"Dean`s quite a talented individual & quite an accomplished player and composer as well. He`s got command over the instrument and mixes his killing technique with a great musical sense and wonderfully crafted guitar tones!!" - Joe Stump 2006
Horns up Shred Heads!! ! My name is Dean Cascione and I'm an American Neoclassical Shred Guitarist / Composer. I'm also a guitar instructor and give private and online guitar lessons at www.shredacademy.com . I'm always up for any cool studio work, performing at guitar clinics and of course meeting and working with fellow shredders. My debut cd "Guitar Chop Shop" will be released Early 2008 and will be available for sale here as well as my official website www.deancascione.com . In writing all the songs for Guitar Chop Shop, the main idea was to write Neoclassical tunes that incorporated shred as well as cool melodic hooks that you can take with you. My influences have a wide range from Arlen Roth to George Bellas, however My main influence is the Mighty Shred Lord Joe Stump in which I'm currently study under. Anyways, if you want to find out more about my playing style, some of the guitars I have built, influences, gear, and listen to other tunes I'm working on in the studio, please check out my official site: DeanCascione.com and the links below. Thanks again for stopping by and for all the support!- Shred on my friends!!
