Vicente Patiz performed in the northwester in German city of Oberhausen, then drove more than 1,000 kilometres to give 1 1/.2-hour concerts in Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland and Liechtenstein and Austria, playing Mediterranean guitar music he had composed himself.

The concerts, at which Patiz played Mediterranean guitar music he had composed himself, lasted up to 1-1/2 hours and were attended by between 20 and 100 people.

"The concerts weren't all held at sociable times," he said. "It was a bit difficult to get the Swiss to come to a concert first thing on Sunday morning."

"I'm a little bit tired but very proud," the professional musician said.

The previous Guinness World record for the Most concerts performed in diffrent countries in 24 hours was held by Jeff Aug, who gave six concerts in six countries within 24 hours in March 2009.
