The ESP Guitar Company

Italy-based ESP artist Francesco Fareri has released his sixth solo instrumental album of amazing virtuosity, and this playthrough performance is from the title track of the new album Primal Instinct. Francesco is using his ESP E-II Horizon FR-7 here, an excellent seven-string guitar that features neck-thru-body construction, a Floyd Rose Original bridge, and a pair of EMG 707 active pickups. The album, which features guest performances by other ESP-playing luminaries such as Takayoshi Ohmura and Syu, is getting great reviews, and is available wherever you buy music (and you can check it out right now on Bandcamp). Francesco has also continued his mission as a music educator, and if you want to quickly improve your own shred chops, his instructional books are available via Amazon. You can get links to all of Francesco's recent work via his official web site.
