Pablo García Fernández (born December 26, 1976, in Oviedo, Spain) is a guitarist, for the power metal band WarCry.

Career

Pablo's first contact with the guitar occurred at the age of 16, in the summer of 1993. He was self-taught and decided to dedicate most of his time to the instrument, leading him to form his first band with some friends. When things became more serious, he joined WarCry in 1996. Later he became part of another local band, Presto, recording an EP, "Disciples Of Fear", covering some Yngwie Malmsteen songs at the venue Quatro De Avilés. During that time he attended the Instituto de Música y Tecnología (IMT) in Madrid in July, where they mainly studied harmony.

After Presto separated, he started a Progressive metal project named Relative Silence along with former members of Presto and WarCry. They recorded two albums: the first one was untitled and contained three tracks, including a version of Iron Maiden, and the second album was recorded between December 2001 and January 2002, entitled "Mixture?", with four tracks.

In January 2001, Víctor and Alberto asked him to collaborate on their first studio album, WarCry. After a while, he decided to become an active member of the band and left aside his participation in Relative Silence.

Over the years he has attended several jazz courses by the pianist Joshua Edelman and the guitarists Chema Saiz and Joaquín Chacón, combining his role in WarCry with another career as a "Guitar Professor". His main influences include Dream Theater, Symphony X, and guitarists such as John Petrucci, Michael Romeo, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai and Yngwie Malmsteen.
