Alberto Lombardi is an internationally renowned fingerstyle and rock guitarist. His music is a rare crossroads where the elegance of Italian melody meets the grit of Brit/American rock and Nashville’s thumbpicking tradition.
​
Alberto shared the stage with legendary acoustic guitarist Tommy Emmanuel on his 2026 Italian Tour, and was also a teacher at Emmanuel’s Rome Guitar Camp, following a successful Solo US Tour featuring several sold-out performances.
​
“It sounds beautiful and your playing and arrangements are very powerful. I wish you much success !! "
Tommy Emmanuel

"Fanatstic guitar player!
Wow this is such a beautiful piece of music”
Bob Clearmountain
Alberto’s solo performance is a high-energy journey through original compositions and elaborate arrangements of Italian and international classics. By incorporating fingerpicking, looping, soaring electric guitar solos, and his signature "Sting-like" vocals, he transforms a solo guitar show into a full-blown "one-man" orchestra. Whether reimagining The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, or Volare, Alberto delivers a unique experience where Jeff Beck-inspired electric leads soar over intricate acoustic foundations.
​
While the solo show is a marvel of technical agility, Alberto also brings his vision to the stage with a full band—the complete canvas for his original songwriting and electric guitar mastery. These performances allow the rich textures of his studio productions and the power of his electric playing to reach their maximum impact.
“the record is killing, such great musicianship!”
Nile Rodgers
Alberto’s career spans from intimate clubs to Italy’s massive stadiums (San Siro, Stadio Olimpico). As a premier session player, he has worked with numerous international artists—including the original lead singers of CHIC and Robbie Dupree—as well as major Italian pop icons.
His discography, ranging from the rock-driven Home to the acclaimed acoustic works The Fermi Paradox, Through the Years, and Birds, continues to receive critical praise from the international specialized press.
​
