Check out my Website:
My first guitar teacher was Denis Roy at Gaspe. He introduced me to the world of jazz. I learned guitar one year with Richard Dunn. In 1990 I moved to Trois-Rivieres for musical activities, I learned guitar one year with Michel Vaillancourt (guitarist of Andre-Philippe Gagnon). I learned guitar three years with Claude Dyotte ( he played 30 years with Guy Nadon, the jazz drummer in Montreal).
I played with the guitar sextet of Claude Dyotte, in this sextet Richard Ring and Joe Diloro was featuring on the guitar and Jean Cyr on the doublebass. Jordan Officer, guitarist of Susie Arioli Swing Bang, taught me how to embellish chord melody and I learned the old jazz, style of Freddy Green, Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian.
Since 1992, I taught guitar in different private school: Since september 2004, I am teaching the guitar at the Claviers Magiques at Trois-Rivieres Ouest. I have 40 to 50 students every week.
I was the first bass player in the band «Par Hazard Jazz» in Trois-Rivieres in 2001 with singer, Gisele Biron, piano, Luc Lacharite and Erick Laprade, the drummer and the leader of the band. I played in every «Monday jazz jam session» at the Maquisart en 2001 and 2002. I played guitar in jazz band for club date with Claude Dyotte, Sebastien Saliceti, Yan Pederson, Gordon Wood.

Coming out for July, this is my main project for 2007: I practice with a rock singer named Sonia Heon (she also plays with her french rock band ''Hors controle''), we will do Folk Rock: Janis Joplin, Sheryl Crow, Gun's and Roses, and soon we will have a demo and I will put the song on myspace page.
I'm writing a jazz method for guitar: How to read jazz chords (Chords progressions) How to analyse song? Relation between chords. Why the C major scale sound good when you play Dm7 and G7? This method will be in standard music notation and in tablature, I will suggest a lot of voice leading over the same chord.

Pour Juillet, mon projet principal est d'enregistrer un demo avec Sonia Heon, chanteuse du groupe rock ''Hors Controle'', nous allons faire un duo rock acoustique, avec des chansons de Sheryl Crow, C.C.R, Pat Benetar, Gun's and Roses.

J'écris une méthode de guitare Jazz: Comment lire les accords de jazz? beaucoup d'examples de progressions d'accords. Comment analyser les accords et la chanson? Quelles gammes fonctionnent avec quels accords et pourquoi on peut improviser en Do Majeur sur des accords de Dm7 et G7? Cette méthode sera en notation musicale standard et en tablature parce que nous travaillerons plusieurs positions d'accords (différent voicing avec les mêmes accords).
