Hello to all of you guitar fans out there! Thank you for your continous support. I have decided to close down the guestbook entries since they have been flooded with the enormous amount of spam on a daily basis. If you want to share any opinion or simply communicate with me, drop me an email and I will do my best to answer all of them.
There are plenty of video bootlegs posted on www.youtube.com so just punch in my name in their search engine and hopefully enjoy the guitar assasination!

Hi, I was really impressed with your playing. Do you have any influences I might not have heard of? More question for you but no space.

You are definatly my favorite guitar player ever, i love your instrumental music. Is there any way i could buy tabs for it?

hi Shime!!

you're a great player,i was on your concert a two months ago in split,croatia!!!thanx for pick and signature!!!

Damir, I was planning to see you at Maya's Pub in Zadar(of course). But i have a terminal heart disease prevented me from seeing the concert. I was so psyched for the concert that i caused myself to be symptomatic.

I hope you will play in Zadar again, Zagreb is 6 hours away.

DAMIR JE ZAKON!!!!!

Pozdrav od prijateljai iz Stenjevca i Gajnica...možda napravimo i tekstove na Tvoju vrlo inspirirajuću glazbu, naravno uz Tvoju privolu...

You kick ass with the guitar!! keep on rockin and make good music!!! John

Vozdra SHIME! Prvi put smo čuli za tebe,prije pet min i nismo mogli vjerovat da netko u HR može tako pilat gitaru-od sad imaš fanova i u BiH(Čapljini). Da li,ikako,moguće da dođes u Mostar,Sarajevo….ili bilo gdje blizu Čapljine?Veliki pozrav i samo nastavi tako pilat GAĆE

Majstore, predobru tehniku imas. Svaka cast!

Sime,bio sam u Boogaloo u Zagrebu i koncert je bio odlican! Sad uz Malmsteena,Impellitterija,Noruma i ostalih stavljam i tvoje ime! Hvala ti i dodi nam opet! Pozdrav iz Slavonskog Broda.

you are a really amazing guitar player.... you bring fresh air on all that suppose shred stuff who doing all the same thing over and over again.. ! 2 thumbs and keep on rockin` !!! we need that stuff !!!!!

Svirka je bila fenomenalna, bio sam kao u transu sat ipo. Koncert u Boogaloo je bio najbolje moguće potrošenih 30 kuna. Realna cijena koncerta je barem 5-6 puta veća. Tek počinjem svirati gitaru, a jako mi je žao što nisam imao novaca da kupim cd odmah na koncertu. Ludnica!

Bok!
Evo bas preslusavam "Demonstratus", fenomenalno!
Predivan sound, steta sto nigdje na stranici nema popisa opreme koju koristis

loving the smooth legato...

Thanks, Shime, Thanks!!!

hello!evo bijah na koncertu u cetvrtak, ali na zalost zbog nekih stvari nakon prve pjesme sam morala otici i jako mi je krivo zbog toga.ali evo moram pohvaliti to sto sam cula..
slusala sam malo albume, ma odlicno!
stvarno mi je drago da je jedan hrvat uspio pokazati svoj talent sirom svijeta!

Loved the new CD. Damir is the new Shred guiter God!!!

Hey Damir,

your posters kick ass. Ill try finding some of your actual music on the net. Keep on working those strings.

Axl

POzdrav Sime , svaka ti cast najbolji si
nego ... kad ce neko DVD izdanje ?

Pozdrav, Sheemah!

Za tebe sam saznao preko interneta i odmah ostao zaintrigiran tvojom pričom, predanošću glazbi, instrumentu i voljom za uspjehom. Divim ti se na hrabrosti i odlasku u LA jer je to zbilja jedini načini da se radi glazba na jednom nivou i makne iz ovog našeg balkanskog blata.

Gledao sam te sad neki dan u Boogaloo... Glen Sobel je mrak!!! :)
Sto kazes za predgrupu Crno Perje

Band je odlican, nema sta!

A di je Ibanez i Messaboogie? Goran - prika iz Zemunika - Zadar !

We want double DVD LIVE !!!!!!!!

Šime jučerašnji koncert je bio BOMBA!! Stvarno smo svjedočili NAJBOLJEM hrvatskom metalcu. A i Glen je bio izvanredan... Osim toga da si odličan muzičar si i stvarno čovjek kak treba. Stvarno mi se sviđa i način sviranja i ti kao osoba. Nadam se da budemo u budučnosti (kad ja napredujem) nešto zajedno napravili, i da bude još tako kvalitetnih koncerata u okolici. Pozdraf!!

Dear Damir, i am Yqin Bee, i am a rock musician. I have made some rock instrumental songs. And i would like to share musical experiences with other musicians.

I look forward to a live performance someday. Howabout a Texas tour? How about posting a video clip on the website or releasing a live DVD?

Keep on rockin'!

Guitarbrain

Hey Šime! After listening the "Demonstratus" only thing I can say is -fenomenal.
Branko, guitar player

That is some of the richest strat tone I have ever heard. Amazing output from those dimarzios. Excellent, catchy song writing, not mindless soloing. Each song crafted with purpose. Job well done

Sime, you kick ass... all the respect...
Eddie

Hi Damir!! I received your Demostratus cd today and all I can say is WOW!!! It was a nice surprise to see that you had taken the time to sign it too. You are definately one hell of a guitarist!! I could instantly tell that you play from the heart cause I got goosebumps from those killer solos. I play guitar too but here recently I've been slacking but after giving your cd a spin it makes me wanna run and pick up my guitar.

wow. its already been said a million times but as soon as i heard your first note i was addicted. ur playing style and riffs and solos is exactly the style i am working towards. you are truly UNDERRATED GUITARIST but on the level of the masters. i love it. there are two types of shredding the mindless wanking stuff and the melodic passionate stuff like yours. ill order the cd. later...

Just saw you ad in Guitar Player. Very nice playing. Nice to hear guitar based writing with great playing. I love your tone and was wondering what you use for gear? I'm recording my 1st solo CD and I'm doing it all myself and getting the tone is the biggest thing. I'm running direct using a Line6 podxt and have been very pleased with the tone. Do you ever run direct or is it all miked amp.?
Mark

Wow great over the top guitar!!!!!I am very blown away by your blazing style.....If any one is interested check out my bands web site WWW.azizband.com on my Bio page there is a small clip of me shredding CHECK IT out....ALL HAIL SHRED GUITAR.....

Wow nice Playing I like your Style insanely I'm working on my own style at this moment related to kinda a Apreggio's bluesy rock think it's kinda like yours and Joe satriani's well nice Website love your cd's Keep on Hailing your Axe High. rock on \\()()//

Excellent! Pure and awesome. It's refreshing to hear your music.

You're an inspiration to me as a guitar player.

Thanks Damir!

killer stuff, a longer sampler would be cool.

AWESOME!! saw you in guitarworld, killer work with your axe man...keep rocking...it's people like you that inspire me to play better...peace~~~

You play great. Hopefully you're planing a concert in Slovenia, because I would love to see you live.

I just listened to your sampler... Very nice. It's good to hear this type of playing again. Let me know when that instructional video comes out. I hope there's a strong emphasis on rhythm playing as well. Looks like I'm going to order the cd everything sounds really hot

Really good, I may have to break down and actually buy a CD!

i don't know any notes,i learned by ears and eyes but i can play like hell too...im gonna buy one of your CD may be i can learn new tricks from you dude ,signing your GB too.Let me know your latest album.....keep rockin Damir

DAMIR SIMIC SHIME: Hey Buddy! Thanks for the support. The answer to your question may sound redundant but here it is: Make it as good as you can and change your strings often.
Cheers, Damir Simic Shime

Killer stuff,keep it reel.cheers Robert

Hey Damir! The site looks good. Keep on rockin', and let me know when and where the shows are. Hopefully I'll be able to open up a show for you at some point in the near future. Check out my website, and keep in touch!

Dear Damir,

I saw your picture in Guitar World and just heard samples of your Demonstratus cd on your website and was totally blown away. The songs are all driven by rich, hook-driven melodies that sound so atmospheric and brilliant. I have not been impressed with anything like this since Satriani's Crystal Planet album. After that album, nothing Vai and Satch came out with impressed me, they were missing the hooks and started experimenting with these really annoying sounds. You are just straight forward no-nonsense guitar playing with beautiful melodies. Please keep this up. Also, your tone is the sickest tone on the planet. You need to show these instrumental guitarists how to get the job done. I've ordered every cd and I plan on buying much more in the future. Keep it up!

Hey Damir!

I saw ure ad in Guitar World November and ive finally got the chance to look at ure website.

Love the material, love the sound,
Can you please tell me if the album 'Demonstratus' is available in Australia?

Do you also have sheet music for your stuff, or do i have to do it the hard way and work it out by ear!

R.I.P.
