Before starting lessons, I had very little, if any, foundation in improvisation. I discovered Alessandro through a live stream, and right then I said, “Holy sh**, I want to play like that!” hearing his version of Falling Up by Allen Hinds.

So I started studying everything related to improvisation on my instrument, which can sometimes be peculiar compared to other instruments where players tend to have a clearer awareness of what they are playing.

Because of this, Alessandro always had me work on awareness through foundational, transversal material that many guitarists overlook because they consider it “basic”: triads, seventh chords, arpeggios, diatonic and non-diatonic cycles, Drop 2, etc.

A true teacher isn’t someone who teaches you a scale to memorize, but someone who gives you the tools to work on your own; a teacher isn’t an ATM. It often happens that you take lessons from someone and remain at the exact same level, simply because you didn’t work the right way.

Technique-wise, I feel noticeably stronger than average (not to brag), but I practiced technique intensely during high school, and now I feel confident tackling any passage I want with ease.

It is crucial to know how to draw tone, timbre, dynamics, and phrasing out of the notes, another hugely underestimated area that I worked on extensively, and another massive advantage.

I discovered Alessandro on social media, and he immediately made the impression of a highly competent and knowledgeable mentor.

I wasn’t starting from scratch, as I had already been playing for about 7 years, but I reached out to him because I felt stuck and was no longer seeing progress.

I’ve always loved improvisation, so I wanted to improve key areas like timing, phrasing, and fretboard visualization.

Not only did I achieve those goals, but I also improved significantly in other areas such as touch, technique, and overall instrument control. This was possible because Ale takes nothing for granted and explains every single area for potential improvement.

His methodology is the best I’ve experienced so far: right from the start, he mapped out a clear, structured roadmap designed with attention to every detail.

In short, I wanted to make a real leap in quality, and that’s exactly what happened. I highly recommend studying with Alessandro, who, beyond being an exceptional teacher, is a wonderful, humble, and passionate person..

I started from a solid technical foundation, but with an execution-driven mindset rather than one focused on making my own voice heard.

The goal was, and still is, to develop technical, theoretical, and analytical skills during practice, in order to become a musically present and conscious player.

It is a long-term journey: the results, beyond the practical aspects like fretboard visualization, technical refinement, and understanding the intrinsic geometry of the neck, stem from a fundamental shift in mindset.

In my opinion, what truly sparks the transformation is this change in perspective: the person holding the instrument becomes a far more mature musician.

The method is conceptually simple, but with a clarity that opens the doors to creative application of the provided tools.

As a result, it goes beyond a standard study method, becoming a genuine musical learning framework, adaptable to basic concepts as well as the most complex ones.

It is clear, easily accessible, and consistently concise.

On a personal level, having had the honor and pleasure of taking 1-on-1 sessions, Alessandro is genuine and never speaks down to you; on the contrary, he is always ready to discuss and exchange ideas. Dialogue is an integral part of teaching, and with Alessandro, it happens completely naturally.

I recommend to ANYONE looking to discover their own voice on the guitar, and to shift their mindset to take the next step in their musical journey, to work with him, both through Patreon and, above all, 1-on-1 coaching.

My journey with Ale began in September 2022, with a clear objective: passing the entrance exam for the Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Guitar at the Conservatory of Milan.

From day one, I felt completely at ease, allowing me to be fully transparent about my theoretical gaps and mechanical bottlenecks on the instrument.

As we moved forward, Ale guided me step by step, backing every session with proprietary study materials, targeted exercises, and crystal-clear actionable instructions for my weekly home practice.

The environment he creates during coaching makes the entire learning process deeply engaging and manageable, even when tackling the most complex musical obstacles.

Beyond pure technique and harmony, Ale instilled a true sense of discipline and a professional mindset that I still rely on daily across various musical environments. His extraordinary musical literacy is a massive added value, as every single lesson is enriched with strategic listening recommendations tailored to the topic at hand.

His commitment went far beyond standard instruction: on the day of my admission exam, Ale was right by my side and accompanied me on guitar throughout the entire audition, providing invaluable support and immense confidence.

Even though my lessons ended in June 2023, we still maintain a great professional relationship and a genuine friendship.

Love you, bro!

I chose Alessandro as my mentor when I decided to prepare for the Conservatory of Bergamo entrance exam in Pop/Rock Guitar.

I was finishing my Bachelor’s degree in Classical Guitar and, having been entirely self-taught on modern electric guitar up to that point, I was looking for someone who could help me streamline my knowledge and master both foundational concepts and advanced mechanics. Needless to say, studying with Alessandro proved to be the single best decision I could have made to achieve my goals.

From our very first session, his teaching methodology was remarkably clear, structured, and free of ambiguity. He immediately identified my specific bottlenecks and guided me step-by-step toward internalizing concepts I previously thought were out of reach.

Above all, what made this mentorship truly transformative is the overarching mindset he instilled in me regarding practice, fretboard mastery, and music in general. That framework has become my personal benchmark whenever I tackle a new topic on my own—as well as when I pass knowledge on to my own students.

Following my time studying with him, recommending Ale became second nature whenever someone asked for a top-tier guitar mentor. This applies both to his didactic efficiency and his interpersonal approach: he is an exceptional individual who builds the precise rapport required for genuine, accelerated growth.

And honestly, guys… I managed to catch one of his live shows. His playing is terrifying—unreal level!

If you’re on the fence, trust me: study with Ale. You will not regret it.

I started working with Ale in July 2024 because I felt a strong need to challenge myself with new perspectives, alternative approaches to practicing the instrument, systematic fretboard mapping, quick note identification, and modern improvisation concepts.

From day one, the connection was instant. The experience has been exceptional, helping me elevate multiple areas of my playing—with a major focus on refining my technical execution and mechanics.

Beyond making me a stronger guitarist, Ale helped me evolve into a far more conscious musician, building true confidence in my abilities. He is the kind of mentor who goes beyond simply delivering information; he gives you the framework to find your own path and define your identity as a musician.

One aspect that genuinely impressed me is the quality of the online environment. Ale utilizes a top-tier professional setup that makes every detail crystal clear. To be honest, I never felt the absence of in-person lessons—the online delivery was consistently immersive, efficient, and highly effective.

If there’s any downside at all, it’s simply not being able to hang out and jam together in person more often.

Over time, our student-mentor dynamic evolved into a strong professional collaboration and friendship. Beyond being an exceptional guitar mentor, Ale is someone you can have deep conversations with about music, life, and personal goals, always leaving you with actionable insights to reflect on.

My advice is straightforward: TRUST HIM. You will not regret it.

Appreciate you, Ale!
