About Mario
I started playing guitar when I was 11, but music had already been my passion for a long time. I studied until I was 19 at the Thelonious Monk Jazz School in Campobasso, my hometown.
While I was taking courses in Musicology and Musical Heritage at the University of Florence, I studied in Rome with Lello Panico and in Milan with Bebo Ferra. I studied with Ed Cherry, Jim Kelly, Gigi Cifarelli, Steve Howe, Carl Verheien and many others.
I have played all over Europe alone and with my bands. I have many stories to tell, and the road traveled is also visible on my guitars.
I have a weakness for blues, jazz and slide. I have also been playing pedal steel for almost 4 years.
I have played and recorded in the most important Italian and foreign recording studios, including the famous Abbey Road Studios in London, where I produced the album The Calling, released in 2023.
I have a discography of over 20 albums under my belt, and I don't intend to stop.
In all this, the passion for teaching was born immediately. I was twenty years old when I gave in to the requests of some friends and so I started teaching guitar very young.
I currently teach History of Italian Music at an international university called Villa Aurora in Florence and continue as usual with my live activity and my lessons.

Hi, my name is Mario Evangelista, I am a guitarist with more than twenty years of teaching behind me and I have had more than 200 students!
My lessons are suitable for those who want to delve deeper into blues and jazz, slide and fingerpicking.
I have played all over Europe with Riserva Moac and am currently active as a producer and arranger as well as with my two bands The Gutbuckets and Pitchtorch.
I am also a musicologist graduated with honors from the University of Florence as well as a university professor of History of Music. I was also a member of Sidma, the Italian Society of African-American Musicology.

Sono allievo di Mario da molto tempo e lo consiglio vivamente! Mai visto un virtuoso dello strumento e un insegnante così appassionato come lui!
Fare una lezione con Mario è un'esperienza musicale totale. Sa mettere a disposizione la sua preparazione e la sua esperienza, sia teorica che tecnica, adattandole alla capacità dell'allievo e sempre con trovate stimolanti.
Volevo risvegliare la mia passione per la chitarra, pur avendo io un'età non più giovanissima, e Mario ha saputo ben individuare quale percorso si poteva seguire, arricchendolo anche con tecniche per me nuove come lo slide. Non avrei potuto trovare un superprof migliore e lo consiglio a tutti.
Mario non è solo un ottimo musicista ed un bravo insegnante, è una persona gradevolissima e paziente capace di mettere a proprio agio chiunque.
Mario oltre ad essere un grande chitarrista, è anche un grande maestro. Insegnare musica non è per niente facile, ma lui riesce con tutta la sua preparazione e dedizione, ad infondere quelle nozioni che difficilmente un altro maestro riuscirebbe a fare. Ho imparato tanto, e tanto avrò ancora da imparare. Consiglio vivamente di farvi un giro da Mario e capirete che siete capitati nel posto giusto con il superprof giusto! Buona musica a tutti.
