Interview: Eric Clemenzi
By Chris Quigley


Guitarist Eric Clemenzi is the guitar/bass/guitar enemble instructor at the Pingree School in Hamilton, Mass. He also teaches over 80 students in his private studio, plays in two bands (the prog rock driven Storms Approach, and acoustic duo Kangaralien) and still found the time to write, record and produce his jaw-dropping new album Basement Tapes - An 11-track absolute masterpiece that runs the gambit from flat out shred metal to jazz, fusion and everything in between.

Basement Tapes has something for everyone, not only is it full of guitar acrobatics, it's also, from start to finish, so well written that it's incredibly accessible to musicians and music fans alike. It's rare, and refreshing, to listen to an instrumental album...

Sweet interview!

I saw a Kangaralien/Storms Approach show a year or so ago, and Eric is an AMAZING player. If I lived a bit closer to him, I know who I'd be taking guitar lessons from Definitely check out his stuff - I'm a big fan of the the new Storms Approach album (prog metal with female vocals).

New Songs

Hi Everyone!

Thanks again for all of the kind comments. Thanks to Chris for posting the player as well. If you want to hear more tunes, I just posted another full length on my myspace page(myspace.com/ericclemenzi). It is called "This is Song One" and is in two parts(the files were too big to load it as the complete 9 minute song). Thanks for listening!!
