Cisco started guitar when he was 17. However, he had a singular approach to the instrument as he was more interested by playing music than by just playing guitar. So it took only a few guitar lessons and a lot of practice (8 hours a day everyday for over a year) before the lady who taught the instrument told him he had no more to learn from her. A whole year passed. Though originally a brilliant pupil, Cisco was now too obsessed and rebellious to carry on studying if he could play music instead. After being expelled from two different colleges, he left his family and went on travelling around Europe with his guitar on his back.
Cisco's travels took him to Wales where he met John James. The Welshman was immediately captivated by the young virtuoso and his playing and took him under his wing. With John James, Cisco not only learnt finger-picking techniques. He was also taught that this very style was especially difficult to master, as it required more than just authenticity and feel. In order to avoid becoming an academical musician, James told his student that the most important was to drown himself into to the reality of the Blues.
Hence, the young Blues apprentice carried on with his journey. Inevitably, it took him where everything began, that is on the banks of the Mississippi River. There, were the genuine players, playing the Real Thing. Cisco drenched himself into the music and made a pivotal encounter: Fred Mc Dowell. Cisco learnt many tricks and techniques from him, including the bottleneck techniques that made him one of the best slide players to this day.
