Metal Beast + Musician in Ottawa, ON

ABOUT

I am a formally schooled guitarist (6 and 7 strings and Royal Conservatory Classical) I have experience in the pro-studio (with bands you've heard of) and also do production and performance consultations.

I teach as well, so if you feel you'd like or need some lessons, stage coaching or just a second opinion on guitar in general, contact me and we can arrange a time. I am currently living in Ottawa/Orléans.

It occurred to me that some of you might want this:
