Doing a Masterclass with the BFD. I didn't even know they were filming! Btw, I played straight into the amp with no pedals, they must have added a compressor to my sound...

I'm a professional guitarist, a session player, a song writer, a teacher (at The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance....the Guitar Institute of London) and a columnist for Guitar Techniques.
The sound clip 'Hot Wired' is composed by Brent Mason and performed by me.

Brent Mason
"OK Dario...I've decided you are not allowed to play "Hot Wired" anymore.. You play it too good!!!! Wonderful playing :)"
Steve Trovato
"His musicianship is outstanding. I have rarely known a multi-stylist guitarist that can truly play authenticly in virtually every style of pop and electric guitar."
Brett Garsed
"Hey Dario! Great playing on these tracks mate! It was a great pleasure to jam with you and the other great teachers from the Institute!"
Tom Hemby
"Hey Dario, Great playing! Cool lines and wonderful technique! Hope our paths cross sometime!"
James Mitchell
"Hi Dario, Primo Pickin!!! Great versatility and technique. You sound awesome!!!"
Prof. Richard Smith, L.A. California '07
"Dario Cortese is one of a rare breed of guitarists who throw
themselves completely into a wide range of guitar styles, and are able
to perfectly extract the essence from each one."
Dario proudly endorses Ernie Ball Music Man and Timberline guitars.

I hope you'll forgive a bit of shameless merchandising. I've just released my new CD. Still doin' the Jazz thing, but this is definitely not your father's organ trio!
CD Baby's got it; there are samples, links & digital downloads on my Myspace page.
Hi dario. I just want to say thank you. Your lessons and your playing have inspired me no end and taught me so much. I just regret that i couldn't make it in for the last few weeks of college. Bloody personel problems. I hope to you see you again at some point. Thanks very much again. Dave.
