Background:
Takahiko Minamino played the violin from the age of 4 until the age of 14. In high school he got into guitar and Yngwie Malmsteen

After graduating high school he attended music school where he met Kelly Simonz. He learned some great picking technique from Kelly and he learned much of his current neo classical technique from Kelly too.

Since then he has taken lessons with Joy Basu in Los Angeles. He has picked up some of the aggressive groove playing from playing with Joy Basu. Takahiko Minamino was featured by Mike Varney in his spotlight column.

He currently records under the title Crystalforce, recording and playing all the instruments. You can here some excerpts of his neo classical style on his myspace web site.
