Franco Morone is considered one of most interesting guitarists on the international scene. According with the magazine Acoustic Guitar he has one of most identifiable sounds of anyone playing fingerstyle guitar today and the top guitar magazine in Japan includes Franco among the firsts 30 big world class guitarists.
What is surprising in his work is the emotional impact of both his original and the traditional tunes that seems to reborn under his fingers. A gifted handcraft who composes and arrange fascinated melodies and performs with a extraordinary feeling and sensibility.
Quite often far for the merrily virtuosity, his music gives emotions at the first listening. He doesn't use to surprise the listener with technical abilities but capture his attention with magic picking rhythms, full lyrical sound and Mediterranean warmth.
All the musical genres like blues, jazz, Italian and Celtic fingerstyle are treated with extreme competence, showing the best way to be arranged on the six steel string.
Aside his released albums are different instructional books and dvds used by many teachers and guitarists.
His world wide activity with concerts and workshops is regular and noted on his web site, so in case he will be performing in your area, do not miss this Italian poet of the acoustic guitar.

HAL: Tommy Emmanuel:

Hal is wonderful musician and I admire his dedication to the guitar. I wish him success in his career and would like to see him take his music to the rest of the world.

Thomas Kleemaier:

At the moment you think everything that can be said with an acoustic guitar has already been said, there will be a voice from somewhere in the world, and may it be Croatia, that suddenly tells you new stories. It happened to me when the guitar was in the hands of a guy named Hal, a classically trained player from Croatia. Hal plays in the best American fingerstyle tradition, but there always is this little something, this little extra, that makes his playing unique. Hey people, listen to him, this guy is great!

Woody Mann:

It is remarkable how Hal is able to play so many different styles of guitar music in such a brilliant manner. His technique and ideas show a musician with extraordinary talent. After hearing him play, it is clear that he is an important musician with much to offer the musical community in Croatia. I think he has the potential to be a major figure in the world of guitar.
