Chris Lavigne on SoundBetter

Franco-American professional guitarist with 25 years experience recording music - If you are looking for a unique guitar part with soul, I am your guy. I am playing for your song and not for my ego. Key is to understand what you are looking for, the type of sound, the vibe and I will do my best to match your expectations.

Recording is different than playing live - I did both for 25 years and I will be more than happy to help you achieving your goals - Doing music is my passion. II love recording, trying new things. From top notch Gibson Les Paul, Flying V, ES335 to custom shop fender, I have the guitar for your songs. same for the amps - Marshall, VOX, Orange, Kemper and more- On the acoustic side, Taylor are my favorite but I love my Gibson too. Anyway, send me your songs, tell me what you want, the vibe, your chord progression and the inspiration behind your song and we will make it happen -
If I don t connect with your song, I will let you know so you can pick someone else - talk to you soon and keep doing music !
