Happy Birthday to Andy, who turns 57 today! Andy started out as a glam metal guitarist for the band Danger Danger. He toured the world with them opening for Kiss and Alice Cooper.
Andy is now highly respected for his melodic playing and mastery of a broad range of styles, including jazz and fusion.
A few years ago, TAGA's Michael Kaplan met Andy and recorded this fun and informative
interview:
Giovanni arranged a medley showcasing some of Andy's most virtuosic and technically demanding music. This includes the themes from "Groove or Die" and "Electric Gypsy".
To hear more of Giovanni's fantastic playing, be sure to check out his renditions of Arpeggios from Hell, Another Day, Satch Boogie, Al di Meola, and November Rain.
