Felix Martin: 14 strings ambidextrous guitar - Seymour Duncan NAMM 2014

Felix Martin, an ambidextrous, Venezuelan-born guitarist who moved to America after winning a scholarship to attend the prestigious Berklee School of Music.

Felix is pushing music into new boundaries by mixing Metal with different styles such as Jazz, Progressive, World, Latin, Fusion, etc. Although his style is mostly called Progressive Metal, he is often catalogued as Jazz Metal, as he sometimes writes straight ahead Jazz mixed with Metal.

Felix uses his self-designed 14-string guitars, which are two regular guitars in one, standard guitar. Felix created a completely new way of playing the electric guitar by performing simultaneously with two of them as if was one guitar. This opens up a new and hidden world of the electric guitar.

Felix pioneered this style of playing at the age of 13, and as of 2014, he remains the only one in the world who plays this way.
