Hello everyone ,

September's issue of brazilian Guitar Player magazine features an exclusive interview with Paul Gilbert who is the guitarist for Mr. Big and also 15 examples transcribed by me taken from all his career. This time I was able to colaborate with some questions for the interviews (The ones about What if...) and now I'm really happy he answered all my questions. Gilbert has always had a huge influence on my guitar playing and now I'm feeling very accomplished about that. Thanks a lot everyone at Guitar Player Brazil! You can check the instructional video of the issue below:

I also want to take this opportunity to announce my latest partnership with Fire Custom Shop. A very serious brazilian company which has been producing some of the greatest brazilian gear I've ever played with . More information coming soon.

Great Hug,

Rafael Nery

Hello Everybody,

I'm here today to talk about something really important and noble. The lastest project of the Guitar Clinic website, Heart of a Hero, which was created by me and has as main goal to help the great guitarist Jason Becker. The compilation is avaliable at www.guitarclinic.com.br and features several musicians and friends like Kiko Loureiro, Rafael Bittencourt, Hugo Mariutti, Edu Ardanuy, André Hernandes, Wanderson Bersani, Márcio Okayama, Michel Leme, Marcelo Barbosa among others. Besides that, you also can contribute and make your donation via Paypal to help at Jason's treatment.

To me, it's a great honour to be able to retribute to Jason Becker for everything that his music influenced me during my teen years. So, for that reason, besides creating this project, I decided to write a completely new track called Inside my dying soul. This song makes me go back to that so important time of my life, mainly for guitaristic development. Check out the video I recorded especially to promote this track:

Besides that, you guys can download my track on the discography section of my website or download for free the entire compilation on www.guitarclinic.com.br.

I count with your donation and I want to thank everybody involved.

Great Hug,

Rafael Nery

Hello Friends, how are you?

There's a new video of my perfomance at Tagima's booth. It was shot by my friend and student Fabrício Manoel!

See you,

Rafael Nery  

Hello Friends, how are you?

Last week was insane and I'm sorry I didn't write you all sooner. I worked at Expomusic 2010 for Royal Music Booth and I spent all my days there.I was there to help people who were interested about on testing the Zoom pedals. It was a cool experience, even with all the hurry!

Something really unexpected happened: I perfomed at Tagima's booth (09.25) , but since it showed up during the music tradeshow I wasn't able to let you all know. I'm sorry about that, but I got a video from it!

I'm Sorry about the video/audio quality, it was shot by a cell phone, but since I don't have other record from the same perfomance, I decided uploading it!  

There's also a video from my perfomance at Tagima Dream Team. The same problem happens here, but I only have this record from that moment.

Another surprise came up: My album Say a Word got a very nice Review from Rolling Stones Brazil magazine. Make sure to check it on the press section!

Thanks a lot to everyone who supported me during this whole process!

See you around,

Rafael Nery

Check out me playing live at QZONA Web Show Nº42 on www.qzona.com.br . I perfomed two songs of my new record named Say a Word and I paid a tribute to Mr.Big by singing the song My New Religion which is for sure one of the best songs ever written!

Great Hug,

Hello everyone, how are you guys doing!? I hope everything is fine with you all!

My first album "Say a Word" is finally out , after several years of working hard, it's done. I still can't believe it! You can check out some samples on the video above and listen to five tracks on my myspace page (www.myspace.com/rafaelnery).It's an acoustic album and I'm sure that people who have known me as a shredder guitar player, will be very surprised with this album. It's a completely different side of me as a musician. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Soon you'll be able to check out where to purchase on the banner aside or if you prefer, e-mail me at rafaelnery@rafaelnery.com.

Other cool thing also happened this week , the Rock 4 life compilation is already avaliable online and it features my Don't leave me Tonight version recorded in 2008.It's a very nice attitude, because this compilation was created in order to help PSC Partners Seeking a Cure (http://www.pscpartners.org). So make sure to get your copy directly from Itunes by clicking here and do your part!

The website was also uptaded and now you can check a very cool new design and version of it!

I would like to thank everyone who supported me during this very tough journey!

Stay tuned,

Rafael Nery
