Lari Basilio on Expressing Emotion Through Guitar, Finding Her Sound, and the Genius of Satriani


Since making her mark in the early 2010s with a solid debut EP and a trio of impressive full-length releases over the past decade, São Paulo’s finest, Lari Basilio, has become one of the most compelling modern voices in the world of guitar—not just for her blazing technique, but for a rare melodic sensibility that sets her apart from the average shredder.

Now, with her latest album, Redemption, out worldwide, Lari sits down with Guitar Interactive’s Jonathan Graham to talk about the making of the new record, the art of expressing emotion through melody, the artists she’d love to collaborate with, and her ever-evolving gear setup.
