Here’s the first version of the Dilemma tablature: Transcribed: solo part, opening arpeggio and harmonizations. The transcription refers to the version I played in the video, consequently it differs in some points from the original. I don’t exclude further updates, in this regard please let me know of any inaccuracies in the tab!** Throughout the tab you’ll find the notation V.I.P. (Very Important vibrato). Each V.I.P. has an explanatory table attached! This is to emphasize the PRIMARY importance that bending/vibrato plays in studying this piece. ...

It’s with great pride that I make official something that’s been brewing for quite some time now, let’s say about a year…I’ve joined Nightcloud, a prog band from Savona with a long and successful career: winners of last year’s Sband contest at Ju Bamboo, authors of an album (“Defeated By The Innocents”) distributed and appreciated throughout Europe, South America and Japan!! They’re all great musicians and our collaboration has already started to bear excellent fruit…music to make your ears happy! Updates coming soon =)!!

This afternoon in the studio recording nothing less than…“Wish You Were Here”! Certain songs you only truly appreciate when you sweat over them, and that’s exactly what happened to me! Moreover, it was pleasant to hear the widespread approval that my Takamine received around the studio, and especially to hear the sound that came from it! All this confirms that I made a great deal! The recording will be online soon!!

Sunday evening the 3rd in Imperia at Piazza della Vittoria there will be a concert with four groups, including Silent Sea and “Appunti di viaggio…..”, the new project by Mauro Vero, of which I have the honor to be a part!

I can’t wait to return to Oneglia, a fantastic audience stuck with us until the end…even in the rain!! Super! Friday 25th and Sunday 27th Silent Sea will play at the Bastia festival (Highway exit Albenga, first traffic light to the right, right after the bridge), good music and excellent food! Also in Bastia, Saturday 26th I’ll perform with Karnak!

Here’s the video from last night’s fantastic evening in San Domenico square in the historic center of Albenga! Your browser does not support the video tag.

Finally we’re back live with Karnak, after performing Metropolis pt1 on the “Note Giovani” stage which has given us so many satisfactions over these two years, this time we’ll be performing in the square in Albenga! And we’re doing it with a new challenge, performing a Dream Theater song that very few cover bands have in their repertoire! True DT fans should start marking this date on their calendar: July 14th..

June 9th SILENT SEA LIVE! Covering Dream Theater, Sonata Arctica, Bon Jovi, Evanescence, Nightwish, Europe, Angra! Don’t miss the metal event of the month (forget about Gods Of Metal), 10 PM at Paiper in Laigueglia!

Thursday evening I participated, at the Cavour theater, in the “panta musica” school festival in Imperia, and I had the great honor of playing with the school’s masters, I’m talking about Mauro Vero, Sergio Barletta, Alberto Garassino and others! But above all, I spent a wonderful day in the company of the aforementioned, and met world-renowned musicians like Riccardo Zegna! What an incredible experience! I feel the least I can do is thank Mauro Vero, my former teacher and now great friend, who offered me this opportunity! ...

Guys, what a fantastic evening the live show at Paiper was! A success on all fronts, and if it was possible to make it happen I feel the duty to thank some people: My Silent Sea bandmates with whom I had the honor of sharing it The venue managers The incredible audience that supported us by enthusiastically singing along from start to finish with the songs we performed! (go check out the photo section ^_^) It’s impossible to put into words everything that happened on the 5th, so I invite anyone who would like to (re)experience that moment (and maybe something more) on June 9th, again at Paiper with Silent Sea! Don’t miss it! H.M.
