About this blog

There are many materials regarding classic rocks guitarists. But the media coverage of indie guitarists is bad, not to say null. It’s true it’s not in the DNA of indie rock to glorify guitarists, still some of them stand out from the mass with their approach of playing guitar. This music blog aims to share what I find so outstanding regarding my favorite indie guitarists. In addition I hope to touch a community with the same tastes willing to share their passion and knowledge.

About me

My name’s Yves and I’m passionate about music, especially indie rock. As often the discovery started with my parents and their good classic rock old stuffs (e.g. Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Police, Dire Straits…) then it went on with some friends sharing their trendy bands and last findings with me. In the meantime I studied classical guitar at the academy until I got graduated but I was not satisfied, something was missing.

The quest for teenage fulfillment and the random meeting of fellow students being in the same mindset were the trigger for sharing records of our favorite bands and starting playing music together – we hardly dared talking about a band at that early stage. But confidence and trust came with time and got materialized into a band and then several others that were obviously influenced by our favorite indie bands.

Now I’ve got a wife and two kids. I still play guitar but less often. Though the passion is still there and this blog is a new way to keep it alive. Hopefully it could contribute to bring out indie guitarists! And maybe create new vocations as for my kid…
