Sometimes happens that particular songs remain so obsessively impressed in my mind, to the point they force me to play them for years and years. Recently, I've found a cure for this 'disease': making a movie of that song is a great relief :-)

In no way, however, I try to reach perfection when I'm doing a video recording session, because time at my disposition is so unluckily few that in much cases the first or second take is good enough for me. Well, I do it for fun not as a professional. Then, you'll observe some videos much better than others (talking of my execution). Again, minor time to rec equal worst result.

If you wanna watch a clip you must expand its section, revealing video player, by clicking the title.

My videos are also published on my channel. If you too have an account you may add me to your contacts or your subscriptions and you'll be notified when I publish new videos.

Two To Tango (Al Di Meola)

I hope that Al Di Meola could forgive me and excuse my attempt to play one of his wonderful songs. Di Meola is one of greatest guitar players of all times, perhaps the greatest. This masterpiece joins togheter several Di Meola techniques, one of which is the partially muted strings on about half the notes played.

I wish to dedicate this musical effort to: my wife Monica (it's a mandolino !?), Corrado Paonessa (my greatest maestro), Jack Raia (from Sicilia), Francesco Fareri (a great guitar player).

For guitar players, that's how I did it: no tabs, no videos, all played notes exclusively found by my ears. And the backing piano ? Well, I have used a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT filter) on frequencies around 440 hz to remove Al guitar from the original song and get the piano :-)
