*Everything you find on this profile is either a jam or a work-in-progress : no songs to go on CD, no finished projects, only sketches and ideas, or surprise jams* Everything you hear comes from my guitar! Not that much, but I use 8 different guitars, I record, mix and masterize everything, I do all the videos, I overdub a lot and I try to cross the final frontier : where no note as rung before... I also made my Youtube, MySpace and Facebook pages on my own and I try to learn a new thing everyday. Antrhopologist by formation, musician in the soul, I made the choice and I'll live with the consequences : I was born to play music! Here's my story, short version! Started playing guitar at 15 on a Yamaha electric guitar, formed a band called HellHeaven in 1994, with influences from Metallica, Manowar, Slayer, Pantera, and other Heavy Metal bands. Got 1 gig at the Jailhouse Rock Cafe in 1995, and finally broke the band 6 months later, and changed dramatically my guitar playing : I traded my JCM 800 + Gallien Krueger bottom for a motorcycle, and traded my brand new Ibanez electric guitar for a Yamaha Classical guitar... So I went on learning and playing Classical guitar, and got lots of gig (Cegep en spectacle 1995-96-97, open jams and surprise shows). And it went on until I learned that it was possible to record easily with a computer, near 2000. I learned by myself and finally got my own computer in 2002, and I've been recording and playing since then, I am unstoppable...I invite some people to take part : Thanks to Fred V, Phil F and Dave P for support and knowledge, especially to Fred V for his crazy jazz guitar. J'ai commence a jouer a 15 ans sur une Yamaha bas de gamme, parti un groupe appelle HellHeaven en 1994 avec des influences Metal et on a fait 1 show au Jailhouse Rock Cafe en 1995 avant de se separer et que je change dramatiquement mon jeu de guitare. J'ai vendu mon JCM 800 + Gallien Krueger bottom et ma nouvelle Ibanez pour acheter une moto et une Yamaha classique, pour apprendre le fingerpicking. J'ai pratique jusqu'a ce que je fasse Cegep en spectacle 1995-96-97, quelques apparitions speciales et des shows surprises. Merci a Phil F, Dave P et Fred V (solo Jazz).
