Italian rock guitarist Fabrizio Chiruzzi, started his career in 1995 under the influences of neoclassical metal music. At the end of 1998 he started to record three videos for a personal project called ” The Dominance Factor “, those same videos where choosen for an international italian competition promoted by Hard Rock magazine and broght him on stage with Steve Vai during The Ultra Zone World Tour in Milan in 2001. In the same year he released the first EP called Gates of Doom, with which he obtained good responses by media and new collaborations with world wide famous guitarists as well as a column in the music megazine Basimedia.
In the last years his interest for two handed tapping and composing became more and more evident, he was able to open his own recording studio for producing high quality music and to experiment the high potentiality of the Ztar instrument. Searching the net for a guitar midi controller, he discovered the Starr Labs and the most amazing instrument ever seen the Ztar. The way to approach to this instrument changed his way to compose and produce music. This, influenced also the way to play an electric guitar. The no tracking system used on the Ztar had great consequences for his shred approach, being able to play fast in both instruments without any compromise. The infinite possibilities of a Ztar with an Akai S6000 and Z4 or Yamaha Motif Rack Es became real during the record of the new release called Awakening. That’s probably the best Midi controller for guitar players of the third millennium.
