Rick Beato offered his attitude to THE scandal that devour the shameful Instagram guitar star Giacomo Turraand admitted that he filmed a video for his YouTube Channel with Turra ultimately decided against the publication because his game was not good enough.

Turra had recorded a meteorical increase in recent years and has accumulated a large followers on social media – mainly on Instagram, where more than 723,000 people follow him. In his profile as a neo-radio guitar influencer, he attracted a number of notes, including a signature guitar from d'Angelico.

But since April he has been at the center of a social media storm, after Youtuber Danny Sapko had released a video in which Turra was accused of using several cases of using the arrangements of other players for his own Instagram videos without owing them or hiding them in the small print, and also with selling tabs of their work.

D'Angelico then pulled Turras Signature model from his website. Other commercial partners became the content of him, including the British retailer of Anders. Giacomo Turra Turra's official website is currently offline. Beato reveals that he made a video with Turra, but decided against the publication because Turra's game was not good enough.

Beato, who has 4.96 million subscribers to his YouTube channel, said that he was flooded with inquiries about comments on the Turra Controvers.

“People are how, when will you say something about it, Rick?” said Beato. “Okay, I say it. I didn't post the video because Giacomo couldn't play well enough to be on my channel. I have standards.”

“Giacomo Turra, which I had in my studio a few months ago. I was wearing him because he was a great player in his Instagram videos,” said Beato. “Before I found out from Danny Sapko's video, this was that he had stole the music of other people – some friends.

“When he came here and played, I realized that he couldn't play well enough to bring out the video, and then I said: 'Well, obviously all of his videos were wrong.'”

That was something that Sapko had complained about. It was obvious that Turra was imitated to a background route (the absurd Whammy bar dive bombs on a guitar with the solid bridge, etc.).

But then this is not part of the artificiality of social media, the presentation of this idealized version of the self? Beato argues that it is tearing off a certain lazing.

But think as a musician, Beato argues that this is not a big deal. The half -time show in the Super Bowl is recorded. Even Wes Montgomery did it to promote his album at the time.

On the other hand, the Wes Montgomery was, and he promoted his album on television in front of a live audience – be – And there are many documentary evidence of Montgomery's genius as.

However, Turra is not a Wes Montgomery, and he also used other people's music, and that, argues Beato, is the “really outrageous” behavior in the heart of the scandal. “The fake, okay, that's one thing, but other people's music is completely not cool,” he said.

Turra published an apology video on YouTube immediately after Sapko's video, although they could say that it fell into the “Sorry sorry” category, with the Italian guitarist to be able to sell the work of other artists and divided a link to a dropbox folder with screenshots with loans.

Turra's apology video was later dismantled by YouTube. Beato argues that it is insufficient and that the allegations did not address directly. It should also have been on Instagram, because there it is all supporters of Turra.

Can Turra make a comeback? Beato does not exclude it. But he has some advice. Come clean and apologize and apologize and return as a better player with great music. “Everyone likes a great history of salvation,” says Beato.

“Okay, I say it. I didn't post the video because Giacomo couldn't play well enough to be on my channel.”
