Fabrizio Chiruzzi - The Dominance Factor Demo CD Rating: 6,5 This demonstrative CD is really different than what everyone could expect from a demo CD. It is, rather than a CD with "normal" songs and production, a CD-Rom, with video files of Fabrizio playing some unnacompanied solos and him soloing over basic rhythm tracks. Fabrizio shows interesting technic in alternate and sweep picking, playing licks from some of the masters of shred metal, like M. Angelo, Y. Malmsteen and others. He also shows the M. Angelo influence on his way of playing with his left hand upside down the fretboard, what surely is a cool fact visually, although isn't anything for musicality. And, musicality is what lacks here many times. But, as there aren't real compositions, it isn't a surprise. If Fabrizio can develop good songwriting as he developed his technic, can become a very good name in the guitar scene.

We've got to hope that Chiruzzi spends the next four years shedding his influences, working on his compositional chops and putting that super technique to use on some truly original recordings--this is a remarkable young man. Fabrizio is a twenty-two year old guitarist who started playing guitar at the age of eighteen. He currently
