"Una nuova canzone d'amore" - from "Appunti d'amore" by MAGI

This is a CRAZY preview of Donato Begotti's first guitar method, "Private Lesson: Rhythm & Lead". It gives you an idea of how COOL it could be to work and study with Donato.

Donato is the best italian rock guitar teacher by far. I had the honour to work with him in the making process of his first guitar method, beginning tracking his guitars from the scratch and mixing BILLIONS of exercise-songs he made to let the student enjoy practicing.
It's been a wonderful experience lived at his Pingo Studio in Milan (Italy) between 2004 and 2005.

A small pink house in the middle of nowhere, a bunch of good people and good friends, few instruments (mostly stringed and related) and a lot of passion. In about a week these things brought to the born of a great folk album, with a kind of scottish-mediterranean soul and a lot of good songs and tunes originally created by Donald and Jen Macneill and produced by Edward Abbiati and Roberto Diana, with few LOWLANDS's friends and members playing in it.

Mixed at The EnginEAR Studio (Milan, IT) and mastered at the Yes Master Studio (Nashville, TN).

One of the most relaxing work experience I've ever had. Definitely!
This song is taken from a 5 songs EP mixed and mastered in 5 days at The EnginEAR Studio at the presence of Tony Granella and Gaetano "Tano" Cappitta, percussionist and drummer for this band with an impressive production-oriented mind. Two guys as great as genuine they are.

Thanks to this guys some great trackings came by and the generally positive mood which permeated the studio helped mixing it keeping those positive feeling inside the EP.

Taken from my brother in arm's first solo album, which came out on June 3rd 2012. No words to say how I feel about this album. I've been waiting for it and I'm  WAY TOO proud to be part of this little precious piece of art.
It's just a first, yet important, kick in the ass for a bunch of people... ;]

I've mixed all the record at Pietro Nobile's ACOUSTIC DESIGN STUDIO (Milan, Italy) between May and April 2012.
