Background:
Theodore Ziras didn't start his music training until the age of 15. He always had an interest in technical players and so in 1998 Theodore went to the Guitar Institute of London where with a degree in Music Performance & Composition.
In early 2001 he signed a record deal with "Steel Gallery Records" to release an instrumental CD "Trained To Play". This album clearly shows his love of neoclassical guitar and complex harmony combined with his trade mark fluid, meter perfect picking technique.
Following of military duty, a hiatus of 2 years, Theodore recorded his 2nd instrumental album. "Virtual Virtuosity" released in March 2003 through "Secret Port Records".
Theodore has also launched his instructional material on to the highly rated "Chops from Hell" guitar instructional web site, featuring the likes of Todd Duane, Rob Johnson, Tony Smotheraman, Rusty Cooley and Scott Stine.
But if you want to see more clean picking than you can shake a stick at then check out the video playing demos or music tabs or free lessons or video courses from Theodores site or check out his instructional course on Chops From Hell web site. You can also buy his CD's from the guitar specialist web site: guitar9.
