Greetings fellow guitarists. My name is Henry (Enrico) and I’m from New Jersey (USA). I play classical as well as rock / blues. I’m one of those technically intermediate players who started playing in the early 80’s after seeing Eddie Van Halen live (1980). Spent years copying licks, but never invested the time to really “learn” guitar. Played in some bands back in the day and even took lessons from Ed King of Lynyrd Skynyrd when he was living in NJ. Our party band played one hell of a Skynyrd set!
After the kids were born I started playing classical and simply loved it. It is truly beautiful, emotional and rewarding. After hearing John Williams play Asturias, I need to learn this style. Also saw Manual Barrueco, Eliot Fisk, The Romeros and others. Enjoyed a small chat with William Kanengiser at Tower Records in Philadelphia on day after he performed there. You rockers out there, listen to some classical guitar. It really rocks! (That was so corny)
Now its the midlife crisis THANG and it time to get the music out. So its time to really learn and understand how to play. Over chord changes, modes, etc… Break out of the Pentatonic Prison.
I am so VERY pleased with my decision join Infinite Guitar. Already my playing has improved. Not so much technically but tastefully, picking much better notes to play.
Have a new band and am working on some great new pop-rock tunes with the group.
Being the soloist I MUST DELIVER THE GOODS. We’re working in the studio now and as most of you know; when its being recorded, it must be tasteful have replay value. Not just a bunch of notes. I’m getting so much more from Infinite Guitar than any other online site.
Blah blah blah…..I’m rambling for goodness sakes. Geezzzz shut up dude!
Looking forward to learning more and meeting you all online.
Ciao
Enrico
