Acclaimed Guitarist Rocks the Riviera

Monte first picked up a guitar at the age of 13 and was inspired in his early years by the music of KISS, Metallica, Pink Floyd and Radiohead. Along with playing for Madonna, Monte has collaborated with glam-rock star Adam Lambert, and was a member of the rock group Prong. He has won numerous music industry awards, including Best Solo Artist at the 2012 Artists in Music Awards and a Career Achievement Award from the Hollywood F.A.M.E Awards.

Monte has written and performed two solo albums, “The Deepest Dark,” released in 2009 and “Pain, Love & Destiny,” released in 2011.

He is currently signed with Metal Blade Records and will release his third album later this year.

When he’s not on the road touring with Madonna or recording albums, Monte gets involved with music-related charities such as Little Kids Rock, a fundraiser that restores music education to underserved public schools. He also donated a guitar he played at the Super Bowl halftime performance to the Dream Foundation, helping to raise $10,000.

Monte and his wife, Lisa, a model and actress with a professional photography business, enjoy all the benefits of living in the Riviera, including the fact that they are just down the street from Lisa’s parents.

After an energetic world tour with Madonna and the hundreds of others involved in putting on a large production, it’s nice to come home to a quiet, laid-back neighborhood with soft ocean breezes.

Visit Monte’s official website, montepittman.com, for news on his latest releases and performances. To book a private guitar lesson with Monte, email him at montepittmanmusic@gmail.com. For professional photography by Lisa, including weddings and portraits of all types, go to: atticusandbea.com.

Interested in learning how to play the guitar or improve your current skills? Why not take private lessons in your own home from Madonna’s lead guitarist?

Fortunately for Riviera residents, Monte Pittman -- the main guitarist who plays with pop music legend Madonna in mega arenas around the world -- calls this part of the world home.

Monte has played on every live tour with Madonna since 2001 and has also co-written some of her songs. He even performed with her on the 2012 Super Bowl halftime show, the Grammys

and the MTV Video Music Awards. Monte met the mega star through a

strange twist of fate. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles from Texas back in 1999 to pursue a music career, Monte took a job at Guitar Center to make ends meet. He soon realized that giving private lessons would be a lot more fun and financially rewarding. Monte’s third student was British film director Guy Ritchie, who had been given a guitar as a gift by his then girlfriend Madonna. When Guy returned the favor with a similar gift for Madonna, she too turned to Monte for lessons and a great musical partnership was born.

Happy Thanksgivukah? That may be the operative greeting this year when the first full day of Chanukah and Thanksgiving converge on Thursday, November 28.

This rare occurrence hasn’t happened since 1888. One more reason to feast on that day!

Another Satisfied Client

April 2013 To whom it may concern:

I am writing this letter to recommend Igor Nastaskin if you need a realtor. I needed to sell my home in Torrance as a result of a divorce. Years earlier I had spoken to Igor about selling my home. I contacted Igor who ended up listing the home and it sold in early 2011. After selling the home I was eager to get back into the market. I asked Igor if he would help me find a home. Igor recommended that I should wait to purchase a home in order to come to my senses after the divorce. As knee jerk reac-tion I was going to purchase a home in an area that in the long term would not have been in my best interest. At the moment I knew that Igor was truly looking out for my best interest. Igor gave me the best advice that I could have gotten at that time.

In late 2012, I contacted Igor to get back into the market to purchase a home. After a four month search I purchased a home in Torrance this past December. I moved in the home two days before the end of the year. I am extremely happy with the home and got a really good deal because of Igor's contacts within the real estate realtors community. Because of Igor's advice I ended up in a much better home and area.

If you are looking to purchase or selling a home I would highly rec-ommend Igor for your real estate needs. Igor is a true professional and I highly recommend him for your real estate needs. Sincerely, Daniel Mendoza
