"The Big Picture" was a study on writing melodies, trying to avoid repetitions and predictability, an effort to build songs on
many different parts, revealing new, tiny details at each new listen.

going beyond guitar playing influences Eric Johnson, Vinnie Moore, George Lynch and Joe Satriani above all to achieve a personal style, always based on spacious arrangements and catchy melodies.
