Dario is quite simply a stunning player! After graduating from CPM in Milan and studying with, amongst others, Frank Gambale, Maurizio Colonna, Ralph Towner, Steve Trovato and Richard Smith, Dario relocated to London to join our guitar faculty.

He has more than 15 years of experience as a pro guitarist; as a guitar teacher, session guitarist (recording for various artists and TV advertising) as well as live musician (alongside world-class artists) and as a guitar tutor in private schools.

Dario is a regular contributor to Guitar Techniques and he also works for Steve Trovato's Chameleon Music, recording and writing material. Steve hits the nail on the head with this comment; "His musicianship is outstanding. I have rarely known a multi-stylist guitarist that can truly play authenticly in virtually every style of pop and electric guitar."

Dario is such a hot player that Brent Mason said "OK Dario...I've decided you are not allowed to play "Hot Wired" anymore.. You play it too good!!!! Wonderful playing :)"
