I'm Jean Felix Benoit I'm guitar player since 1978. I play several styles like: jazz, pop, reggae, roots music etc and I have a large experience playing live, with band, and I studied in: Escuela Superior de Música in Mexico and Ecole Nationale des Arts in Haiti. I have a YouTube page (Jean Felix Benoit). I explain in it in Spanish some basic techniques to play jazz and I can help young people kids or adults to perform with band and solo.

I am a 58 year old musician who started playing at 8 years old. I have toured professionally all over the United States and Canada, playing guitar, keyboards, bass, and vocals. It would be a pleasure to share my real world experience with you and get you on the road to your journey!
