Raffaele Diomaiuto

About me... Well.. I was born and raised in Southern Italy.. While growing up I watched and listened to some of the greatest bands of all time such as Guns & Roses, Aerosmith, and a lot of other great hair bands of the 80's. When I was 16 years old, my father gave me a classic guitar and I did not even start to use it until 9 months later.. I was idiotic, thinking that being a guitar player would make me cooler than everyone else, but what I came to find out was they actually expected me to play something! And that was something I did not know how to do at the time.. But one day, I was at my friends house when all these guys I knew started to play their guitars and make incredible music I had only heard on cd’s before! And that did it for me!! From that moment on, I had to learn what they knew! So I went home, and told my father that I wanted an electric guitar, but for obvious reasons he said “No! You have a classic guitar! Play that!” And so I did! I started to appreciate every aspect of music, not just the “cool appeal”.. I really started to love the idea of expressing your soul through sound... After 6 months, I got my first electric guitar! It was an Ibanez Rgx! From then on things were smooth sailing... Or so I thought.. Until I saw a DVD of G3, and I saw how incredible Joe and Steve could play!!... From that moment on I pushed myself, and I keep pushing myself, striving to be an immaculate musician!! So here is me.. At my best, working towards perfection, so listen to the music, feel it, enjoy it! Rock On!
