ABOUT
PIETRO VENZA

AUTHOR
Pietro fell in love with the guitar at a young age and has been hooked ever since. He started gigging when he was 14 years old and hasn’t yet put his guitar down. 

He’s performed in every possible situation, from weddings to pubs, to big stages in front of thousands and even on live TV. He wants to spread the word about the guitar and teach other people how to channel their passions and creativity into the instrument. 

While he too understands that practicing can be boring, he wants to help you find ways to spice up your current routine so you can master a new skill each week!

Pietro has so much experience he brings here. In 2018, he was nominated for a Presidential Scholarship at Berklee College of Music, which means he was in the top 25 musicians (yeah, not just guitarists) from across the world auditioning that year. 

He also has a Bachelor’s and a Master’s Degree in Jazz & Pop Guitar Performance from Saint Louis College of Music in Rome, he was also promoted to the teacher of his fellow students there.

Why am I giving advice on Guitar Space?

I love music, that’s why I chose to become a professional guitar player. I profoundly enjoy talking about this beautiful instrument at all times, especially when I can share my knowledge and experience with the people that love it as much as I do.

What is my favorite guitar?

My Custom Shop Fender Stratocaster (1963 reissue).

What’s the best piece of advice I’d give to a beginning guitarist?

Don’t worry if the guitar seems almost impossible to play right now, keep your head down, and don’t stop playing and practicing, you’ll sound awesome before you even know it!

What song am I learning how to master now?

I’m not learning any specific song right now, but I’m always working on my Jazz and Blues-based improvisational skills.

What was the first song I learned how to play?

I’m not sure, but it was probably an Italian pop song from the 70s, called “La Canzone del Sole” by Lucio Battisti (“The Sun Song” . . . it doesn’t translate well”.)
