Guitarist Dean DiMarzo's YouTube Channel.

I'm a guitarist and singer-songwriter, among other things, who has been playing and performing since 2004. I enjoy nearly every kind of music, from classic rock to indie, hip-hop to jazz; I'm still working on tolerating country.

My videos are mostly covers of my favorite songs. I generally play or program all the parts myself, and my videos under the name of the "Dean DiMarzo Band" showcase the one-man band side of my work.

I also post lessons from time to time, hoping to answer the questions posed to me by viewers, and spread the musical knowledge.

Outside of YouTube, I maintain a band as well as a solo project, and perform with both regularly. I am a private teacher and own a humble recording studio in which I record my band as well those of my friends. I do session work on several instruments for other musicians, and perform in pit orchestras for theaters around the Hudson Valley.

-FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS-

Q: Do you have tabs for xxxxxxxxx?
A: No. I try to make it a habit of learning songs by ear, to better train my musical instincts. As such, I don't usually have the notation on hand to send to you. I do recommend checking Ultimate-Guitar.com, however.

Q: How long have you been playing?
A: I have been playing guitar for 6 years. The other instruments (aside from drums, my original instrument) I picked up along the way.

Q: What amp/guitar/pedal is that?
A: My entire up-to-date rig is currently posted at http://blog.myspace.com/lon...

Q: Will you be my friend on Facebook?
A: No. I try to keep my personal life and work life separate, sorry.

Q: Why did you take down the "Through The Fire and Flames" video? It was AWESOME!
A: The video was in fact taken down by YouTube, as WMG felt it violated their copyright. I won't object to that, even though it meant taking a big hit to my daily view count.

Q: Will you do a cover of xxxxxxxxxx?
A: Honestly, I'm not a big request-taker. If I find a song interesting enough to post a video of, I will, but frankly it's not going to happen otherwise.
