About Puguh Kribo,....
I’m Puguh Kribo, with bachelor degree of civil engineer (ST) and bachelor degree of law (SH), was born at Surabaya
33 years ago. Start to get interesting in learning guitar by listening
to churchly music and learning from churchly guitarist at my local
church named GSJA (Assembly of God Domination) Surabaya. Time goes by…. I got more interested in music and that was the beginning in learning guitar.
I
was teenager at that time. While in school at SMPK YBPK Wiyung
Surabaya, I started to play music in a band or a team with my friends
who have the same interest in music. I, myself already know about
rhythms very well. Started on that time, I loved to play music, my
guitar in churches and on stages around my neighborhood, round west part
of Surabaya.
From
the year of 1995 until 2000, when I was studied at Untag 45 University
at Surabaya, I get to more and a lot more of music, from the easy one to
the very complicated one such as Yngwie, Van Hallen, Skid Row, White
Lion, Pantera, Metallica, Nirvana, Pearl jam, Edane, Boomerang, Power
Metal, Halloween, Queen, Mr. Big, Deep Purple and many more. I was also
taking music courses to sharpen my skills and my feeling in music by
taking music course at Melodia Music School Surabaya than I continued
the lesson at Yasmi Music School Surabaya (representative of Royal
School of Music United Kingdom in Surabaya). For guitar scale, I learned by myself for almost 5 years after I has finished my study at university.
Based
on that experience and a lot of study, I continued to develop my
knowledge and skills in music. I like to have experience in songs, tried
many music festival and parade on East Java, also followed quiet a lot music events.
But
for almost 2 years my carrier in music was stopped because of others
things. On the year of 2002 until 2008, I owned my own Music Studio
named Zieltro at my house on Pumpungan Surabaya. The studio is next to
Unitomo University Surabaya and near my campus (Untag 45 University
Surabaya). And that time, I became guitar instructor specialist on
melody at my studio.
On 2008-2009, I joined the Dean Guitars Contest on the internet by sending my video on www.deanguitars.com.
I was the contestant with the higher polling for weeks, this contest is
taken by people around the world. In the same time, I also produced my
own VCD and sold it for more than 300 copies. It was contained about
speed picking, alternate picking and picking improvisation (you can
check the video on www.youtube.com by typing puguhsurabaya)
On January 2009 moved to Jakarta, became guitar instructor for electric and classic guitar in Trinity Music School
at Pantai Indah Kapuk – North of Jakarta. Have carrier as guitar
instructor in GMC (Global Music Centre) at West of Jakarta and on June
2009 joined GSI (Guitar School of Indonesia) at South of Jakarta.
On
that year, I did some guitar clinic together with Melodia Jakarta to
promote my self and help Melodia to promote their product. On November
2009, endorsement by Stranough Indonesia in term of friendship exclusive ( www.guitarmade.com ).

The history of using both hands for playing guitar :
I
was inspired by Jimmy Hendrix. Especially, when I watched him plays his
left-handed guitar. It was in the years of 2000-2001, I once tried but
than give-up but when I tried again on the year of 2008 …….. I was
surprise, I can do it and I develop my skills again, I tried to play
with up-side-down string and others experiments …. Finally, I can played
the twin guitar, not stop until that stage, I deg more of this twin
guitar, more experiment more skills. I felt that something help my to
arrange my movement while I’m playing, that’s why I enjoyed it very
much. I tried with metronome from the lowest level until the hard one. I
also have no problem in trying songs with the twin guitar. You can
check the video of my learning progress and experiment in using twin
guitar at you-tube.
“Don’t try this at home!”, he2xxxx... just start from the “zero level” he2xxxx….. just kidding……
Practice and patience…. That‘s make all happen J
Before my first public live performance on November 10, 2009;
I practiced very hard to use the twin guitar (sponsored by Stranough)
well in 2 weeks. I had practiced before, for more than 6 months with
separates guitars. One more person than inspired to learn twin guitar is
Michael Angelo Batio (you also can check his video on you-tube).
It
is the moment, on February 3, 2010 I accepted my reward from MURI
(Museum Rekor Dunia, Indonesia) as First Twin Guitar Legend in Indonesia
for using both hands together in the same time category (pemain guitar twin menggunakan 2 tangan secara bersamaan).
This reward was given by Walikota of Central of Jakarta Mrs.
Prof.Dr.Hj.Sylviana Murni SH,Msi. It all happen in Mall of Indonesia
(MOI) at West Boulevard street – North of Jakarta.
My regards for Indonesia……
