“Claudio Rudella exhibits a sound intense and open, with a propelling absolute precision that evolves from brilliant ideas and determination to his beautiful expressive capability.
His strong and effective delivery knows also moments of clear and flowing emotions, like he knows how to project himself with expertise and feelings and great awareness, from this emerges his rock style music and songwriting skills”.
…this is how well-known musical critic, GIORDANO SELINI, begins to describe this Veneto musician. Born in the Province of Vicenza, Trevigian by adoption, CLAUDIO RUDELLA took his first steps as a guitarist in the era of the BEAT and even earlier, evolving and adapting to the various changes in generations and styles.
Thirty albums & CD’s in progress – as lead guitarist or session man
Prestigious collaborations:
4 tours with IAN PAICE (Deep Purple)
Concerts with JASON BONHAM (Son of late Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, and current drummer for the reunion of the mythical band)
Incredible concerts with JAMES BURTON (Ex Guitarist of Elvis Presley), EDGAR CRUZ (best known for his fingerstyle arrangements for various tracks for QUEEN), T.M. STEVENS (Infamous bassist – played with PRINCE) and many more worldwide artists.
Collaborations with nationally famous artists: from MAURIZIO SOLIERI & CLAUDIO GOLINELLI (Vasco Rossi), ANDREA BRAIDO & RICKY PORTERA (Vasco Rossi & Lucio Dalla). Theatre shows alongside the great ALBERTO RADIUS, played with friend TOMMY EMMANUEL, and PEDRO GONZALES TRIO.
One of Claudio’s biggest regrets was not being able to continue and bring to an end his collaboration with his great friend GUIDO TOFFOLETTI. Guido & Claudio were about to start work on a new CD already entitled “From Elvis to 2000” when tragically Guido passed away.
Concerts and recordings with the great ALBERTO GROLLO and his NEW AGE MUSIC and another great mythical artist, GIGI ROCK, incomparable figure for his compassion and determination, for whom Claudio has written music and lyrics for various pieces based on Rock and Roll but with a spirited twist adapted to Gigi’s spirit and buoyancy.
Claudio has been invited to host on many occasions at ADGPA in Soave, Sarzana and Conegliano. He has held seminars on personalization of famous covers, as well as being a spokesperson for various important brands during his career at the Music Fairs in Milan, Pesaro, Rimini,Verona & Frankfurt.
To point out an ambitious project with songs from Lucio Battisti totally rearranged in Rock without compromising the beauty of the original songs. Here as well is called for a great level of collaboration: ALDO TAGLIAPIETRA of Orme and BEPPE LEONCINI of the Steve Rogers Band and CHRISTIAN PUGLIESE, incredible voices. The name of the CD is: SAMSARA.
NOW, on the bass, ELISA MINARI of the old compilations of Nomadi, and ALBERTO PAVESI on tour with Gloria Gaynor & Omar Pedrini.

Here as well, renowned guests of the likes of Vittorio De Scalzi of New Trolls, the ever present Aldo Tagliapietra of ORME and the boisterous GIULIANO DEI NOTTURNI, famous for “Il Ballo di Simone”.
