Tell us more about yourself (place a Bio here if you wish): I began to play Flatpicking guitar when I was 14. My first influences were Doc Watson and Clarence White. After having played during a few years Watson style, I work styles of Tony Rice and Clarence White. Today I compose my own pieces.
To me another person is very importante, Charles Sawtelle, great personality flatpicking guitar player, no possible to do a copy of his style... I just saw Charles one time in my life, it was in 1984 or 85 with Hot Rize, great SOUVENIR.

Je suis content de voir et de lire de bonnes nouvelles dans notre fanzine "BLUEGRASS", un duo de flat avec Dorian quel bonheur pour nous tous amateurs de bonne guitare faltpicking. Si je peux être utile pour qui que ce soit avec ce nouveau projet, fais moi le savoir, aide de recherche de concerts, mettre quelques billes pour un futur enregistrement;), car j'adhère complètement à votre musique (bel aperçu à La Roche).
Belles photos, et je rejoints Philippe, c'est quoi cette tête de Rockbridge? tu as ça en stock? lol
Bises à vous tous

Nous avons enregistré un titre avec The Usual Suspects dont le guitariste lead est Philippe Perrard. Le morceau est sympa et il y a un bon groove.

Hi Laurent,
