Here's the start of the melody (!!) to one of Alex Argento's tunes from his album Ego. I'm not sure who's playing it originally. It could be Marco Sfogli - not sure. Maybe someone can clear that up for me.

I'm still working it out but this is what I have so far. Such an amazing tune and album! Check out the original!! How do people write stuff like this?


Then follows a flow of comment from Richard Lundmark and Tom

Richard: Hey Tom, great playing as usual. Just wish you'd had the voluem a bit louder as to not have so much string-flapping going on =) Indeed all guitars on this tune is Sfogli. However, the more advanced fusion guitar-extravaganza solos on this album is all played by Leo Fabrizio [Bicio] (who is even a bigger freak on guitar than Marco lol). I got a copy from Alex, were all the info is. Alex is a great musician and player. I'll be hiring his guns for my next album for sure!

Tom: Hey Richard! Thanks for that. I have retired people either side of my house so volume is a bit of an issue. Shame cos I'd love to crank my Boogie. :-( I've briefly checked out Fabrizio before. He blew my mind! Man I wish I could play like that! I'm hopefully doing some collaborations with Alex soon too. Can't wait! He's such a huge influence on me. Looking forward to hearing your next album!

Richard: hehe, that sucks :) I have an old russian woman next door that comes down and complains whenever I crank too much. However, Close-micing can work. Also, have you considered trying a H&K red Box pro or something like that? To get a speaker simulator and line in to your soundcard?

Tom: Great idea. I'll look into that. I have a H&K 20th anniversary tube amp with a red box built in but it's died on me a while ago. Hence the Boogie. I should get it fixed. It's a nice little amp. Man, I just checked out Fabrizio Leo's solo on Embrace the World again. That guy is just insanely good!
