I'm a session guitarist from Italy and I love dressing songs with my guitar. I'm specialized in U2-esque style of guitar playing, I love the sound of delay and reverbs, but I'm a lot into Eddie Van Halen style too. So I can spice up your songs with ambient rhythmic guitars, load it with a lot of power and fill up with melodic guitar solos.
With my services you'll get Hi quality professional track ready to be mixed in your project.
I have a lot of different guitars, amps and pedals and I can easily find the right sounds for your track.
I love ambient rhythmic guitars with lots of delay and reverb, power rock tight rhythmic guitars, melodic guitar solos, ethereal guitars, classic lead guitar: I have vintage and modern instruments to get all the classic and modern tones your songs need.
I work as session musician, live and studio, from almost twenty year playing every style of music. I have recorded for musicals, Tv shows, Soundtracks and artist album. I have worked almost exclusively in Italy so I'm very excited to start new collaborations and recordings with artists and producer all over the world.
Working as a producer too I have a vision more musical about the parst to play on songs.
Every guitar part is recorded using two mic, a Shure SM 57 and a Royer Lab R121, that goes into two mic preamp, API 512C and Neve 1073. After that the mic preamps goes into an Apogee Symphony audio card/converter. Usually I record Acoustic guitars, and other acoustic instruments, with a Neumann U87 Vintage.
I have a collection of vintage and modern pedals and effects unit including Klon Centaur, Vemuram Jan Ray, Eventide Space, Time Factor and Mod Factor, Strymon Timeline, TC 2290, Korg SDD3000 just to name a few.
