Francesco Fareri

Italian guitarist noted for virtuosic shred technique and technical instrumental albums such as Secrets Within.

Described in the available review as a 'Roman shredder'. The album Secrets Within features keyboards by Vitalij Kuprij (guest). Fareri is repeatedly praised for exceptional technical skill but criticised for limited melodic development and songwriting in reviews.

The review praises Francesco Fareri's extraordinary technical skill and shredding ability but criticises his songwriting and melodic development. Secrets Within contains both ultra-technical shred tracks and a second part with piano/acoustic experiments. Recommended mainly for listeners who enjoy virtuosic, technical guitar playing. Overall the reviewer finds the album interesting for technique but lacking in sustained musical sentiment.

For:Fans of shred guitar and technical instrumental metal; listeners who prioritise virtuosity over traditional melodic songwriting.
