You participated in a guitar seminar with Franco
would you like to leave your testimony?
We are grateful for your valuable contribution!
We count your passion grows and renews itself in the enthusiasm and the joy of learning.
We are waiting for you when you want to reach new goals. You will always be welcome.
We wish you a lot of good music and good life !!
Thanks, Cristina for sharing your feelings, which I also wholeheartedly agree.
I attended other internships and I found in principle the same glue: sharing sensations, the desire for culture and beauty, the love for small results and the joy of overcoming frustrations with the help of everyone. It is from my point of view a high school of life if you can appreciate it.
It was a privilege for me to know you, you are extraordinary people.
A separate comment on Franco and Raffaella: friends, perfect hosts, capable of sincere affection. Saturday evening was pure sharing.
The ability to stress Franco with little nonsense was a rare privilege, knowing his experience and his undisputed talent: he has unique qualities of patience.
Raffaella deserves only one definition: an angel. (thanks also to his “vice,” Gabriela)
Let’s not talk about Margot then: sweet. Tender and affectionate, as well as a talented singer.
Best wishes for a sustainable and possibly peaceful year for all.
We hope to meet again; as far as I am concerned, with more preparation, I will repeat the experience.
Good life and good music for all of you
I thank you, Franco, for letting me understand what’s the right approach to the guitar. I do not like those who make fun of you or use euphemisms because they are afraid to say things as they are. The choice I have before me is now simple and, as I am, it has no half measures. Or I let it go, obliging myself to do some simple strumming, or, with patience, I start all over again.
A speech that is not just about the guitar, it is also a choice of life. The music done well absorbs time and energy and at my age to start from scratch it takes courage and unconsciousness together. Also, we must know how to love even the small results because, always for reasons of age, the big ones become unattainable.
Only that, perhaps I understand it just now, writing, the option to give up becomes impossible, not after seeing what the music does in people. Undoubtedly people already predisposed and with remarkable human characteristics. But it was nice to see how my workshop colleagues managed to find balance and happiness in music.
Why do I want to play? For this, to feel good. There is no other reason.
A special thanks to Raffaella. You have surrounded us with care and attention. Among other things, we ate very well. Thanks also for the advice on the voice, I will need a lot.
Hi Franco, your music is now part of the soundtrack of my life!
I still have tears in my eyes when I think of those fantastic six days. I thank you and Raffaella for giving us a daydream!
Illustrious Franco, I am moved by performing your songs. You wrote beautiful arpeggios whose rhythm, hidden between the melodic simplicity, is very hot. You are the number one! Thanks again.
I want to thank you for stimulating me in the journey of this fascinating technique. After years of concerts, I decided to stop playing, but thanks to the discovery of beautiful methods from you, I resumed playing, thank you with all my heart.
Dear Franco Morone, I am a classical guitarist who was lucky enough to buy the Celtic Fingerstyle book. I wanted to compliment you for the beautiful transcriptions, with a remarkable taste for embellishments! I liked it so much that I bought an acoustic. Congratulations also for the interpretation.
The seminar was extraordinarily positive both from an educational point of view, for Franco’s exceptional ability to transmit his musical knowledge, and for the human relationship established between the various participants an experience that every fingerstyle guitarist should do. Thank you!
I attended the workshop on June 2nd. Great experience immersed in the quiet, in music and Raffaella’s healthy recipes. Excellent knowledge among the classmates of course and fat played until late at night. Thank you so much, Franco, Raffaella, Margot, Giacomo, Paolo, Ugo, and Gabriella. I highly recommend this musical and human experience … .. I will return. A Mirko hug
Attending the Masterclass with Maestro Franco Morone is a unique and unforgettable experience. An intense work under the guidance of a formidable teacher who enriches the musical path of every guitarist.
The guitar course with Franco is an incredible experience; the days fly away by following the private lessons, the collective ones and preparing the pieces for the essay/concert. Raffaella and Franco are truly unique regarding hospitality.
I took part in Franco’s June course. His workshops are a great experience, the combination of a great musician, a great singer and cook, and a beautiful place: all exceptional, including classmates. Paolo
I participated in the workshop in June one of the most beautiful experiences that I could live surrounded by nature and the passion of those like me who love music and simple things. I thank Franco Morone, a joyful man humble patient and always available and in the same an incredible guitarist, Raffaella a beautiful singer and a stratospheric cook, the classmates Mirko Ugo Paolo and Margot, thanks to everyone and next time, a hug …
music makes the world a better place! Giacomo
After having lived this wonderful experience, I regret not having done it before. Franco manages to amaze even with songs that most musicians consider trivial or too simple, making them a real pleasure for the listener. His advice is above all a great source of inspiration. The location of the course and the warm welcome made everything even more magical. Finally, one can not fail to mention the excellent cuisine of Raffaella. I will certainly try to participate again in the future in another workshop. Thanks to Franco and Raffaella.
I followed the Easter 2016 workshop: it was a wonderful experience. In addition to the tips of what for me is one of the best living guitar composers, it was gratifying to meet other people in love with me like the acoustic guitar: passion is one of those things that divide them amplify. I returned home determined to continue in the study. Last but not least, Raffaella’s cooking turned out to be a real surprise. In short, thanks to Raffaella and Franco for their hospitality, patience and beautiful location. Mauro
I take this opportunity to tell you again that for me you are a great man. A fundamental component of the technique that makes the performance expressive is the control and sensitivity in dominating and managing the phraseological dynamic, and your guitar is as if it were breathing, that record, probably, for the typology of the repertoire, is moving. Some tracks rip my heart out. And then there is the taste. It’s what makes a musician over the top a couple of my disciples want to take me to see Tommy Emanuel in Milan. Who knows, maybe I will go and amaze me. But the thrill of that record I already know will not give it to me.
Thanks from those who learned a lot through your books and taught me to think and play in fingerpicking, a unique way to arrange and perform. I congratulate you again on the style, the propensity to teaching and the apparent eclecticism. Thanks again.
Dear Franco, after the internship, Flowers from Ayako is impressive and I’m studying the blues guitar method. What should I say… I love you. Now I do know what to answer when they ask me what music I like: that of Franco!
I was expecting a guitar seminar, but I found a lot more! Being able to detach the mind for only four days was like living in another dimension: reconciling and regenerating. All thanks to Raffaella and Franco for the family welcome, the human warmth, the pleasant environment, and the healthy and exquisite cuisine. And what about Raffaella’s voice, her patience and adaptability to our eating habits. All this delightfully accompanied by guitar lessons with Franco that I will certainly recommend to all my passionate friends and I will try to repeat. Thank you very much and see you soon!
It is priceless: to be able to enjoy Raffaella’s kitchen, its silent and enveloping sweetness, its song. It is still invaluable to listen to the melodies that the students perfect with Franco, within a marvelous setting of natural landscapes and wide, lost in the horizon. I savored every moment of this experience accompanying my husband, whom I will never stop to thank for giving me these days. Thanks to Raffaella, Franco, Gabriela, and Margot for sharing this corner of paradise. Thanks again from my heart.

A week after your seminar I would like to thank you for the wonderful experience! It was a pleasure to stay four days in contact with a musician like you. Endowed with musical finesse, taste, grace and – last but not least – an extraordinary skill (which never transcends self-congratulation, in the didactic field, and in the excellent performance to himself, in the musical field), but it was equally beautiful to be able to share this experience with other people, play together and get to know each other. I had the opportunity to enter a world – that of fingerstyle – that I knew only partially, but that I discovered a lot of passion and of which I learned many facets. Now I listen to your songs – both your compositions and the traditional arrangements – and I find them very beautiful, and I listen to a lot of other acoustic guitar music.
Hello Franco,
It’s been several days since I’ve watched your video, Flowers from Ayako, and I can not stop hearing it and watching it. Surely I will find all the material that I can about you, and I will begin to study this style that gave me a significant emotion … a big hello and a thank you.
