# A new huge music project is coming soon. This is just a little bit of what I did/will do soon... Now take a look at the video in the news section (kinda video-blog).
Two new courses added to the regular and online guitar courses of Skien Gitarskole:
INTERACTIVE GUITAR COURSE
A new modern and useful course using the PC!
METAL LEAD GUITAR
15 lessons: 5 regular guitar lessons/technique + rhythm + 8 guitar lessons focused on rock songs (we play and practice songs of all the rock/metal bands around, AC/DC, Metallica, In Flames, Iron Maiden, Megadeth etc...) + 2 hours recording some of this music learned during the course.
Hey Guys.
Sorry for delay, there was a while...
I just wanted to drop a couple of lines down to let you know that I am
having a new clinic next week on 11th February in Skien, Norway.
Check the poster out here for details:
I'll play some songs coming from my
CD "Evolution" and then I'll
speak about some techniques I use for playing, making sounds and
recording...
On the same day, at 3 pm, I'll be guest at "RadioGrenland"
in Skien for an interview about this upcoming clinic and I'll play a
couple of songs on the radio.
Ok, stay tuned for some "really important" news regarding a "new
endorsement" and new upcoming tours/albums (new
Arcadia album
out soon)...

CONFIRM YOUR PRESENCE ON THE FACEBOOK/MYSPACE EVENTS:
After months on the road supporting The Revolution of Evolution, with shows across Asia, the US, and Europe, we are now closing the first part of the tour with a final date in Belgium at Six K Fest alongside amazing bands and musicians.
The response to the album has been absolutely overwhelming in the best possible way. Fans and critics embraced The Revolution of Evolution far beyond my expectations, and seeing all the support has been incredibly rewarding after all the hard work.
The video for Undercurrent also surpassed 50,000 views—an unexpected milestone for a niche artist like me while my Spotify numbers finally reached the level I always hoped for.
A huge thank you to the musicians who joined me on this tour: Laurent Bernadac, Yohan Delasalle, Cello Azul, Eric Nalin, and Alessandro Cacace.
Now, it's time to slow down a bit on live gigs and focus on writing the next chapter of my prog metal journey: album number seven in my solo discography.
On the Inspiria Guitars side, we continue to grow with updated guitar models, the LP4 2.0, a new five-string bass, and fresh string packs. Check them out at InspiriaGuitars.com.
I'll also release upgraded versions of SL8: a studio edition and a live edition from the Alexandrian Metal Assault in Italy last May.
Thank you all for your support. Stay tuned for more music, gear, and updates, and follow me on social media for regular content!
