   About Paco Hernández
Hi there!! :) I´ve decided to create an account here to promote my music, and, at the same time, to maybe get to know interesting and cool people. I hope you like the space. Fell free to leave comments. See ya around! A little biography: Paco Hernández was born in 1981 in Murcia, province of Spain. His first contact with an instrument (not with music, which he remembers sounding at home since he has use of reason) was when he was five years old. A friend of his father who worked in a music store introduced him into keyboards. A couple of years later, he took formal classes in an academy of music, where he studied musical theory, piano and singing. For some years he was singing in the choir associated to the Academy, experience which greatly developed his aural skills. Later on, for diverse reasons, he quit the Academy, but never left music aside. Around thirteen years old, he continued looking for musical scores of his interest and began his first steps in composing, at that time inspired in OST (Williams, Edelman, Elman, Vangelis, and stuff like that), new age and japanese videogame music (Final Fantasy, Castlevania, and the like). When he was fifteen, he was introduced in rock music by a friend via Europe. From there he came to know the German metal of bands like Helloween and Gamma Ray, and, after that, the general metal scene. His interest on playing guitar was greater as time passed by, but the main culprit of making him take up the guitar, counting already with seventeen years old was, as frequently occurs, Yngwie Malmsteen. However, he never had some sort of blind admiration or idolization for him. A legend was circulating in his friend´s circle of Yngwie being something like an unreachable God of guitar. His propose was to demonstrate the falseness of this legend and surpass the master. Today he doesn´t know if he has reached this original goal, nor he cares about that; he lost interest in this as he began to learn a lot of new things and to discover great guitarists as Petrucci, Vai, Satch, Tafolla, Moore, Lane, Cooley, Johnson, Howe, Holsdworth, Timmons, etc..He also opened his ears, only onto metal and classical before, to new styles like fusion, jazz, funk, flamenco, classical and acoustic guitar, etc. He recently made public a demo, entitled Heaven or Hell, with seven songs, five of them being original; it can downloaded for free from www.guitarristas.info. With this demo he won the competition hold by the prestigious magazine Guitarra Total, in which he was featured in August 2006. Right now, after one of his songs has been selected for the 2ºCD de Guitarristas.info, and having learned a lot on recording and sound, he is working on another demo, entitled Second Opinion, which is scheduled to appear sometime in 2007, this time bearing in mind the international scope. Here I leave also some of my vids: Improvising over a Kiko Loureiro BT: .. width="425" height="350"> ..> My song Heaven or Hell: .. width="425" height="350"> ..> Fusion Improvisations: .. width="425" height="350"> ..> Some Polyphonic Tapping playing Bach: .. width="425" height="350"> ..> There are more videos in Youtube.

I really enjoy your style of playing Paco!! Your videos are such a great source of ideas and licks :) (but who is that person always sitting in the chair behind you lol??!) I also found your lesson 'colouring the shred' to be one of the best arpeggio lessons out there, an most usfull in my own playing so thank you very much!

Take care man!

Hi Paco, I hope all is fine with you. I just want to let you know that I have added a new instrumental guitar song (Nothing Lost) to my profile.
This song will be on the second OSV album.
Feel free to check it out and also to post your thoughts about it.

Your songs on the first OSV CD are killer!
