Interview with Al Di Meola with footage from the soundcheck at Issoudun

The legendary Al Di Meola was headlining the 2013 Issoudun Guitar Festival, knowing that I made every effort to get an interview with him. This was done thanks to Kevin Seddiki, guitarist with whom Al plays in duo, who was kind enough to play the role of intermediary and put me in touch with the management of the master. A huge thank to Kevin for his intervention.

I had 10min to do my interview, including setup time. I do not deny that I was a little nervous to meet such a superstar. Finally everything went very well.

Topics covered in the interview

  • His first guitar
  • The key points of his career
  • Will he play electric guitar again?
  • His meeting with Kevin Seddiki
  • How he chose to play with Kevin
  • What he is looking for in a musician
  • His advice to grow and find your own voice
