Hello stranger, Welcome to my channel!

My name is Pascal Meunier. I live in South of Spain (21 years by now) although I am originally from Belgium, raised over there in a small town called "Opstal-Buggenhout". Darn, I miss that place!

4 years ago, on one very special evening in 2006, I typed the word "tablature" into Google... purely coincidentally (?) I stumbled upon a tablature from Tommy Emmanuel: "The man with the green finger". I downloaded the required software reader...and I remember I was in complete awe when I watched that tablature reader reproducing that tune! I was absolutely fascinated. The next step was evident: " lets Youtube that guy". (although the Tube was rather new at that time...) and bingo! While watching him play I taught: I want a piece of that kind of fun... Suddenly I remembered I had a guitar somewhere in my house; indeed, there it was: hidden under my bed for that last 17 years or so.....! (I will never forget those old strings on that 30 year old Hashimoto....And, although 4 years ago, I still can remember that awful smell from those old stings. Alas, I will never forget my girlfriends reaction: " You can actually play some stuff on that thing?!"
:-D

I bought a new guitar... printed and tried to play every tablature I could get my hands on, as I became aware the Net was loaded with tabs... I even went to see TE in Madrid.... I was *boum-chickin' * full time!

It took no time for me to go back to my first Love, I used to play -and even compose- a lot in DADGAD...so "on one very special evening" in 2007 ;-D I tuned her down into DADGAD.... renewed my Love and utter passion (that I never really lost over the years..) for Pierre Bensusan... and the rest is history.

It is fair to say that Emmanuel brought back my guitar in my life, Bensusan.... the Music.

Today, I exclusively play in DADGAD. I "work" my instrument very VERY VEERRRYYY intensely now and I try to present each video the very best I possibly can.

Little by Little I seem to be able to reproduce what I hear in my head. ( I do have an extraordinary radio channel in my head!!!) Soon, very soon I hope, I merely will upload my original compositions, which are merely reproductions of what I hear on that Radio....

Today I have around 30 videos up here. The very first videos are....just awful, to say the least. But I leave them on here. First, because I never (?) regret what I do (well, I do regret I stopped playing and making music for so long, that is for sure!) And second, I think it is interesting to see how my playing evolves and matures over the last 4 years (does it? )

My videos here are for pure entertainment only. When merely playing between 4 walls, YouTube offers a great alternative to set and give it all perspective: As my 4 walls don't seem to give a toss about my playing , your feedback is more than appreciated. Oh, I'm self taught, and do not read music, let alone write music.
