Today I start a new series of videos on my YT channel, all dedicated to scales, in particular exotic scales.
This first episode is focused on the Indian “Pantuvarali”.
You're gonna find a detailed explanation and demo of all the positions of the scale, arpeggios, chords and related improvisation. In the next episode we're gonna go through some of the licks.
Here we go with a new video. In this episode I am showing a bunch of licks based on the "Pantuvarali Scale", infact it is important to learn the scale but it is more important to be able to make music with it...
In this video I explain how to "play out of the box" and be creative!
The song I played in this video is a new arrangement of "SL8", written on purpose for my upcoming partecipation to Wcopa 2022 which will be held in L.A. in a couple of weeks. You can find the original recording of this track on Spotify & Apple music.
Sorry for the lackness of updates here, however if you follow me on the social media you are very good updated about my music "journey". Long story short.
I have been to China twice last winter and the US (Namm) and Germany (Guitar Summit).
As some of you might know I am working on my new solo album. I've just released the single "Elan Vital". Listen on all the Music Streaming Services and check out the official videoclip.
The new album will be released in the fall of 2025 by FusionCore Records. Title, cover and release date will be out soon.
