A really excellent interview with Lion Music guitar hero, Marco Sfogli. Here's just an extract. When asked what was one the hardest moments for you on the record as far as recording it? Marco Sfogli says:

Outside of mixing? (laughs) Outside of mixing, which I’m not a pro at…



I had to mix it by myself, because the rates are very, very heavy. Since the budgets for solo records are very low and mixing rates are up to the stars, I decided to do it by myself. But aside from that, I think one of the most challenging songs off the record was maybe the title track “There’s Hope” – there’s a couple of crazy tapping licks which are really hard to do, because I’ve never been a huge tapper. So I learned that part and I put it into the song, and I had to relearn it - and that’s very, very hard. That’s maybe the hardest part of the record. It’s not the whole song, usually - it’s maybe some spots in the songs that are very hard to play.
