About Fabio

Musician, composer and mathematician based in Bristol, my music projects range from jazz to hip-hop to contemporary classical music to rock to pop to folk to avant-garde. Wide experience from live performances, studio releases under my name, studio releases as a session musician. When I started playing guitar (12 years ago now) I was fully into metal, which made me make huge progress in guitar technique in a very short time; then I gradually started exploring improvisation, from blues to jazz to free jazz, and classical music composition, in a combination between a very personal path, just following my unbiased taste, and a few internationally recognised teachers that include Enrico Merlin, Peter Bernstein, Elliott Sharp. I would now call myself a jazz guitarist, although what makes me a unique musician is the curiosity and the creativity to go completely beyond genres. I like applying ideas from all sorts of influences and create my own. Although if I need to provide specific guitar playing, e.g. in traditional jazz, funk, R&B or folk, nothing too fancy is gonna come out of me! I'd like to share the wide experience and versatility I acquired by playing guitar. Moreover, I'd be happy to share my music theory knowledge, which places myself above the average jazz musician (from knowing classical music theory and harmony) and the average classical musician (from knowing jazz theory and harmony). My theoretical experience comes from a combination of studying and thinking. I want you to think rather than memorise, because it makes everything easier, quicker and more fun! I also play flute (also available for flute lessons btw), classical guitar (available for lessons), piano, didgeridoo, saxophone. I've got a PhD in maths.

About the lesson

I've been into music performance and composition for so long through a unique combination of where my own brain brought me, the resources I studied from, and a few but worldwide famous jazz guitar teachers. I'd like all this content and energy to be available, not just through my fingers or the music I write. I want to SHARE and I've got so much I'd like to tell you about that you can't find anywhere else, because a PhD in maths also means that I know where the shortcuts are, how to study more efficiently, and THINK and EXPRESS yourself rather than memorise and imitate. All genres and levels! Every lesson is tailored and flexible and would cover some of the following, from entry level to advanced: - starting playing guitar: open chords, transition between chords, learning your first song, posture, coordination between hands, showing how fun guitar is, motivating kids - guitar technique: jazz chord shapes, rhythm, alternate picking, economy picking, sweep picking, tapping, jazz comping, funky comping, metal comping, classical guitar, tremolo picking, routine exercises, use of the metronome, use of the pick, use of your fingers, expression and dynamics - music theory: notes on the fretboard, classical harmony, jazz harmony, triads construction, jazz chord construction, quartal harmony, major scale, minor scale, major scale modes, melodic minor/altered scale modes, atonal scales, atonality and 12-tone compositions, chord notation, reading a score (all of this also applies to non-guitarists) - improvisation: blues, traditional jazz, jazz standards, modal jazz, modern jazz including funk, hip-hop, how to build your own licks, how to incorporate modern ideas such as altered and whole tone scale, free jazz/free improvisation, how to interact with a band, the importance of silence, how to listen - guitar tone: dynamics, vibrato, bending, overdrive, use of the guitar pedals - experimental guitar: extended techniques, advanced use of the pedalboard - songs: rock and pop songs, jazz standards - history of music: classical music (middle-age, renaissance, baroque, classical, romantic, 20th century), jazz, rock, metal, experimental music, world music, folk music, current music scene in the UK and the world - philosophy: how to be expressive, relation of music with other forms of art, creativity, how to manage performance anxiety, analysis of important pieces, how to cross genres, exploring personal taste and goals - composition: writing songs with verse and chorus, jazz chord progressions, harmonisation, adding a melody to a chord progression, write for loop station, how to interact with a band, atonality, 12-tone techniques - music industry: networking with the musicians of your area, getting gigs, how to find the right contacts - recording: DIY, recording in a studio, producing a track, the importance of having or not having a click, the importance of recording live or not -guitars and gear: Gibsons, Fenders, how to choose your guitar, pickups, electronics, guitar pedals, choosing your strings, changing strings, intonation and action, transistor amps vs valve amps vs amp modellers - maths, science and music: the arithmetic of notes, equal temperament, just intonation, alternative systems and equal temperaments, microtonality, Fourier theory and harmonics, acoustics, psychoacoustics, answering the question why we are using 12 notes (all of this also applies to non-guitarists).

I'm currently having jazz guitar and theory lessons with Fabio. He is a great teacher with a clear and engaging style. We have already covered a lot of new concepts and i'm looking forward to solidifying them and learning more. I always leave each lesson with a clear idea of what to practice and explore.
