Italian Guitar teacher from basic to advanced students (Italian native speaker and English)

I am an Italian Jazz Guitarist based in London with over 30 years' experience performing and teaching.

I have played with many renowned Italian jazz musicians such as Fabrizio Bosso, Pietro Tonolo, Massimo Moriconi, Massimo Manzi, Massimo Morganti and I have performed with some important London based musicians such as Martin Speake, Mikele Montolli and Keith Waithe.

I have also performed in several important Jazz Festivals in Italy: in Rome, Turin, Terni, Matera, Ancona, Padua, to mention a few.

I graduated in Jazz Guitar from Fermo Conservatory (I have got a BMus Jazz Guitar Hons).

I have recorded 5 albums: two as a co-leader (Solarino/ Manzi quartet/quintet- Tell me the story and Qube Quartet- Waiting) and three as a side man (Mp's Jazzy Bunch-Lazy Saturday, Mp's Jazzy Bunch feat. Fabrizio Bosso- Do you agree? and Marco Tranchina & Smät Five- More than Ever). I also recently released a single as a co-leader of the Cloud Club with Scottish bassist Craig MacFadyen called "Dogor's Flight featuring the great NY drummer Ari Hoenig.

I also studied with John Parricelli, Gilad Hekselman, Chris Crocco, Greg Burk and Massimo Morganti.

-My guitar lessons will be focused on all kind of knowledge and skills that a professional musician need to have to express freely themselves in music art.
That includes: Theory (from beginner to advance level), Study of all the different technique of the guitar (arpeggio, alternate picking, legato, sweep picking etc.), chords and scales (from beginner to advanced), Sight reading (solfeggio, reading single note and reading charts), deepening of different styles of music (rock, funk, jazz etc.), transcriptions, harmony analysis, Improvisation in different genres, developing your own voice, arrangment and compositions.
