Alessandro Giglioli was born in Florence in 1980 and began to study the classical guitar at age ten, a little while before starting to play the electric. After a few years of experience in several musical contexts, including classical, pop, rock, funk, and jazz, he deepened his study of classical guitar and harmony at "Conservatorio Cherubini" (with the masters Paolo Paolini, Bruno Battisti D'Amario, Alfonso Borghese), and of electric guitar and modern music theory at "Accademia Lizard" (with Alex Stornello), graduating with praise and special mention. Over the years, he maintained a continual interest in the study of music in all of its forms, attending numerous clinics and seminars with internationally renowned musicians such as Frank Gambale, Scott Henderson, Greg Howe, Mike Stern, Carl Verheyen, Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Leo Brouwer, Pavel Steidl, Alvaro Company, Flavio Cucchi, Nuccio D'Angelo, Maurizio Colonna, Betho Davezac and others.
Currently, Alessandro collaborates with several groups and artists (M.Barsanti, G.Occhiato, AltoVolo, F.Gori, P.Salimi, Manniti di Riale, Figli dell'Assoluto...), teaches rock-blues-fusion electric guitar and music theory at "ACCADEMIA LIZARD" of Fiesole, teaches classical, modern guitar and repertoire at other schools, performs national-level guitar seminars (Acoustic Guitar International Meeting of Sarzana, Rock Campus Brescia, Electric Guitar Festival of Amandola...), is a member of Con.Di.Da.Mus (Convention on the Didactics of Modern Music), and collaborates with the didactic publishing series "LIZARD-RICORDI-UNIVERSAL". In 2005 he released his instructional video "Suonare nello stile di Allan Holdsworth" (To play in the style of Allan Holdsworth) through Playgame Music (www.playgamemusic.com).
He's now working at his first instrumental jazz-fusion CD.
