But not Mario&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m a French musician. I started playing guitar at 18, right after my &#8220;my A-Levels (French Baccalaur\u00e9at)&#8221;. I just got a few lessons, then I became self-taught. My teacher at that time asked me what song I wanted to learn. It was easy for me! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Come As You Are, from Nirvana, and Be Quick Or Be Dead, from Iron Maiden. He told me : &#8220;Okay. Do you know it all comes from the blues?&#8221; So I learned the blues scales and got fed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I got myself a bunch of &#8220;Guitar Part&#8221; magazine, a Troy Stetina method to shred, a loooottt of tabs (Maiden, Slayer, AC\/DC, Metallica, Megadeth&#8230;). Some books about theory to learn modes like phrygian, mixolydian, aeolian. All that kind of -ian modes. Needless to say, I forgot most of this today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 years after starting, I played in a band for 3 years. We did a lot of gigs, released a demo, then split. We got back together with another drummer, then we stopped. Since, I didn&#8217;t play in a band. Work and kids are time-consuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I&#8217;m a computer geek, I was interested early on the help that a PC can give. I got Yamaha XG Works back in the days. Fantastic piece of MIDI software. I really liked to get drum parts with those big blue, black and orange dots. Then I got a Tascam Portastudio 414, to put the MIDI sounds on it, then play my guitar. And doing some ping-pong&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I&#8217;m a bit more evolved with a Presonus Audiobox USB 96. Wonderful audio interface. The Presonus Studio Artist One is a really great piece of software too. Really easy to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The music you hear here is coming from this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a French musician.
