Live
From Nowhere is the 2010 CD release from Italian guitarist Steve
Beach. Solid hard rock, played instrumentally, with no words, Beach
lets his fingers do the talking on a CD that rocks hard and takes
no prisoners. Although Beach falls into the instrumental hard rock,
neo-metal rock guitar, theres some alternating and shifting
in the moods, certainly enough to make him of interest to fans of
heavy hitters like Joe Satriani, to name just one. Theres a
solid backbeat in play here, and even an occasional sax solo, but
not too much info on the CD as to who it is! Commenting on the eleven
cut CD, Beach adds, Live From Nowhere is the least 'guitar-centric'
CD I could do. No hyper fast arpeggios, no ultrasonic notes or guitarist-only
oriented licks, just my emotions. Even so, Beach finds a nice
hard rock guitar chemistry and turns up the heat when he needs to.

MUSIC
WEB EXPRESS 3000 presents STEVE BEACH When
I was 8 my grandma bought me a very cheap acoustic guitar that I started
playing when I was 10. I studied classical music for 5 years, then
I moved into the electrical guitar world. My parents recommended to
study jazz but, at the beginning, I was not so excited about that.
In the meanwhile, I was fascinated by rock/metal bands like Deep Purple,
Iron Maiden, Metallica, Van Halen, RacerX... so I started studying
all these songs by myself and discovering their styles. As far as
other instruments, I play bass guitar and piano a bit and sometimes
I enjoy playing drums.
Favorite
Guitars I
usually play an Ibanez RG Prestige guitar with DiMarzio pickups (Super
Distortion in the bridge and PAF Joe in the neck) and some others
modifications like a killswitch button, etc... and an 80's Kramer
guitar, maybe a Focus model, that I bought two years ago by chance.
For me it sounds better then some brand new one thousand dollar Stratocaster.
I mainly used these two guitars for the recording of my CD. Musical
Influences I
always tried to play and listen to every style of music, i.e., jazz,
rock, metal, electronic music, new age, etc... so I always tried to
be open-minded towards music. Upcoming
