I beguin to play acustic guitar at 7 years old , first the easyest songs of Beatles and Rolling Stones ,few years later Led zeppelin,Cream, Hendrix. Then comes in my life the music of C.S.N.& Y. that had a strong influence on my way of playing and sing. That music sand me strait-on to the acustic blues . Ry Cooder ,Doc Watson, Leo Kottke, Rev. Gary Davis , even Oregon ,Pentangle and many others, , 'till back to the Delta Blues that for me it's quite same indian raga. I 'm a professional musician since 1982 playin' in many bands and many kind of music. That job give me the change to travel a lot in many country , so i've been livin' in England and Usa for several years influencing my music. Since the 2000 I start to work at my own acustic arrangement of my favorite covers Delta Blues with Finger-Style and slide and that becomes my own show called "The Blues & Myself " Today i live in Lugano CH , i 'm playin' also with the swiss musician Marco Zappa ( www.marcozappa.ch) and i recorded the guitars in his last cd " In giro una vita ". We also have a show dedicated to the Beatles with acustic arrangement called " Beatles Special Guitar " arrangement for acustic guit. ad bouzuki. I ' m learnin' everyday from the Blues , and the first lesson was that if you want to play it first you've got to get it into your heart...
