About me

Hi there, my name is Alessio, I’m 28 years old, and I’ve been living in the Netherlands for the past four years. I originally moved here from Italy to pursue a Master’s degree in European Criminal Law, but life ended up taking me in a completely different direction.

During my time in the Netherlands, an activity that had started almost by chance through my playlist “Best Acoustic Guitar Songs” gradually turned into a real full-time job, eventually pushing me away from the legal career I had always imagined for myself.

So, on March 17th 2024, I decided to create All of Acoustic, a platform dedicated to fingerstyle acoustic guitar, acoustic music playlists, and the promotion of independent artists.

Today, my work can be divided into four main areas.

First, playlist curation, where I try to support as many independent artists as possible through acoustic guitar-centered playlists.

Second, this blog, where every month I publish blogposts about the best acoustic covers, songs, and albums released throughout the month, with the goal of giving visibility to the artists I discover and listen to every day.

Third, my Spotify artist profile, where I release my own solo acoustic guitar arrangements of famous songs.

And finally, YouTube, where I publish weekly acoustic guitar tutorials with tabs on screen, alongside monthly tutorials with voice explanation focused on songs built around a single repeating fingerpicking pattern (the ‘One Pattern Songs’ series). The related tabs are then available on Patreon and Shopify.

Thanks for reading and welcome to All of Acoustic :)
