Remi Boucher: classical guitar:
Classical Guitarist Rémi Boucher was born in 1964 in Rouyn-Noranda (Québec Canada). He studied the classical guitar at the Montreal Conservatory with Jean Vallières and afterwards completed his studies in Spain (with J. Henriquez, J. L. Rodrigo, V. Mikulka, David Russell, M. Barrueco), in Belgium at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp with (V. van Puijenbroeck) and in Switzerland at the Basel Academy with O. Ghiglia. He is now living in Austria. Those travels would not have been accomplished without the aid of the "Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec" and the Canada Council, which not only offered him many grants, but the Sylva Gelber Award, making Rémi Boucher the first guitarist in 30 years to win this honor! In addition to his many national and international prizes, in less than 18 months, Rémi Boucher has conquered Europe, America and Asia winning at the unanimously
the first prize in five of the most important international music competitions. (Alessandria in Italy, Andrès Segovia in Palma de Mallorca in Spain, Havana in Cuba, Mauro Guiliani in Turin, and Fernando Sor in Roma).
With such success, he was invited by many major symphonic orchestras giving him the opportunity to perform up to ten of the greatest guitar concertos and having the privilege to play under the direction of Leo Brouwer, the famous Cuban composer.
His love and relationship with other cultures, and his interest in all kinds of instruments, helped him to discover new technical possibilities which allow him to enlarge the capabilities of the instrument. A pioneer in that domain, he collaborates closely with composers to create a repertory that serves these new musical possibilities. To study those techniques Rémi Boucher has also created a series of his own compositions and a new technical method. His most recent success was the result of seven years collaboration with his favorite composer and pianist Canadian Jacques Marchand ...

Jens Hausmann, musician based in Detmold, Germany. Contemporary acoustic Singer/Songwriter with a bluesy soul. Includes bio, press, tour, mp3, lyrics, workshops and photos. Website in German and English. Der Gitarrist u. Liedermacher Jens Hausmann und seine Musik. Site officiel de le chanteur et guitariste acoustique Jens Hausmann. Biographie, concerts, extraits audio et photos.
Jens Hausmann writes and sings clever songs from the heart with a more than solid musicianship there is no time where it's finished. This is vintage music: something that never goes out of style, joyful, playful made with lips & fingers. This doesn't mean being against new technical achievements, but isn't it great if it works without plugging things for half an hour? It's a much more intimate and personal thing, as life should be! So, if you're fed up with fast-food and still have an attention span longer than a few minutes stick around! ...

guitar tips: The Capricious Caddis
This study is one that I use frequently as a warm-up exercise. It is also included in the soon to be released book from Mel Bay publications entitled Getting into Fingerstyle Guitar. This study is called "The Capricious Caddis." A caddis is a water bug, and because this piece uses slurs it reminded me of the erratic or "capricious" movements of a water bug. The entire piece is based on slurs, which are also known as "hammer-on’s" and "pull-off’s." In order to properly execute slurs and other challenging fingerings, it is very important to keep your fingers and left hand in the optimal position.
In addition to slurs, there are many instances in fingerstyle pieces in which the player must achieve long stretches or unorthodox hand positions in order to achieve the desired harmony. These hand positions are much easier to achieve if the correct "hand posture" is adhered to. Let’s look at some of the main points of correct "hand posture". These points describe the "general" or "home base" hand position. Of course your hand position changes angles throughout the performance of a piece, but this is the basic position ...

Joyce Cooling:
Guitarist,
Vocalist,
Songwriter:
A few short years ago, guitarist and songwriter Joyce Cooling took a good, hard look at her life. Glued to the TV like the rest of us, Cooling remembers the days after 9/11 and found her perspective on life jolted. "I asked myself," she recalls, "Is what Iím doing as a musician meaningful?" After lengthy, ardent talks with her long-time collaborator and partner Jay Wagner about a potential life without a career in music, Cooling proclaimed, "I don't know about you, but this girl's got to play."
Cooling has always wanted to make music.
Growing up in New Jersey and New York, she absorbed a wide variety of music and amassed a huge record collection. "My collection contains Ornette Coleman, João Bosco, and Bill Evans, but it also includes James Brown, Maurice Ravel, Jimi Hendrix, Abbey Lincoln and Aerosmith as well music from all over the world," she notes. "I like R&B. I like folk. I like heavy metal and headbanger stuff. I like punk. I like rap. I just like good music. There are no boundaries with me."
Coolingís penchant for the eclectic continued when she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1980s and began dabbling in keyboards and percussion. Music had long been the most passionate part of her life, but an actual career as a musician started taking shape only after she began hanging around an African drumming class taught by C.K. Ladzekpo, a renowned Ghanaian percussionist. Integrating the polyrhythmic sophistication of West African music with her passion for melody and harmony, Cooling focused her attention on playing, singing, and songwriting. "Everything crystallized when I heard Wes Montgomery's solo on If You Could See Me Now. From then on, it was as if guitar had chosen me."
Teaching herself to play guitar by ear, she developed a personal style of finger picking that has given her playing its unique sound and feel ...
