ABOUT
19 guitar player from Montreal. Studied jazz guitar at cegep and will study in musicology at UdeM. Did a lot of shows with my band Dial Triple Zero at many Montreal venues (Club Soda, National, Studio Juste Pour Rire, Foufounes Electriques). I post music weekly on youtube under the name Monochrome Seasons.

If you have good and serious opportunities in music, I would be interested; even more in the progressive rock and ambient genres !
Je suis francophone à la base, mais la langue n'est pas un problème pour moi, en autant que ça soit français/anglais !

Influences
Neal Morse and Steven Wilson are my most influential musicians.
I grew up listening to Joe Satriani, John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert. You can find a touch of each one of them in my lead playing, but I really have my own style. I can be a solid rhythm and lead player at the same time. I don't listen to that much guitar players now. I tend to like more all around inovative musicians than instrumentists or shredders.

Amps
Valvetrain 315 1x12. > This is my main amp, an old vintage sounding boutique tweed style amp.
Marshall MG30DFX. > My practice amp, very practical for the headphones input, if I need to play at night.
Fender Hot Rod Deville 2x12. > Best for the cleans. I should sell it soon since the Valvetrain replaced it.
Guitars
Suhr Pro Series S1 - Olympic White. > My main guitar. Alder body, maple neck with Indian Rosewood fretboard: the best fretboard I've ever played. It's so smooth to play ! It has two JST SSV Humbucker for the neck and bridge pickup and is equiped with sperzel locking tuners.
Fender Mexican Stratocaster. > My first electric guitar. It is well balanced for a mexican strat. I use it occasionally as a backup when I want single coil sounds, since most of my guitars are with humbuckers.
Epiphone Sheraton II VS. > My guitar mainly for jazz, but I found that it was quite good for rock too. I might change the pickups for Gibson 57's like a Gibson 335, it would be killer !
Takamine EGS330sc > My main acoustic guitar, that also can be plugged to a DI.
