Originally from Hawaii, Mundo Juillerat (aka The Flyn Hawaiian) now resides and works out of Las Vegas NV.
He plays five nights (10 shows) a week for Cirque Du Soleil's "Mystere" show at the Treasure Island Resort on the Las Vegas strip. He's also the leader of the modern gypsy jazz group The Hot Club of Las Vegas (check out their four releases on all digital platforms!) He has released four in studio live recordings with The Amazing Wannabees (drums-Pepe Jimenez of Santanta, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars Pinky Ring house band. bass-Danny Miranda formerly with Queen, Meat Loaf and currently with Blue Oyster Cult). Look for more releases in 2025!
Mundo has performed with David Coverdale, Sheena Easton, Gloria Trevi,Brian McKnight, Bill Champlin (of Chicago), Sophie B. Hawkins, JD Nicholas (of the Commodores), Melissa Manchester, and Crystal Gayle, Demi Lovato among others.
Mundo literally went from playing Hawaiian music professionally at the age of 13 to joining progressive rock groups. Now he plays all styles and has done many sessions in all genres. Nowadays, most of his session work is done through his home studio Ka Hale Ilio, where hes recorded artist records, soundtrack sessions, Broadway cuts, cruise ship shows and even guitar parts for some major Chinese production shows.
During his 16 year tenure as an artist with Washburn Guitars, Mundo worked as a clinician.
Demo-ing new gear led him to work in product development for Washburn and worked alongside with Disney, Sony and other companies.
As an educator he has made teaching videos for Starlicks, Hal Leonard/Cherry Lane and Music Sales. He has given clinics in the US as well as Japan. Throughout his performing schedule Mundo has continued to teach privately, specializing in teaching serious beginners to teaching solo theory and picking technique to professional guitarists. Due to Covid-19 this 2020 has brought the necessity of teaching thru "Zoom." Pleasantly surprised by how well Zoom teaching is working out has Mundo excited about the possibilities of sharing his knowledge and experience thru his TrueFire channel!
I can personally vouch for you "de-mystifying" guitar playing. We had maybe 3 lessons YEARS ago and it absolutely changed the way I looked at the fretboard. I still use the scales, modes, chords and general theory you showed me back then in everything I do musically today.
Personally I would like to see you do a video or series of videos on where to get gigs. Particularly how to transition from playing random to medium venue gigs to going after big corporate and festival jobs. So far I've been building connections from being a hired gun on up and coming artists EP's and singles, writing with said artists and playing in their music videos. What I would really like to know is where are all the auditions!?
So, in other words, how does one get from being ME (new guy on the block) to YOU (master of the universe hahaha)
