Steve Bello is, he says, “an international guitar player/ songwriter with nine albums under his belt, as well as many endorsements. He has been a guitar player for over 40 years, turned professional in 1988, and also a private guitar/bass teacher for over 20 years.” The seven-string guitarist has a touch of the Steve Vai/Joe Satriani about his riff-heavy, widdle-friendly instrumental hard rock, and that’s no bad thing. Other guitarists, in particular, will lap this stuff up and it’s no surprise that he’s looking for film and TV placements because that would be the ideal home for Bello. The man is technically gifted and capable of jaw-dropping moments. It’ll be fascinating to see what he does from here.
