Peppino d'Agostino

Italian passion on six strings

An Italian guitar player who specializes in unconventional fingerstyle techniques and open tunings. He does things on a guitar that you didn't even think possible, but it never gets in the way of the music. He has a very passionate and emotional style, and melody is as important as rhythm in most of his pieces. A lot of his playing has a very energetic rhythmic side to it, and this can best be heard on his "Every Step of the Way" album, which is my personal favourite.
On top of all this, he's a very handsome guy.
