Alejandro Aznavwrian is the creator of a technique for fusion guitar, called "La Técnica al Filo", based on percussive rhythms and cadences from flamenco guitar and latin american music. This technique focus on developing a concert guitarist in rhythm, harmony and melody, along with percussive techniques and strumming. Throughout his career he was distinguished with a signature guitar named Aznavwrian for him by Andalusian Guitars, and also got an exact copy of Paco de Lucía's guitar. This led to the creation of his own brand, Aznavwrian Guitars.

Expanding Horizons.

Since its beginning in 1997, La Técnica al Filo has been driven onward by the creative spirit of Alejandro Aznavwrian, always ready to overcome the apparent limits of the acoustic guitar. It is on the edge of the guitar where he finds a new language and form of expression, not limited to one specific genre, but joining all in one technique, combining the bases of flamenco strumming with traditional rhythms and cadences of Latin America. The creation of this technique leads to the construction of a new acoustic guitar model, especially designed for La Técnica Al Filo, with an extra harmonic bar, protective plastic micas and trimmed frets.

 

The first model was manufactured by Andalusian Guitars, called Aznavwrian Standard, created to the proportion of Alejandro Aznavwrian.
