Matt Zito

I grew up in Riverdale, New York. My father was a professional musician. He played Trombone in Big Bands(Atrie Shaw, Stan Kenton) and Broadway. I first studied the piano for two years from age 5 - 6. Switched to trumpet for a while then played Trombone through Junior High and High school. Then at 17 I got my first electric guitar. A crappy Sanyo Tele copy. I started learning guitar on my own by reading some method books. Then my dad got one of his friends to give me lessons. New York session guitarist Carmine D'Amico(he's played on a huge amount of records and comercials). I studied with Carmine for around one or two years and then we moved to Las Vegas. I studied with Alex Domschot in Las Vegas. Also I've learned alot from my two friends pianist John Matteson and guitarist Jon Jacquemoud
