Giuseppe is the conceiver of guitarLayers, a guitar education software designed and developed together with the software architect Alberto Lardizzone, distributed by Apple through the Mac Apple Store, used by schools, teachers and guitarists all over the world.
GuitarLayers is a professional macOS guitar learning software. It allows you to visualize and manage, scales, chords and arpeggios shapes through a fully parametric control interface.
Moreover it enables you to visualize harmonic concepts by overlapping shapes on the guitar fretboard thanks to a powerful layering system.
I’m available for seminars about guitarLayers and its application to the modern guitar education field, both for students who want to learn by using the ultimate education tools and teachers who want to empower and make more compelling and effective their lessons.
I’m also available for Skype lessons concerning modern guitar, harmony and improvisation both for intermediate and advanced students who want to learn in depth how guitar works. Contact me at [email protected]
