Hard Rock - Shred guitarist Laki Ragazas had his first contact with the
guitar when he was 14. Influenced by the overwhelming expression and
technique of guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix, Michael Schenker and Gary
Moore it didnt take long to give in to the magic of playing on stage.
Though he had done some private lessons he must be considered as self
taught guitarist, acquiring a Certificate in classical harmony.
He started playing with local cover bands, but soon he began working on
original material.
With a great proffessional background, working as a session musician,
playing with numerous bands touring just about everywhere, hes attained
maximum live experience in excess of 1000 performances, including TV
shows on local and satellite channels, having had the opportunity to be the
opening act of international artists like Nazareth, HTP (Glenn Hughes -
Joe Lynn Turner Project), Eric Sardinas and UFO.
He was nominated among 12 guitarists all over the world for a full
year scholarship to attend the Atlanta Institute of Music which was in
cooperation with Jason Becker.
He also won a $5000 scholarship from Bostons Berklee College of Music.
He's been voted by guitar fan sites as "one of the best upcoming guitarists".
For the last ten years hes been working as a guitar teacher in various music
schools of Thessaloniki, Greece and he has successfully made guitar
instruction clinics. In recent guitar seminars he presented his new teaching
approach called Electric Guitar; Advanced Techniques and Theory.
In 2006 he founded the Killer Sixgun project, he recorded eight songs
included in the first self released CD, (6 instrumental and 2 with singer John
Jeff Touch) which received stunning reviews from all over the world. Track No2 in the CD called "Highway Of Love" is included in a compilation called "Race Track Rock" released in the U.S. under Versailles Records on June 19th 2007.
He’s currently preparing new music material on the Killer Sixgun project.
Laki Ragazas has recently performed live as the lead guitarist for legendary ex-Iron Maiden frontman Paul DiAnno on his Greek shows in March 2008.

------------------------------------------------------------- "Forever Being Swept Away"
I walked into tomorrow while leaving behind so many memories from today, with nothing left for me but sorrow, there were only words for me left to say. The doors were left wide open only they couldn't show me the way, new dreams I'll now have to borrow, if I'm to find meaning in a brand new day....
What happened, how could it have turned out so wrong, now there's only words for me to write, and have to sing them in this really sad song. What happened, why did you turn my smile away, now my heart has to once again be afraid. Filling this whole where you once belonged, still wishing you could have stayed....
I walked into tomorrow, fearing what I now feel from my own yesterday, I couldn't take it any longer, I had to let her go and just finally walk away. How can I forget her, a love that I felt to be so real, when all along she was playing me, now there's only sadness for me inside to feel....
I feel as though I have now lost my way, knowing I'll forever be remembering her for the rest of my days. Dreaming of a once loved yesterday, where as my heart was just a rose peddle that became lost in the river of love, until finally finding itself hopelessly drowning, and then forever being swept away from winds from above....
Hey there Killer Sixgun, thanks for the add.... I hope many smiles are always finding your direction, and I hope there are flames being held way up high, every time you play.... ~Nick~ :)
“The Trees And Their Leaves”
I watch the colorful leaves as they dance the autumn breeze, seemingly unaware of the up and coming freeze. They seem so happy and so content as they hang out with the other trees.
I wonder if they are looking back at me, and if so, what do you think they see?
They seem so alive, so passive, yet so free, not concerned about tomorrow, or their life's destiny.
Soon their branches will release them, floating away into the air, not knowing the fate that awaits them, leaving them lonely, cold, and scared.
Now that the branches are alone, cold, and bare, with seemingly nothing left for them to share, I come back to this place quite often, letting them know how much I still care.
