Rodulfo is progressive without being endeavored to be it, without to enclose himself in the artificial limitations that some musicians impose to themselves. I don't find any purpose in to resemble anybody and on the other hand I see a personal development, so much in his roles on the acoustic guitar and on the electric one. As a composer he takes charge of to make rock, baroque music, Venezuelan folk tradition and a jazzy ingredient visibly present in his work. The incorporation of flute, harp and violin besides the traditional rock instruments, is enricher of his work. I have got pleasantly impressed by this music."

"I have always thought over and over again in my head what could an academic guitarist do, that is to say, a classical guitarist of those that can play Bach, Joaquin Rodrigo or Antonio Lauro, that learned to play well the electric guitar, that of course has a different tecnique, but that is an instrument that could nourish itself magnificently of the dexterity that develop with the fingers these executors of very complex harmonies, used to fight with the more difficult acoustic guitar. Therefore well, Raimundo belongs to this caste of guitarists. He can pass naturally from the acoustic to the electric guitar and in both his technique is irreproachable."
