Emilio Lanza

HOT NEWS: Ed Sheeran shared my acoustic guitar cover of his new single “Bad Habits”!
.
My name is Emilio, and I was born in Italy in 1987.
I graduated with a university degree in engineering, but I just can't live without music.
Music really is my life.

My approach is to listen to songs again and again, practising and arranging them by ear.
I gained my experience and expertise both from the Internet and the street: I love going busking as well!

I love arranging pop/acoustic music on my acoustic guitar and I use my percussive fingerstyle technique for this.

I've always been self-taught, picking something up from my cousin, my brother. and friends, and above all watching as many videos as I can of the world’s greatest guitarists.

I started learning the piano when I was ten years old, and I did that for just two years.
Then, in 2004, when I was 16, I tried the electric guitar of a friend of mine, and that was it! I fell in love with the guitar.
So I took a few Jazz Guitar lessons.

After a while, I started uploading a few video covers, so I could see and listen to myself from the outside: I figured it was a good way to improve my skills and see my mistakes.

In June 2015, I started studying Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar with USA guitarist and teacher Adam Rafferty.

After 12 years working on covers, in 2015 I felt I was ready to work on my own music.

I’m Certified Apple Pro with Logic Pro X 10.4 Music Production Software, and this has really helped me with the creative process.

What more can I say? I just hope you enjoy my stuff.

Music Makes Me Breathe...

Bye all :)
