Interview with Gian Galiano
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: If you are looking for a great sounding product, someone easy to work with and a quick turnover for the product then I am your player!
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: For rhythm playing I think about how to change things up while still staying in the pocket. For lead I think very melodically and vocally. I think about what would a singer do there? And I interpret it on my instrument.

A: Never be biased towards a certain type of music. Music is music!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Rock, Singer Songwriter, Pop, Jazz, Fusion.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Listening and placing the guitar where it should be and keeping it away from where it shouldn't be.
