New Directions at a New Level – The Ibanez LB1 Lari Basilio Electric Guitar in White
In 2011, Lari started working on her instrumental five-song Extended Play (EP), named, simply, Lari Basilio, which features Felipe Andreoli, bass player in the popular Brazilian band Angra. The EP was produced by five-time Latin Grammy winner Lampadinha.
Her second original work, the CD and DVD “The Sound of My Room”, was released in August, 2015 at Cine Belas Artes in São Paulo. “The idea of taking instrumental guitar music to a movie theater proved (to be) a creative initiative (equal to) the compositions of Lari Basilio,” said Guitar Player Brazil magazine in its October , 2015 issue. The 10-song package includes a mini-documentary and behind-the-scenes footage on the DVD.
Lari won the instrumental category of the Samsung E-Festival in 2014 and performed for a crowd of 15,000 alongside Keb’ Mo’ and Quinn Sullivan at the Samsung Best of Blues Festival in Brazil. She has also opened for guitar clinics by Paul Gilbert and Andy Timmons and appeared at the Malibu Guitar Festival in 2017. The online video of her jam with Steve Vai is something no fan should miss.
She was also invited by Joe Satriani to be part of the G4 Experience 2019, being the first female guitar player to join the event.
Being a technical yet melodic player has always come naturally to Lari. Many feel that she has taken the electric guitar in a new direction and, at the same time, brought it to a new level.
Lari’s most recent original work, “Far More” album, was recorded at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles with an all-star band: Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Nathan East (bass) and Greg Phillinganes (keys/piano). Also bringing two very special guests: Joe Satriani (on the track Glimpse of Light) and Siedah Garrett (on the track Man in The Mirror, for which Lari created a new arrangement).
Oval C S-Tech Wood Roasted Birdseye Maple Neck
The S-TECH special roasted treatment increases the wood’s stability, durability, water resistance and tolerance of temperature changes. The neck is sealed with an oil finish which helps make it feel similar to a well-played guitar neck.
Gotoh® Magnum Lock w/H.A.P. Machine Heads
GOTOH® MAGNUM LOCK® machine heads have an established reputation for tuning stability. Its H. A. P® (Height Adjustable Post). system allows for the adjustment of string posts for the appropriate tension of each string.
S-Tech Wood Roasted Birdseye Maple Fretboard
The S-TECH special roasted treatment provides a superior attack, a well-balanced tone and a rich sustain. In order to achieve supreme neck grip comfort, the fretboard edge is finished with a smooth curve.
Compound Radius Fretboard (228mm to 305mm)
Offering the best of both worlds, the digitized compound radius fretboard is built to enhance both smooth chording and lead work in the upper register.
Seymour Duncan® Lari Basilio S-S-H pickups
Lari’s signature set of pickups by Seymour Duncan feature 3 pickups that are each unique to each other, but also combine to make the perfect combo. The neck pickup is a mix of Alnico 5 and Alnico 4 magnets that combine for vintage tone with a lot of body and presence, while the middle pickup is a special mix of Alnico 5 and Alnico 2 magnets to help create more tonal options, as well as very unique look. Lari’s bridge position humbucker features Alnico 5 magnets and is voiced to be versatile and well balanced, focusing on attack and clarity over a wide range of tones from clean to high gain. For the type of player that Lari strives to be, having a versatile tone is essential, and these pickups always deliver.
Gotoh® T1702B Tremolo
The T1702B tremolo bridge provides quick response and improved articulation. The 10.5mm string spacing allows for easy picking across strings and its snap-in construction makes it easy to load a tremolo arm. The tremolo block and saddles are made of brass, facilitating better overall resonance.
dyna-MIX9 Switching System with Alter Switch
The dyna-MIX 9 offers nine sound variations and can switch between humbucker and single coil modes with just a flick of the mini switch. One mode even simulates a humbucking sound from the combination of two single coil pickups.
Luminlay Side Dot Inlays
The Luminlay side dot position marks make it easy for players to see fretboard position marks when performing on dark stages.
