What People Say


" Formidable Italian Shredder "
GUITAR NINE- The Undiscovered- December-January 2005 (U.S.A.)
"RICCARDO VERNACCINI is all about one's self worth and musical vision put to poetry; you can't expect any more from a person who is self-driven and wants to make their own music. This hour-long release will definately give him respect and offer alot to the guitar community inside and outside of Europe. Worth checking this guy out, so drop him aline or two!"
Wayne Klinger-FAR OUT2005-2006 Quintessence Metal Webzine (U.S.A.)
"..Wow, this is a fantastic instrumental hard rock cd! Italian guitar player, Riccardo Vernaccini, showcases his brilliant fretboard works on the guitar, and shreds in complex style"
PILGRIM WORLD Prog/Power Metal Website (Japan)
"..I'd recommend it to fans of Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and so many others. I really think Riccardo is on the verge of a promising recording future and I'm glad to have been able to hear his music before (here comes the hype) he becomes a world-wide guitar legend!"
Ron Fuchs- PROGNAUT June 2006 (U.S.A)
"..Fans of instrumental music are well advised to get in touch with Riccardo as the 12 cuts on "..At Last!" provide an adventurous musical journey along different styles (rock , jazz, pop) with plenty of melody and executed by someone with an obvious talent for the main instrument on this disc: the guitar."
Peter Schoonooghe- ROCKREPORT January 2006(Belgium)
"... Four Stars, A Must Have !"
Matt Cafissi- GUITARCHEF (Italy)
"Clearly influenced by 80s guitar virtuoso MALMSTEEN, VAI, SATRIANI, VAN HALEN, this guitarist has the skills in making this CD release an interesting record for fans of instrumental guitar orientated Hardrock a la mentioned acts. Then better check it out!" (Points: 8.0 out of 10)
STRUTTER MAGAZINE 2006 ( Holland)
"..That said I still strongly recommend this CD for guitar freaks. I hope Riccardo can find a good band to fully show his talents, as there is a great potential that must not be left unused !!" ( Rating: 84 /100)
Gert Ouderits-DIGITAL STEEL (the Netherlands)
"..Tudo o que ele apresenta aqui requer talento e muito feeling (coisa que o distinto usa e abusa na suave “Walking Beneath The Moon” e em “Secret Side”, que mostram sua maestria em compor temas mais chegados para o hard-pop)..." (Points:8.0 out of 10)
WHIPLASH Webzine March 2006 (Brazil)
"...Yes he can play his instrument competently, but he is a musician first, and knows the difference between creating music as opposed to showing his speed and technical skills over some bland backdrop of boring non-descript rhythms.He writes interesting music, and can arrange some unique guitar parts that give him his own identity. Here is an example of a musician that has some great ideas, solid skills, that could use some more collaboration at a more professional level."
