Quick Resume: Vince Genella has been working consistently in the music business for over 20 years. Recording, performing, teaching guitar and working as a clinician at trade shows and music stores all over the country. He first picked up his fathers guitar Friday January 28th 1977 and has since studied under a number of teachers. Vince admits his taste has developed into something far too broad to be identified by any single guitarist or style of music. "I listen to everything, not just the guitar; woodwinds, brass, keys, vocal phrasing, anything I can learn from!" This variety has given his style of writing and playing a depth and durability that does not fall apart after the third or fourth listen. His instrumental compositions are led by searing melodic technique and passionate, fiery leads through mature song-oriented hooks and progressions. Vince combines straightforward lead guitar with a showman's flair to create a dynamic on-stage presence. Currently he is working on his own full length Instrumental CD while maintaining a full teaching schedule, doing studio sessions for others, and holding guitar clinics for Randall MTS Series Amplifiers and Parker Guitars. Whether teaching, recording or performing Vince gets the job done, and has a blast doing so! "It's all about fun and the love of music. I'm grateful to be able to do what I love!"
