Giorgos Tabakis is a 7^th String Guitarist who was born in Athens, Greece in 1980, and at the age of ten he heard the inner call to study classical guitar with guitarist-composer Kostas Eliades.

Giorgos Tabakis devoted many years of his life to learn all about jazz guitar playing and harmony together with music theory for advanced students with worldwide known guitar-composer Andreas Georgiou, the highest level in guitar teaching, improvisation, ethnomusicology, and player of traditional instruments from India, Africa and many more. Andreas was the perfect guidance for Giorgos Tabakis who was deeply immersed into learning as in a sea of musical experiences.

Since 2007 Giorgos is still trying different ways to play on 7^th Strings Guitars, making his contemporary jazz playing a unique style. He is the composer and guitarist for a number of projects: Giorgos Tabakis Trio, The Multiverse Ensemble, The Gaia Art Group and The Impulse Trio (Achilleas Tabakis on bass and Loukas Kalantzakos on drums, one of the best jazz-prog-rock-experimental drummers I listen to in a circuit of drummers from Greece, Germany and England, Loukas is the drummer for the Greek Trio Brothers TKG).

Giorgos Tabakis also teams up with musicians from jazz and the creative music area and participates in numerous concerts. Giorgos compositions are leading him to a wide position within the contemporary jazz scene in Europe.
