Gigs in January 2013

There are going to be 4 gigs with my very good old friend Ivan Ristanovic on vocals in January! Ivan and I played one gig in duo couple of months ago. Since we had such a great time then, we decided to form a band. It's a duo and we perform the world known pop and rock hits in our own arrangements. Ivan is also the beat-boxer. With his powerful loop machine and effects he can create a lot of great sounds and layers. If you are around, don´´ miss the opportunity to hear us live, it's going to be a lot of fun :)

Arranging for guitar

Recently I´ve been doing some guitar arrangements for probably the best and the biggest online sheet music company, called Virtual Sheet Music Inc. Until now, we published two collections, which you can find at the following links:

Halloween Collection
Five Pieces (coll. 1)

and, hopefully, many more will come :)
For the small annual fee you can download tons of high quality music sheets, with almost every possible instrumentation. The owner of the company is a very cool guy, called Fabrizio Ferrari, who will help you with all the questions you might have regarding the music on the site. He also runs one of the greatest communities for the musicians on the web, called Musicians Page. There you can sign in and make your music profile for the other colleagues to see. Also, there are music jobs posted daily! CHECK IT OUT!
