my CDs
My second CD, Fretwalkin', has been just released. Might some of you check the samples at Larry Kuhns's we site http://el-kay.com and give me their impressions? Oh, there's also my first one, called It's The Time.
thx Giovanni

Giovanni,
Let me start by saying that before I even listened to the demo clips, I was very impressed with the CD covers. Great ideas on both CDs. They guitar playing is amazing... that is how I can only dream of playing! I also took a leasurely stroll through your web page... excellent. I now have it bookmarked! Thanks for sharing.

thx Free,
I've used my 812 CE for some tracks of both CDs. And my Ibanez SG21 for the others. This last one is a unique item that was handcrafted for Stefan Grossman in 1981 on the design of a 1930's Prairie State. Indeed, the japanese luthiers made three but not identic items for him. Stefan had lent me this one in 1981, and left it to me as a gift in 1984. Ciao giovanni

I really like your style of playing guitar. I liken it to Django/Chet Atkins/Doc Watson stylings. You da man. Congrats on your second CD. Russ

Hi Koa, Deadhead...thankyou; Koa, I'm afraid you exhaggerated a bit, making those names...WOW! If any of you should find something that like, the tabs of the whole first CD, and most of the second are freely downloadable from my web site.

WOW! I really liked all those sound samples, so I bought both cd's. AS soon as I saw you were doing a version of Here, There & Everywhere, I was dead. That has to be one of my favorite melodies of all times. I can't wait to hear your version.

WoW! Giovanni, you are a talented man!
Can't imagine what it must be like to get sounds like that from a guitar! And your nephews are also VERY talented young men. Those are really great cover art concepts and realizations. I just ordered both CDs!

Stratokatsu and Meridian, I've to thank you too...but the warning is: THIS WILL ENCOURAGE ME IN DOING MORE!
btw, Here, There And Everywhere is Paul mcCartney's own favorite song, so you agree with an important opinion, and I love that song very much too. Giovanni
