Welcome to my page! I'm Tommy, an Italian guitar player. I play in a brand new melodic metal band for a major italian label and I also play with some old components of Shining Fury in a New Metal oriented project. Finally, I'm working to my solo project, a mix of rock, metal and fusion called "Tommy Cecchini Group". I played in Shining Fury, a famous power/speed italian metal band and in RainEssencE, an Italian Progressive Metal Band. We recorded our promo cd, called Hydrosphere. With Speed Of Light I played for Amnesty International tour 1999 and we won a lot of prizes for Best Act and Best Songs with the cd "The silent dawn of awareness". I was born in 1982 in Lucca, Italy. I graduated in July, 12th 2006 in Electronic Engeneering at the University of Pisa and now I'm PhD student. I play guitar since I was 9. I began taking private lessions and after some years of intense study I began the Music Academy 2000, a famous guitar school in Bologna, the italian branch of Los Angeles Music Academy and ACM Academy of Contemporary Music (Guildford, England). In 2005 I finished the Guitar Specialist Master Class with Giacomo Castellano. In 2007 I graduated in guitar at Professional Level (Higher Diploma in Music Performance), the last one. I studied with Massimo Varini, Giacomo Castellano, Giuseppe Bosi, Francesco Lesi, Alberto Bergonzoni, Roberto Priori, Aldo Betto, Christian Buoro and Andrea Marco Ricci. I work with "FxCase" to help in the development of custom guitar products and I write for the guitar and the home-recording section of "Jamming", an italian magazine on music. I also collaborate with "Dragoon", an italian custom guitar cabinets producer. I play exclusively Ibanez guitars, Carvin Amps, FXCase effects and pedalboards, InTune picks and Dragoon cabinets. I attended a lot of Master Classes with John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Frank Gambale, Carl Verheyen, Mike Stern, Doug Doppler... and many more!Thanx to everyone, especially to my family...
I hope to meet you soon!
Let's keep on rockin'!
