My young students playing Riptide by Vance Joy

They are sisters.
We recorded this one some months ago.

Bohemian Rhapsody guitar solo MADE EASY - tutoriel en français

I have to admit I'm not a huge fan of Queen and Brian May, but this solo is absolutely great.
Some students needed a version for their School Party, and here you are. 

Disclaimer for advanced players: you wanna bend a lot of notes more than this, but this is a transcription for mid-skilled players. Read the video description on YouTube.

If you need a backing track to practice, voilà:

HAVE FUN!

Lou Reed - Satellite Of Love - Acoustic guitar cover

I do love this song so much...
Some songs are not hard to play or sing, but they've got an unrepeatable strength.
That's the case.

L'anno che verrà - versione di Ruggero Catania del bellissimo brano di Lucio Dalla (caro amico ti scrivo)

Ho lasciato il mio paese d'origine, l'Italia, parecchi anni fa, per trasferirmi in Belgio.
Questo brano l'ho registrato nel 2016 per il compleanno di un amico che ormai abita a mille chilometri di distanza. Anzi, sono io che abito a mille chilometri di distanza.
Un brano non semplice col quale confrontarsi, ma è la questione emotiva che mi spinge a pubblicarlo, più di quella artistica.
Spero possiate emozionarvi come ho fatto io, e cantarla anche voi a un amico lontano.

My students will play at Winterfeest - Schaerbeek

Some of my students are going to play some songs this Saturday at 20h.
Good luck you all.

Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti - Signorina Primavolta (guitar cover) - Talentarm

💙

I love this song, and the #Talentarm contest on Instagram was a nice reason to try my own version.

Pink Floyd "Mother" for a guitar solo version on Facebook - support indie artists!

If you are a Facebook addict, here you are the Facebook version of the previous video.
About self-promotion, it is pretty difficult being strong on all different social networks.
One of the things you can do for helping independent artist, is comment and share their works.
I don't feel comfortable to admit it, but yes, since I'm trying to create a community around my works, a simple share from my follower is sweet as a honey cup.
Love you all, folks!

"City Of Stars" (La La Land) - cover performed by the young Ida Marie

My young student Ida Marie, 12 years old at that time, some months ago.
It's a pleasure to arrange, play and mix for a voice like that.
The original version of "City Of Stars" can be heard in "La La Land", the 2016 American musical romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by Damien Chazelle.

Skinny Love cover - between Bon Iver, Ed Sheeran and Birdy

"My Students" Episode 2

Auriane is 13, I'm her guitar teacher but she really wanted sing this one, and here you are.
The funny thing is that she knows that song for the Birdy pop-piano version while I'm much more into the Bon Iver one, and it took me a while to recognise it when she came to me with the pop one.
Last but not least, the good boy Ed Sheeran version could please both of us.

Elle(s): le théâtre de Sylvie Landuyt en France cette semaine

J'ai composé les musiques de cette pièce avec grand plaisir.
Je joue de la guitare électrique sur scène avec les 2 comediennes Sylvie Landuyt et Jessica Fanhan.
Cette semaine on est en France pour 2 spectacles:

4 Novembre - Le Polaris, Corbas
5 Novembre - La Soyerie, Faverges


Voilà les 3 reprises qu'il y a dans la pièce, et le morceau à moi qui termine le spectacle:

Romano Nervoso: confermate le date in Italia

A breve suonerò in Italia con Romano Nervoso.
Casa dolce casa.
Cominceremo proprio da Torino, da Spazio 211, uno dei migliori rock club della penisola, per me pieno di ottimi ricordi.
Sarà un onore.

26/10 Torino (TO) - Spazio 211 - http://www.spazio211.com
27/10 Seregno (MB) - Honky Tonky - http://www.honkytonky.it/
28/10 Varese (VA) - L’arlecchino -https://www.facebook.com/larlecchino.showbar
29/10 vittuone (MI) - Shout Live - http://www.shoutvittuone.it/

In questo video io non compaio, ero appena entrato nella band,

Però le chitarre che ascoltate sono arrangiate e suonate da me al Koko Records non lontano da Liegi, qui in Belgio.

Mi sono divertito non poco a doppiare il riff iniziale.

Stessa Telecaster, stesso ampli VHT, ho solo differenziato l'ottava del lick che chiude il riff.

Bomba!

Assolo, bello caldo pure quello, il Turbo RAT a manetta non tradisce mai!

Il brano è una cover di Fred & The Healers, progetto del noto chitarrista belga.

How to play Metallica "Hardwired" at the guitar - #1 - Advanced level Tutorial (+ Presonus Studio One Click trick)

If you're just looking for chords and riffs you can find it everywhere on the web.

This is a slightly different kind of tutorial, focusing on the sound, the position you should use, how to practice, how to make your riffs sound as close as possible to the original version, and how to put all together in the easiest way possible, since the main goal during a live show is Don't stop the flow!

I had a great time yesterday playing this one!
There are a lot of different parts to learn.
The positions on the freatboard are not difficult, but it's a challenge for the right hand, instead!
Also it was not so obvious for me to learn the arrangement (even if I know Metallica wrote much more complicated songs) and keep focusing on each single part with the same power and timing!
Don't try to detect the right tempo in Pro Tools or what since there is not a single tempo start to finish, the tempo flows and it is on "on grid" unless you warp the whole song, and please don't do it!
Or you should write an automation lane on the master tempo track, and I don't think it worth the effort, I just add a 2 bars count-in click to start at the right point.
Here the "rendering" click option in Presonus Studio One 3 made my day, since I wrote down the audio click on a track just between loops marker. Just select 2 bars before the song, render the click, disable the real click and you're done!
About timing and playing, since it is a fast tempo and since it is played "live" and not "on grid", I really need a pair of headphones to match the song and playing along the song with a good amount of glue. Listening to it just from speakers is a little bit confusing, specially during the fastest parts, where your ears tend to identify the snare beat with the downbeat, while it's still the upbeat, and it is not so obvious to catch the perfect sync.
Headphones helps to be more "in the song" and play with the band.

Thank you all, see you next time!

Jimi Hendrix reborn: Brandon "Taz" Niederauer - Voodoo Child

I have to be honest.
Usually I don't care about children playing incredible guitar parts.
There's a kind of "autism" that most of the time makes me feel sad.
And no, I'm not jealous.
I just think they're loosing their childhood reaching non-human results.
Think about all the young oriental children playing impossible parts just as they were robots, or all the young girls singing in stupid talent shows exactly as they were at the Opera, looking at their parents among the crowd.
OK, well done, I just don't care.

But THIS guy!!!!
What the hell.
I'm not sure I can explain that difference to someone who's not deeply involved into guitars and rock'n'roll stuff.
THIS guy is feeling every single note he's playing.
Damn, he's playing rock'n'roll and that's all!
His technique is excellent, but it's not what I'm talking about.
His feeling, his touch, his playing, his improvisation... I mean... he plays way way better than the most of the guitar player I know.
And he's not a robot, he's just a fucking good blues guitar player.
Good luck, my friend.

And thanks to my cousin Claudia, I didn't know him before she sent me this video.
