ABOUT ME

SOMETHING ABOUT ME

Walking around the world with the guitar on shoulder

I was born on July 16th 1990 and at 10 years old I approached the guitar, thanks to my father guitarist who always kept me in close contact with the music world. I have started teaching from early age immediately after my education, succeeding in preparing my students for higher academic courses such as the University of Music at the program "New technologies and musical languages", "S. Louis College of Music" (in Rome) and "Lizard Musical Academies".

The relationship I have established with my students is a great strength of my teaching method: it is based on trust and friendship the students are aware of, so they know they have found in their teacher a guide and a friend with whom they can talk years later.

In addition to the guitar, I am also fascinated by the whole digital editing world revolves around the music. In fact, I began to approach the stuff and workstations needed and I have experimented, eager to widen my knowledge on everything related to the process of musical creation. The home-recording experience in the private sphere accumulated over the years has earned me the position of manager of the recording studio in the school structure in which I have worked for several years.

What most characterizes me is the nature of willingly accepting new proposals in the professional music sector, finding continuous opportunities to enrich myself from a human and instrumental point of view. It is with my first embarkation on Costa Crociere that I was amazed by what music can offer, leading me to visit the most beautiful places in the world - with my trusted Stratocaster always with me.

MUSIC LIBRARY

In this short video I try to summarize my teaching method's supporting pillars: solo and rhythmic technique, expressiveness and personal re-elaboration derived from your own taste and artistic sense. The starting point... of all this is to follow on a parallel line the critical and prejudices free listening of italian pop music, which, paradoxically, I have always heard to be defined by my students as "a foregone and boring genre". Very well, I respect all (or almost) musical tastes, on the other hand "de gustibus non disputandum est" - translation could result "made your own business, if I do not like it, do not like it": but what does happen the moment when we really make ours a song of "that singer has a beautiful voice but I do not like the songs he writes"? I found it interesting, for example, to take a song by Pupo (I can see painted a mocking smile on my students' faces already) and bring it into a more "rock" key, putting in a guitar solo in perfect shred style (Malmsteen is that you?) and with clear references to Mark Knopfler and Slash. Hence the step towards a more specific genre for solo electric guitar, which has always fascinated those who approach the instrument for the first time, is absolutely short: and here in the video, which opens with a rhythmic "drawn" blues, we pass through italian pop (often revisited according to my rock soul) and finally we arrive at the shredding, here summarized in two pieces by Andy Timmons and Chris Impellitteri.
