DE-Evolution of theory

DR2 Records

Steve Senes Chittaro for now is a little-known. This “de-Evolution of Theory” is his first solo effort and hard guys!First of all, Steve is the author of all 12 songs, played all the instruments, produced and mixed a little jewel crafting instrumental. If I had to choose an adjective to describe this CD would certainly be: schizophrenic! In the best sense of the word. Indeed Senes can switch from one genre to another with a disarmingly simple, but always maintaining a wonderful feeling to be with the instrument with the song being played. The influences are varied, moving from rock to metal to country, funk, soul, the classic! The great advantage of the CD is that, even through so many different genres, the technique is never an end in itself but is put to the song. The depth, variety of sound and the crystalline production can lead the listener to get lost in the melodies embroidered guitar. In some parts then you do not disdain even a little ‘healthy headbanging. Some melodies are fixed in your head for days, for example, “Cop Show” seems to be marking 70 years with a show of his office “funk-oriented”, “High & Mighty” reminded me a bit ‘of the Doug Aldrich Electrovision, Colossus captivates you with its heavy riffs to Malmsteen and Angel with its medium pace of classical music from a tender acoustic guitar is a little gem. It ‘s strange that this guy has remained unknown until now, of course won the 2009 Guitar Superstar, but it is still the unknown factor of how a talent like that has remained in the shadows. To give you an idea of how it sounds Senes imagine taking Satriani, Vai, Van Halen and Santana, mix it together and add a little ‘originality of sound and the mix is done. Beautiful are also “Greaseball” (very old Satriani The Extremist) and Ruth (with a beautiful acoustic arpeggio). Essentially an instrumental masterpiece that will surely talk about Steve Senes in the coming years.The climb to the “Guitarway To Heaven” has started but I am convinced that our guitar hero will not need the pick of destiny to reach the summit. Dedicated to guitar purists and those who want to try listening to an instrumental album although it is not accustomed to such sounds.
