About Mauro Aimetti:
Many years ago he decided to try it, and after the United States, a lot of concerts, a good knowledge of the Rock and a particular interest entirely for the Funk and the Jazz, he got his bass on the shoulder. he was bound for London. An only passion - the music - and an only desire: to be able to play. Mauro Aimetti-protagonist this today @ Molteni, at 17.30 o'clock, for a seminar regarding the Funk Fingers, the "mini drumstick attached to the right hand" and with which the electric bass strings are hammered - he has succeeded. The last, great musician, which deserved him - "wow, Great job, man! You are so fast and your sound is very clean!!. ", he has told him - he has been really Tony Levin, bassist of Peter Gabriel that he has turned the Funk Fingers from technical tool into tool of cult. A particularly expensive compliment to Aimetti that arrives after the successes of the held clinic last year to the Festival of Villa Arconati (over 150 bassists coming from Italy), to the relationship with Victor Wooten, to the invitation of Phil Palmer, to London, to actually assist to the fiftieth Anniversary of the birth of the Fender trademark to the Musik Messe 2005 of Frankfurt where Mauro, called by Francesco D'Alessandro Guitars & Basses, is protagonist of some, successful, demonstrations. Its name appears, so, beside Jeff Berlin, Stuart Hamm and Jhonas Hellborg and its performances interest even the Polish SAT TV, that finally devotes him a long spot. Few months ago it has been the time of the Disma in Rimini: GALLI STRINGS, "fourth world power in the production and sale of the guitar and bass strings", they want him to the fair leader of the musical intruments where the artist from Varese leaves the sign comparing himself, even, with Linley Marthe, active bassist in the Weather Report of Joe Zawinul. And it now touches to Varese. With a seminar - title "Groove, Melody & Solo" - without doubt able to interest the musicians but also the simple curious; made of theory, practice and so many curiosities. In schedule also an original composition - "Jacob's way", devoted to his child - and, in closing, "Sledgehammer" of Gabriel sung by Bernardo Lanzetti, already historical voice of the italian Progressive Rock Band Pfm.
Since beginning of April 2007, Mauro is Official endorser of ERNIE BALL Strings alongside Tony Levin and other World of Class players.
