Hi everyone ! I love this place, it already feels like home. Can I take the sofa?

Introduce Yourself

Jonathan Lusteau (or Stratocasseur, as you like it) 21 years old, All my teeth, almost not damaged audition. don’t be sloppy with that.

I think I’ve found the very place to be.

I’m from Nantes, little city from France (any Frenchie ? Am I the first ?) Living for music more than many other things, playing keybords, sometimes bass and Drums, I started guitar at the age of 15, six years ago now. I started because of a friend of mine make me discover Yngwie’s second album. He was quite the only guitarist I wanted to hear and play on. Then doctors carry me, I have a very good medication…

Anyway, I would be very happy to meet people searching for others guitarists, maybe to make a band or something, people who are familiar with CTC stuff (like everyone here for the moment I guess).
It would also be a pleasure to share good vibes and experience with all of you ! See you there !

Thank you guys :slight_smile:

@kounistou

Yeah, it refers to 70’ and 80’ strat players who destroyed their instrument on stage like Blackmore, Malmsteen, and others.
Though it was so badass at the time, It would seem … inapropriate to do it today, I think. I love way too much instruments, for all the work it implies, let’s imagine this with a luthier’s guitar or even a authentic strat… XD

You do ? ^^ Did you went in France ?
It is possible that sometimes my english isn’t correct or idiomatic, but I am still learning by reading. (Life is a constant learning.)

Bonjour Stratocasseur!

Sorry for the delay. Yes I went to France several times. I have plenty of friends in Paris. Who knows, maybe we can make a French speaking CTC meeting one day!

I don’t know a lot of French shredders (maybe you could share some names). But I used to be a fan of Patrick Rondat! Great alternate picker!

Cheers,
Amine

It would be such a great moment ! But for now, we are only two.
Well, this is still enough for a jam or even discussing. :slight_smile:

Sure, Patrick Rondat did really inspired albums, Ephemeral world is a true masterpiece. :smiley:

If you’re looking for French killers, go check out Christophe Godin, and Stephan Forté.
The first one is a good friend of Mattias Eklundh and Ron Thal (by the way, Stephan Forte must know them, everyone met each other at gigs and events)

Hope to read and listen to you soon :slight_smile:

Edit: Are your friends musicians too ?
