If it weren’t for family and curiosity, Arturo Gonzalez perhaps wouldn’t have picked up the guitar and learned a unique method of playing, leading him to win the UTEP Picks Talent contest twice.
Gonzalez, a senior microbiology major, has been playing guitar for more than 10 years now, showcasing his impressive guitar skills at different talent shows and events, turning his performance into somewhat of a comedic show by using footage of himself to battle, well, himself, but that wasn’t always the case.
“My cousin had given me an old, classic guitar for my 11th birthday,” Gonzalez said.
