■Author profile YUKIE Started playing classical guitar at the age of 12. After that, he started playing in an electric guitar band, and from the age of 20 he also played in an artist's backing band. In 1991, he joined "VELVET PAW" (released an album from Sony Records). After the band broke up, he went to music school and studied guitar, theory and songwriting again. He is currently a lecturer at Yamaha Popular Music School, while also composing and performing in sessions. His session with world-famous guitarist Lee Ritnour was praised for "The great play!"
