For the past 5 years, Thomas has toured in Europe, Asia, South America and the Middle East, playing over 500 concerts. Thomas studied Classical guitar at the conservatoire of Arnhem and Latin/Jazz in Rotterdam. This, in combination with his affection for Flamenco and Heavy Metal has strongly influenced his technique and style. On popular demand Thomas released a Nylon Maiden Tab Book, and created an online guitar school at www.KingOfTheStrings.com especially for those who want to learn his style of guitar playing. At the end of 2016 Thomas was invited by Ortega Guitars to go to Spain and design his own Signature Guitar. The guitar is now available worldwide (limited to 66 pieces).<br>
