Federico Miranda is the guitarist for the Costa Rican music group Gandhi.
[edit] Biography
Federico met Luis Montalbert-Smith in highschool. They played together in a highschool contest and won 2nd place. They have been working together ever since. Federico began playing the guitar at age 12, inspired by the guitar rock music of the 80's and 90's, such as Van Halen and virtuoso guitarist Joe Satriani. Mostly self-taught, he began learning tunes 'by ear', and then took on theory, piano, and jazz guitar and improvisation with Costa Rican local musicians. He then went to Berklee College of Music, where his interest got more towards jazz, flamenco, celtic, and latin. Of Gandhi's members, Federico is the most acquainted with harmony and theory and writes most of their musical arrangements. Miranda is also a graduated Electrical Engineer and loves audio, signal processing, recording, and music technology.
Federico Miranda is endorsed by DiMarzio pickups.
[edit] Solo work
Federico also performs often with his instrumental jazz-fusion group, Baula Project, whose debut album was released in June 2005.
