not performing, he is spending time mixing his first instrumental CD which will be finished soon.
