This month my friend and great musician Vitalij Kuprij passed away. He was my musical hero for many years and I had the privilege to be his friend, to meet him face to face and to have him guest at my house few times. He played in front of some of his shredding with crossing finger or other crazy things. I feel very sad for that, he was young only 49 and he was a genius on piano. I remember when we met for the first in Rome and visited Colosseo by night and then in the Hotel he gave me all the Artension's CDs he had with a t-shirt and some solo albums... but as a fan I already had all his albums! He invited me to play a short solo on his fouth solo albums with some players out of this world including me like them and it was incredible for me. In the next years he played on my 2 albums, I created for him his official website and I did the covers for his classical albums and Glacial Inferno... it was such a great pleasure for me, we were friends but I was still a fan boy with him! In the last year we email only few time, he was a lot on tour with TSO but you know sometimes you just need to know all is ok but when I heard this news I was completely shocked and everything is now so different. Everyday I spent a part of the day thinking about him, about he is not here anymore, he won't write new music and the world lost a great musician. Goodbye my friend.I just want to share with you these few videos I recorded at my home in 2005 and in the next year, it was a dream come true to have him near me! Thanks for your music, thanks for all you give to me.

During the last decade the music business is changed so much, I remember the time there were record label to send demo tapes before to have a CD released or searching on youtube some cool and interesting video was more easy because there weren't so many players on internet. I build my first website around 1997/1998 on the "geocities.com" service and then I bought my own domain. I don't feel old, I'm just 45! but the young players out there are totally amazing, I see guitarist so great and I'm so happy to see them! I'm trying to update my social channels weekly... I try of course!I receive some emails from people who remember me from my first solo album "Suspension" and it surprises me so much, that album was something more of a demo but it had a big feedback thanks to Guitar9.com and more websites! I'm working on a new video of that song and more instructional books you can search for them on ALL amazon stores, no matter where you live you can find a copy in .com, .it, .de, .es, co.uk and many more!
Have a great time and Enjoy life!
