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.

Hello to all, Just thought we'd stop by and say thank you ,to all the awesome bands that have sent in their material which has been aired on the show throughout the years.
We have had an exceptional response through myspace from some of the most talented underground musicians in the world . It is your contribution to our show that show people that there are still actually real musicians out there [and rap is surely not damn music, neither is that techno crap].
