Richard Philip Henry John Benson, known as Richard Benson (born 10 March 1955, Woking, England) is an English–Italian guitarist. It is said he moved to Rome in 1965. ==Career== In 1971 he recorded with the progressive rock band "Buon Vecchio Charlie" a self titled LP, which was only released in 1990. In 1972, he took part in the festival "Villa Pamphili".〔 (Infos at stampamusicale.altervista.org )〕 In 1983 he says released his first LP, ''Animal Zoo'', an Italo disco production.〔(Richard Benson (2) – Animal Zoo ), discogs.com〕 In the following year he released his second LP, ''Renegade'', a song with electro-rock tones.〔(Richard Benson (2) – Renegade ), discogs.com〕 Both discs are difficult to find and, for a long time, their existence was even doubted, especially for what concerns ''Renegade''. In 1987 he was included on the compilation album, ''Metal Attack'' (RCA Italy – Talent).〔 (Infos at maxsmeraldi.com )〕 In 1992 he played himself in Carlo Verdone's film ''Maledetto il giorno che t'ho incontrato''. In the second half of the 1990s he arrived at the peak of his musical career giving concerts in Rome. In 1999 he released his first CD, ''Madre Tortura''.〔(Richard Benson Madre Tortura ), spirit-of-metal.com〕 Benson is well known for having recorded various tutorial videos to teach young guitarists how to present serious scales. In these videos he shows all of his guitarist skills playing a breathtaking version of "il vecchio blues". Another of his famous tricks is the "hellish carillon" (carillon infernale). Benson has then appeared in Italian national broadcast television as a music opinionist (Rai 2), together with Max Giusti, though the role of Benson in the show was, once again, rather comical than serious, in fact, playing a sort of parody of his own character. In 2015 he released his second CD, ''L'inferno dei vivi'', a rock-opera produced by Federico Zampaglione.〔 (''Richard Benson torna nei negozi con "L'inferno dei vivi'' ), ''Panorama'', 18 March 2015.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Benson (singer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
