Fusion Mixtape Solos: Vol.1

Learn how to flex your improv muscles and spin the fusion wheel of fortune. Across five different tracks and with Ibanez Jem in hand, Luca lays down solos with licks to lift and ideas to make your own.

Solo breakdowns

Little Tree

A feel good fusion number backed by a chunky bass line. Here Luca fuses a Danny Elfman quote with bluesy bends as he smoothly navigates the track with a real economy of motion.

Made in Caserta

Pick tapping, legato, whammy bends, super dark phrasing and a dive bomb end of unresolved proportions. A lot of notes for your buck.

Spritz

This track of two halves starts by providing a landscape for mellow tapped lines and then goes into a jazz inspired showcase of soloing debauchery. Improvised and raw and with an end that shows that you can do a lot with just one note.

Northern Borders

Luca begins this easy going track with an example of when “less is more”. Building melodies that bloom as the track continues. Then comes the flip, a tidal wave of legato, and an end that will leave you wanting to play it back again.

Trip Hazard

Rounding off the pack, this is where Luca shows you how to build to a crescendo at just the right time. As the track escalates, so do Luca’s lines. Wicked whammy licks, rock inspired phrases, hybrid picked legato and much more.

A melting pot of fusion where you’ll discover the art of blending rock, soul, funk and jazz into your lines. Grab ideas for better improv and be more at home with a variety of jamming landscapes.

This release includes five solos, five backings, five extended versions, full tab/notation in PDF and GP format and a PDF study guide that also provides notes on the backings themselves.

This is Luca’s gift to you. A soloing playlist to help you create soloing ideas you can own.
