Hello, and thanks for coming to the site!!

I am happy to announce that my new CD, "The Axeman Cometh", is completed, and will be available for purchase any day now! I am very happy with the results, and want to thank Doug Gherna for engineering and helping produce the record. It is a good mix of contemporary electric rock guitar styles, including some straight ahead groove rock and some neo-classical shredding. For any of you fans of the music of Satriani, Malmsteen, Schenker, Frank Marino and the like, I think you are in for a treat.

Teaching has been busier than ever, and we have been doing a few gigs with ESP. I am also preparing for some all instrumental shows, and will be doing some performances of music from the CD with backing tracks, and some with live band. Also, there will be links online to clips from the CD, either here or at www.LouDiBello.com, which will be up and running soon, if it is not already when you read this.
