1 - When did you realize that you were a virtuoso on the guitar?
I don't think I'm virtuoso, lol. I just consider myself a very happy person to be able to do what I like. The hours of dedication on the guitar have always been a pleasure, so I think that everything else is just the result of it.
2 - Could you name a few of the guitarists who has influenced you?
Yes. I can highlight Andy Timmons, John Mayer, Juninho Afram, Edu Ardanuy and Richie Kotzen.
3 - What caught my attention is your ease with the scales and some different chords (especially in the song Revolution), did you tune down from the 6th string (E) to D? Do you play in tune much? And how is the creation of these chords come together? Or is it roughly by intuition, then you see what chords they are?
Yes, I use Drop D tuning in this song. This tuning is one of my favorites, I like to mix the tuning very much, especially the 6th string (E). The creation of these chords varies, it depends on the moment. Sometimes it's by intuition and there are times when I think of each note.
4 - Are you living in the USA? How are things and what are you doing out there?
At the moment I'm based in the USA, yes. This was already part of my plan to expand my career outside Brazil. I plan to spend sometime in here to work on it, but I will certainly be back in Brazil to attend specific event dates with the public of my country.
5 - Lari feel free to take the latest considerations, contacts, event dates and whatever else you need.
I want to thank Lado A for getting in touch. Thank you to everyone that follow my career. For more information and contact please access my website www.laribasilio.com
