I was an electric and acoustic guitarist for over 20 years, from 1989 to 2010. Also Composer of classical , rock and electronic music on the computer. Author of several songs, never performed in public.
I played on radio, on TV, in live concerts, in music festivals. Together with the groups and singers with whom I collaborated, we recorded songs of Italian pop music, rock, heavy metal, thrash, new age. I enjoyed playing songs from AC/DC, Metallica, Eric Clapton, Deep Purple, Yngwie J. Malmsteen, Iron Maiden, Aerosmith, . With Richard Benson, my guitar teacher for about a year around 1991, I practiced with exercises and solos by Vinnie Moore, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert. I bought magazines for Italian, English and American professionals on the guitar, such as Chitarre, Axe, Guitar Player, improving my technique and my knowledge of the instrument by reading and performing scores and tablatures of various kinds: classical music, rock, jazz, fusion, heavy metal, country, blues.

Video with me guitarist or composer
Video in which I play the electric guitar on television, year 1997. The program was "Help" by Red Ronnie, aired on the national television station TMC2 (Telemontecarlo 2). I'm the lead guitarist on the left of the video. The song and the voice are by Andrea Di Cesare. The part of the electric guitar I played is written by me. The episode is the same in which the singer-songwriter Elisa made her debut on television.

Love Song "Solo per Te" – Written and Played on PC in 2002
Of the lyrics of this song I wrote only the refrain (easily recognizable by listening to the audio of the video): "Only for you // I am reborn // only for you // the world // only for you"
I wrote the song in the summer of 1999, on my personal computer with Windows 98 operating system; then in 2002 the same PC played it, while I recorded it in Mp3 format. However, all the parts are written for real instruments, which must be played by real people, by real musicians with their instruments.
Obviously, with real instruments, played by experienced professional musicians , the beauty of the song would be enormously more appreciable. In the video you only hear the MIDI sounds of a mid-range computer from twenty years ago.
In addition , the part of the voice would not be played by a PC but by a singer with a real voice, with the lyrics thought and written for the song. I made the song entirely with the Encore music software.
I wrote all the parts on the virtual score of the program: guitars, piano, bass, drums, violins, cellos, oboes and others, note by note on the pentagram.
Song composed for a love for a girl known in 1999, love ended very badly, indeed very badly.
Song with keyboards and electric guitar always improvised by me and Andrea Di Cesare. Guitar inspired by Carlos Santana.
Video in which I play the adage of Albinoni/Giazotto in the version of rock guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen (but without a backing track)
