Manetti
I learned to play guitar in early seventies.
In 1975, at the age of 17, I started to play guitar professionally both in concert and in the studio. I was lucky enough to travel in Finland and occasionally in Sweden for 10 years having a job almost every day playing music.
Travelling and playing jobs seemed very tiresome for a young player. So in 1985 I was forced to stop playing because the jobs were too hard on me, both physically and mentally. I concentrated on other things in my life instead of music and actually stopped playing for almost 20 years.
Under pressure from my friends I started to play music again a couple of years ago.
Owing to the modern digital technology Im able to produce all my songs at my home studio. I play or edit all the instruments used in each piece and I also record and mix all my music.
When playing professionally I played many different styles. I believe that this diversity can be heard as a richness in my present work. Nearest to my heart has always been Blues, especially Freddie King. Without doubt I have been influenced by all the musicians whose playing has pleased my own musical taste. In spite of my musical influences I hope and believe, that my songs do sound like Mr. Manetti and nobody else.Your musical influences
Freddie King, Albert Collins, Chris Vachon, link Wray, Leslie West, Rick Derringer, Johnny Winter, Alvin Lee, Robin Trower, Chet Atkins, Derek Trucks, Béla Fleck, Django, E.C., Jimmie & Stevie and many others.
And some Finnish great guitarist of course: Albert Jarvinen, Jukka Tolonen, Dave Lindholm, Matti Kurkinen.What equipment do you use?
Guitars: Ruokangas Twinsonic Custom, Ruokangas V.S.O.P. Plus, Hand Made In Finland
