ALEX LOFOCO
Internationally renowned electric bassist, Alex was born and raised in Rome and moved to London where he graduated in Popular Music Performance at the University of West London.
Alex’s progressive fusion debut album Beyond features A-class guest artists such as Marco Minnemann on drums (Aristocrats), keyboard Wizard Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater), Eric Marienthal on sax (Chick Corea Elektric Band), pianist Jesus Molina and guitarist, composer and co-producer Roby Meola.
Alex holds masterclasses and clinic worldwide invited by music colleges including the Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, BIMM and the ICMP in London to name a few. Alex did his very first masterclass at the Tech Music School in London while he was still a student there.
As author he publishes his unique method for guitar and bass SCALE COLOUR SYSTEM – an innovative system to internalise and unlock the fretboard – which has received high praise from both press and world-class musicians (read more). Sold in over 40 countries worldwide, it is translated in English, Spanish and Italian and it is now distributed by Hal Leonard.
Endorsing world’s top musical instrument companies Alex performs at international music shows such as the NAMM Show, Frankfurt Musikmesse, Euro Bass Day and the London Bass Guitar Show.
He has also featured on Bass Guitar Magazine, Bass Quarterly and De Bassist amongst others, and he contributes with lessons and articles to Bass Musician Magazine, No Treble and MusicOff.com.
I have been following for several years the teaching activities of Alex Lofoco, a bassist and teacher whom I came to know through his videos regarding the double-thumb technique on the Musicoff YouTube channel. Videos are clear, precise, straight to the point, and illustrated by Alex in a way that makes the technique, so seemingly complex, easy to understand even for those seeing it for the first time.
Jacopo Barboro
Effective and stimulating teaching, consolidated over long experience as a musician and culminating in the creation of the innovative Scale Colour System teaching method. Alex succeeds in presenting even complex topics with ease of understanding thanks to an important ability for expression and interaction.
Mattia Mei
I took lessons with Alex with the course "four-string bass in four months," also buying his book "Scale Colour System." All his teachings were essential to me, changing my playing.
In addition to the theory itself, Alex taught me techniques for improvising that I learned and took advantage of right away, because of the immediacy of both his way of teaching and technique; awkward positions, they became common for my playing.
Through it all, there was never a lack of a good dose of "humaneness" on his part.
Leonardo Fortini
An extraordinary musician, bassist and teacher.
Beyond the conspicuous material that can be found on the web about Alex, from which it is possible to take immediate note of his musical cultural background, as well as his incredible performances, what I would like to make known is the fact that he does not spare himself in sharing his all-round musical knowledge and background. Noted is his innovative method (Scale Colour System) with which it is possible to approach in a "user friendly" way educational topics that would otherwise be quite challenging.
