My name is Macario My band mates and colleagues like to call me Maca. I've been playing guitar for almost 20 years, and have been playing music since I was a child. I started out on tuba/piano, rehearsing and playing in ensembles, and branched out to guitar when I was in highschool. With a laid back vibe and decent music theory knowledge and experience playing various groups, I hope to make this experience as painless and easy going as possible.
