Acid Martin was born in June, 1976. He stepped into music way back in his childhood when he started playing the piano. After a considerable period, at the age of 13, he swapped it for a guitar (firstly a classical guitar, and then a rock one). To do so he was influenced by groups like Whitesnake, Bon Jovi, Helloween, and even Death and Napalm Death, but his triggering image was Blackie Lawless' B.C. Rich Warlock. Later on he played the guitar for various groups, ranging from death metal to blues.
In 1993 he encountered Yngwie Malmsteen, and his guitar-oriented metal period began. Within it one can find the names of many of the up-to-date guitarists. Some of them are still printed in bold type (Joe Satriani, Ritchie Blackmore, Earl Slick, Tony Macalpine, Steve Morse, Steve Vai), while others are a bit faded (Jimi Hendrix, Gary Moore, Buddy Guy, Muddy Waters, John Petrucci).
At the same time he started collecting videos, books and cassettes with instructions by famous guitarists, who to a great extent sculptured his style: tender and silvery, and at the same time accelerated, aggressive and intimidating. His book, ACID MARTIN'S NEOCLASSICAL GUITAR STYLE is the result of 14 years of experience with an electric guitar. It is an easy way to improve your speed and technique. It also contains some tricks of the Greatest: Tony Macalpine,Yngwie Malmsteen, George Lynch and Paul Gilbert.
