Guitar instrumental, Hard Rock, Jazz, Progressive Rock Leave a comment

Massimo Izzizzari has been blasting away on the guitar since the age of eleven, and he has studied the likes of Joe Satriani, Greg Howe, Yngwie Malmsteen, Pat Metheny et al. He has starred in numerous fusion style bands and has reached the finals of national guitar competitions in his native Italy.
