More than 20 years of performing/recording experience, versatile, can easily go from Jazz to R&B to Rock to Latin no problem. Strong Rhythm as well as Solos and everything in between. I'm part of The Italian Smooth Jazz All-Starz compilation.
***SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE SEE RATES, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS BEFORE SENDING A PROPOSAL***
I have more than two decades of experience as a performer and as a session player, Europe, South America and USA is where I've developed my act. I've always loved groovy music, I'm naturally attracted to that, I also love jazz driven harmony, so if you put them together you'll see where my heart is. My record "SCRIPTA MANENT' (composed arranged and performed by me) describes me musically speaking better than a thousand words.
Having said that, as a session musician I've recorded tracks for a big array of styles, Metal included! My versatility is my forte though, my "personal touch" will always be there. I offer all of that to you, let me part of your project.
Apart from offering my service as a session musician, I'm also interested in teaming up with someone that shares my musical tastes, even if far away. I'd like to develop a project/band that has elements of Acid/Jazz, Soul, Rock, Progressive Funk/Fusion see Incognito, "Snarky Puppy, Corey Henry and so on.
I live in L.A, should you be local that would be great but if not we'll work something out, to end with I have a dual citizenship status (E.U./U.S.) Europe is my second home...consider this my "message in a bottle"

check_circleVerifiedGio is an incredible artist! it was a pleasure to collaborate with him.
check_circleVerifiedGio was amazing. Would love to work with him again as he met the needs of my project. Such a great experience.
I have worked with Gio Lombardi many times and he is one of the best Guitarists you'll find! His style of playing always compliments the project he is working on - he's got rhythm guitar chops like LA session greats - Paul Jackson Jr. and can lay down a solo like Jay Graydon or Pat Metheny depending on what the song calls for, never too much never too little, but just right.
Gio is an incredibly talented and complete musician. I am a singer/songwriter/producer and we have worked together in both, live performances and the studio. He is very experienced as a producer, multi-instrumentalist, and performer. He focuses immensely on the small details so I can always rely on him for any project and/or performance.
I want to thank you, Gio, for all of your dedication to my projects and your mentorship. I'm looking forward to many more projects with you!

As a Vocalist/guitarist and Concert Coordinator I have had the pleasure to work with Gio Lombardi more than once in different projects. He has produced complete tracks for me and played live for me in performances. Gio is an outstanding professional you can rely on. He is a great leader and his knowledge and experience will always take any project to a new level. I have also attended many of his performances and the audience always love him for his amazing solos and his presence on stage.
Interview with Gio Lombardi
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't be afraid to propose something a bit different to your client....you might be surprised!
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I don't have a specific name but, if "a" project has the following elements: Jazz derived harmony, groove & soul...I'm definitely the right person to call!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly Jazz, R&B and Latin but I work with Pop-Rock too.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Versatility, I can easily go from a jazz context to R&b or Latin maintaining my personality, or if requested mix them all up into what people have labeled as "Gio Style"
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: My personal touch, taste, and feel. The result of decades of professional experience can be easily summarized with those three words.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to have an open channel of communication with my client, it all starts there. Have detailed instructions to deliver exactly what is requested or a blank canvas to let my creativity go wild. In most cases, the result of the work is somewhere between the two extremes.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have three guitar amps (Mesa boogie, PeaVey, Fender) which I use to preamp the guitar sound. Have a combination of cabs of different sizes according to the needs of the project and all kinds of effects for the guitar. I use a Mac book pro loaded with Ram and CPU power that makes my Logic pro x run very smooth in combination with my Focusrite card. A series of studio monitors and headphones to end with
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I can't list specific names but I know when I hear beauty and sophistication, regardless of which music context are they part of.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Usually, I record guitar parts for my clients, both lead parts and rhythm parts. Also, I produce rhythm sections (bass, drums, guitars, and keys) and a ratio of 60/40
