World-renowned guitar hero Al Di Meola welcomes a new decade with an ambitious follow-up to his 2013 studio recording All Your Life: A Tribute to the Beatles with a sophomore homage to the Beatles, entitled Across The Universe. Al Di Meola’s exquisite mastery of the fretboard is equal only to his appreciation of the Beatles’ legacy that has inspired generations of both musicians and music fans with their famed recording catalog. A retrospective of Al Di Meola’s nearly 50-year acclaimed career expressed through his virtuosic arrangements of 14 Beatles songs, Across The Universe journeys alongside one of America’s foremost guitarists as he revisits classic hits and more obscure tunes written by the ingenious Fab Four who have helped define the man he is today.
Adding to his lauded recording collection of more than 30 solo albums and numerous acclaimed collaborations with the likes of Chick Corea, John McLaughlin, Stanley Clarke, Paco De Lucia and many others, Across The Universe is yet another masterpiece showcasing Al Di Meola’s fascination with complex rhythmic syncopation combined with provocative lyrical melodies and intricate harmonies. Beatles fans, guitar-heads, and music lovers alike can expect the unexpected upon venturing into the world put forth by Across The Universe. To commemorate the singular life of John Lennon, Al Di Meola reenacts the famous Lennon cover for his 1975 solo album Rock ‘n’ Roll for the artwork for Across The Universe.
Al Di Meola is a living legend celebrated for pioneering a unique style of impeccable guitar technique combined with a sophisticated global musical language that’s captured the hearts of audiences across the world. A GRAMMY Award-winner, he’s garnered three gold albums while selling more than six million albums in worldwide sales. His collaborations with artists such as Paul Simon, Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Page, Santana, Steve Winwood, Herbie Hancock, Frank Zappa, Luciano Pavarotti, and others have elevated Al Di Meola to become a household name. Traversing divinely across multiple genres including flamenco, Latin, fusion, jazz, rock, and world music, Al Di Meola is a vivacious tour de force always redefining the boundaries of what’s possible on a six-stringed instrument. Across The Universe is no different than his most decorated recordings with his arsenal of a large ensemble bringing creative reinterpretations of Beatles songs to astounding heights.
“I really credit the Beatles for the reason why I play guitar,” says Al Di Meola. “That was a major catalyst for me to want to learn music, so their impact was pretty strong.”
Al Di Meola employs a wide lens on Across The Universe with lightening-speed electric guitar orchestrations balanced with lavish acoustic arrangements. The debut single “Strawberry Fields Forever” from Across The Universe (released today, January 17) is a fiery electric guitar fueled stunner backed by a red-hot rock band. Epic rock ‘n’ roll covers are sprinkled throughout the album, including the visionary take on the album opener “Here Comes The Sun,” as well as a riveting “Hey Jude” and “Golden Slumbers Medley.” Al Di Meola’s acoustic fingerpicking soars on “Dear Prudence” and “Norwegian Wood,” while he ventures to a jazz fusion aesthetic on “Till There Was You.”
Across The Universe simmers to a diverse set of mid-tempo grooves on "Mother Nature’s Son,” "Yesterday,” "Your Mother Should Know,” "I’ll Follow The Sun," and "Julia." Al Di Meola features a lovely solo performance on “Here, There And Everywhere.” Across The Universe finishes with a short, but very sweet melodic version of “Octopus’s Garden.”
Across The Universe is available now as CD Digipak, 1LP+download and Digital.

This has to be one of Al’s greatest arrangements!!! Such an amazing guitarist !!!! God bless him always!!!!
Fuck! They're all great!!!!
I have long dreamed of hearing the duet of Al Di Meola and Tommy Emmanuel
Yes, that would be an awesome combination.,2 masters, yet 2 opposites in technique.
Please arrange to have Paco there as well !!

Heads would explode.
No one can play both classical and electric guitar like Al, what a great musician, brilliant influential guy
Yes, this is the Al di Meola I’d like to hear more of, going deeper into solo acoustic guitar arrangements of classic Beatles tunes.
Beautiful music perfectly matching the beautifully melancholic pictures of Hamburg.
This is beautiful! The artist simply expressing himself with no effort to impress!
Maybe one of the mot beautiful things I ever heard.
One of the most gifted masters of the guitar.
A great fan of Al since always !!!!!
An amazing artist .
Playing one of the most beautiful Beatles tunes where it all started for the Fab Four, in Hamburg, Germany. Nice move!
Indeed it is!

It's funny Al was the first fusion guitar player I heard. Today he like most accomplished guitar keep improving with age. He's presently at his best. I enjoyed listening to his version of Yesterday. I'm 62 alot of identification.

The Guitar Master in my Home town Great playing
Good re-harmonization, evoking nostalgia...I always associate Al Di Meola with a certain youth of the spirit.
An alle Howe Fans, das ist wirklich großartig und nicht so unsauber wie Howe.
De acuerdo a mi opinión, Al Di Meola es brillante, inspirado, sorprendente y con mucho sabor.

Love the camerawork on the guitar and the simplicity as a whole to invoke that nostalgia.

Talent, creativity and skill of the highest level. For years I’ve always remained very impressed with the intensity of Al’s discipline. LEGEND.
God, how I love this man
Love it .... i recall when the english youngsters worked and played music in Hamburg ....
To call this an unique arrangement by Al would be an understatement. Di Meola put the Jazz Discharge on this classic Beatles tune along with some flawless guitar virtuosity to boot
Though He is not classical guitarist,
its sound makes saraunding my heart over.
Paco still lives in heart of him.
What a great interpretation of a beautiful Beatles song. No one else can interpret as you can.
Not my favorite Beatles song but you certainly bring it to life in a way never imagined before!

Thank you, Maestro DiMiola. Yesterday..*sigh*.I recall,when I had been only playing guitar for 6 years or so,and seeing a 19 year old Al,with the other 3 prodigies in Return to Forever, shredding away on PBS (thank you, Public TV). I'm still trying to catch up.
Al does this great song justice. Bravo Sir Dimeola

Juste fermer les yeux et….voyager…La guitare sèche donne un son cristallin ( surtout quand elle est jouée par un artiste…) et vous apaise.
Il faut quand même remercier le groupe qui a révolutionné la musique dans les années 60 et 70 .
