The UK Guitarist Magazine endorsed Mizarolli's zen guitar tuition method as far back as 1987. John Mizarolli had just given a live performance to 3000 at the Limelight Club celebrating a Jimi Hendrix Anniversary. After blowing their minds, he was approached by Guitarist who gave him a 5 page spread hailing him as a Major British Guitar Talent. His biography lists an interesting and unique timeline. Having played with one of Rock's major drumming legends, namely Ginger Baker and the Blues major bass legend, Big Joe Turner, John Mizarolli now has music history written in his fingers. Soon after Mizarolli was asked to play with Jimi Hendrix band members, bassist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell. John Mizarolli declined as he thought he'd be only perceived as a clone, with nothing else to offer in terms of originality. For guitar players willing to listen to the tracks on the homepage on this site, it is clearly apparent that Mizarolli has far superseded the range of styles most musicians learn in one lifetime.

Big Joe Turner who worked for 5 years with BB King and 2 years with Albert King rated John Mizarolli as the best blues guitarist in the UK. He also stated no one guitarist that he knew could play rhythm and lead in the blues idiom like Mizarolli. Conroversial as this opinion was, it came from a blues bass legend who even Stanley Clarke loved and respected. Has Mizarolli actually gone beyond Hendrix? You be the judge, maybe even check out his private lessons.

John Mizarolli is a former guitarist for Ginger Baker of Cream. One of Uks leading guitarists spent 4 years in the USA, then returned to the UK in 1978. He then spent years gigging, recording, touring and teaching. He achieved cult fame worldwide in 1980 joining Ginger Baker's band Energy who toured Europe, UK and behind the former iron curtain appearing on tv, clubs and arenas. As Ginger's lead guitarist he was singled out by Europe's music mags as the revelation of the band after 4 encores at a 15000 seater in Rome. In 1978 He developed a unique and historic course of guitar systems that created an industry bigger than the record industry itself.

It's ironic that in 1980 he was too busy to give tuition to Andy Summers of Police. Andy was relatively unknown then but was definitely influenced by Mizarolli's guitar sound (that jangly roland jazz-chorus chord vibe). When Gary Moore left Thin Lizzy, Mizarolli met with Phil Lynott with a view to joining. He decided that Ginger had more to offer in musicianship. So he stayed with the Cream's wild drummer, whilst being financially supported by teaching UK's most ardent guitar lovers.
