Teaching

My new article on the MusicOff portal: I would like to begin this last article by thanking the MusicOff community for the interest shown in my articles and those of my colleagues. Many emails have arrived with questions related to the topics covered, which I answered with pleasure and will be happy to answer future ones. This time I want to tell you about one of the most formative experiences I’ve had the fortune to live: creating a course. The course in question is called ROC (Rock Orchestration & Composition), dealing with composition and the use of orchestra to enrich the arrangement of pop and rock songs. ...

What is ROC? ROC (Rock Orchestration Course) is a composition and orchestration course that I structured together with Donato, starting from some of his input, and from what was my post-MCR experience! In particular, my need to express myself through composition and constantly improve this aspect that I consider to be the most important for an artist in the profound sense of the term. Who is it for? For all those guitarists who want to write music more consciously, and for those who want to understand more deeply the mechanisms that composers use to write and move people with their music. ...

Yes indeed, dear friends. Starting this year I’m an instructor of two magnificent guitar courses, RLS Extreme and CCR Extreme, at the Rock Guitar Academy in Milan, via Ponte Seveso, near the central station. Donato Begotti’s school. It’s truly a wonderful place to teach, to learn and generally to “be”. Come visit me, I’m there every Thursday afternoon! For more information about the school and courses go to http://www.rockguitaracademy.com

On March 29th I’ll be holding a seminar at the pantamusica school in Imperia where I’ll demonstrate some solos and rhythms and discuss some topics that I teach in the famous RLS Extreme rock guitar course by Donato Begotti. Teaching RLS over these two years has been a great source of satisfaction for me. I’ve had (and am having) the great fortune of having students with the right mentality, who approach the course with determination and grit. And after an 8-month tour de force (it’s my duty to make the course at the limit of their endurance)…they reap the rewards! ...

The metronome includes some useful features such as delay settings a stopwatch (to measure practice time) the very useful function to change tempo and note grouping (sixteenth notes and triplets) without changing picking speed! Very useful to properly balance and mix the two practice modes! ...

Sunday, December 2nd, I’ll be presenting the RLS Extreme course by Donato Begotti at the Panta Musica school in Imperia!! The guitar meeting will begin at 4:00 PM and will be free!!
