About Me
Alexandre de Guise Lamarque started out as a classical musician. Began studying music at the age of 4 under the guidance of a private family teacher, then proceeded with Music School and Academy. In his teen years got interested in Rock music and soon was involved in the professional Rock music scenery. Eventually, having successfully graduated from the University (Faculty of Physics & Philosophy), entirely devoted himself to MUSIC.
Lamarque has been working as a professional musician since 1987. Since then, along with doing various Solo projects, as a professional studio and session guitarist, songwriter and composer has collaborated with many artists and bands and has participated in a variety of Projects in Europe and UK, among them were:

In 1994, Alexandre participated in a Charity Project International Artists Against Racism, led by British actress Vanessa Redgrave, along with some other leading musicians (Bono, Kris Kristofferson), theatre and TV stars from all over the world, visiting the cities of the former Yugoslavia (Zagreb, Belgrad, Split, Sarajevo), performing in theatres, Concert halls, Art centres and refugee camps. The visit had the full support of UNICEF.
Years of experience, studying the performer schools of the distinguished Violin players of the past (Paganini, Vivaldi, Joachim, Venyavski) and playing their original exercises and pieces enabled Alexandre to have reached the heights of performance and become a Virtuoso Guitar player having designed and developed his individual playing technique and style.
As a Guitar expert, Alexandre has participated in many International Music Fairs. Alexandre's considerable experience and guitar playing skills has gained him much popularity as of a valuable and demanded studio-session player, who as well practices tuition (Workshops and Masterclasses in progressive guitar playing techniques, both electric and acoustic).
