    I’m Philippe. Born in france but came with 6years old to Portugal an i live here ever since.
    I started late (IMO) to practice guitar and wanting to improve. I had 20, now i’m almost 25 and i’ve been pushing myself very hard practicing, and managed to be in a professional band now (we’re starting what’s gone to be my 3rd season with them).
    I’m always wanting to know more, playing better and learning more theory since i’ve always played without formal teaching.
    Rick Graham (love your playing and dedication ), Tom Quayle(awesome phrasing,i enjoy very much your way of teaching) and definitly Jack Gardiner(you have i bright future) had an impact on me lately so i decided to join in and i can truly say that this site is excellent.
    Love all the instructors.I’ve seen many lessons and i think this is only my second week here and i’ve improved a lot.

    To everyone;
    Keep playing no matter what’s outside, as long as there’s music inside of you!

    Hi Phillipe, 🙂

    I really like your advice:

    “Keep playing no matter what’s outside, as long as there’s music inside of you!”

    That’s really cool! 😎

    Welcome to IG. 😉 You’ll love it! 😎

    Hey Phillipe!

    Welcome to IG mate! Really great to have you here and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the lessons already. Good luck with the band – do you guys have a myspace?

    Let us know if you need anything – we’re here to help!

    Cheers,

    Hey Tom, we don’t have a myspace there’s a webpage ( but it’s not up to date:D) because this is a Cover band. A famous one that has already 28 years. we play all types of music, popular and traditional portuguese, rock, blues, progressive and so one. I join them so i could quit my job ( i was a construction worker) and do what i love most in my life. Playing guitar. Now i’m able to practice more and gain experience on stage wich i think make us evolve in other way. Right now i’m on vacation and i’m playing guitar more then ever lolol.
    I just can’t stop because the more i know the more i want to learn.

    So here’s the page (it’s nothing special, the only video we have there is from the 3rd gig with them:p)

    http://www.roconorte.com (it’s in portuguese but it’s easy to figure out)

    Fotos -photos
    Vídeos- Videos

    Similar to english right?

    Cheers,

    Philippe
