The Andreas Kapsalis & Goran Ivanovic Guitar Duo represent the perfect alliance of ten-fingered guitar virtuosity, outstanding melodic themes, and dynamic rhythmic variations. Kapsalis' Spanish-inflected playing complements their previously unexplored style that challenges the boundaries of pop music structure, juxtaposing his style with the world renowned Serbian compositional and improvisational mind Goran Ivanovic. Goran’s unique and rarely found talents set you forth on a cinematic array of emotions. Sophisticated, yet rebellious, this acoustic ensemble nods its head towards tradition but totally disregards technical conventions. They experiment in the melding of classical, various styles of traditional folk, and rock music, each receiving equal time.

Beginners
Goran Ivanovic - I have a single-cutaway classical guitar made by Roberto Boyd Desmond. It has maple back and sides with a German spruce top, and was designed for flamenco. I also have another classical guitar that was hand built for me by Richard Brune. It has a Brazilian rosewood back and sides, a cedar top, and two sound holes - one normal and one on the side. I also play a Godin Multiac ASC and a Danche archtop.
I string the classical guitars with hard tension D'Addario strings.
