"The search of the perfect sound has always been one of the top goals joining guitar players: my Dragoon 250C8G 2X12 cabinet, equipped with Celestion Alnico Gold, has become a fundamental point to this extent. Great clarity of sound, impressive dynamics and really pleasant sound: it is beyond my wildest dreams. The Made in Italy, once again, hit the target. A huge thank you to Lorenzo Ginanneschi Arnaldi and all the Dragoon team!"
MUSICAL STUDIES:
I began playing the guitar in the late 80s, as a self-taught, focusing on the rock/metal gernes and their shades (heavy metal, hard rock, progressive metal). In 2010, thanks to the support of important teachers, I started a studying plan aimed to deepen my knowledge, the theory, the harmony. This allowed me to open my world to new styles and sounds (rock blues, jazz, fusion).
