Welcome to freddiepelletier.com! Freddie is an extraordinary guitar
instrumentalist who emulates the works of great American country
guitarists like Chet Atkins, Jerry Reed, and others. He also loves to pick bluegrass
tunes and traditional fiddle tunes on guitar. The site is full of
information on him
and the
CD's and teaching video's he
has produced.
There's a separate web site at
www.guitar-camp.com that is
dedicated to the
Pelletier Guitar and Music Camp, that he and his family have
created at their acreage at Birch Hills, Saskatchewan, Canada. They have
instruction on guitar, bass, fiddle, mandolin, drums and piano. You'll find all
the info you'll need if you are interested in furthering your guitar, bass, piano,
fiddle, or drum skills, in a summer
'camp' setting! Intruction by some of the best intructors in the industry - Country, Bluegrass,
Blues, Jazz, and Rock! Lessons for the basic beginner, "Strum and Sing", to the finger
style techniques of the pros. See the
Guitar Camp web site for details.
Although this site is called freddiepelletier.com, his music is really a family business so
you'll also find info on his wife, Sheila, and son Clinton
(on the Biographies page).
Sheila is an experienced rhythm
guitarist with a crystal clear voice and sings country classics, bluegrass, gospel and a handful
of 'yodeling' western tunes. Together, Freddie and Sheila perform in an acoustic concert style
setting with the rich full sound of their 1909 and 1920 Martin guitars. They spend winters in
the sunny southern states (AZ, CA, TX) entertaining at RV and Golf Resorts. You'll find their
tour schedule on this site also.
Clinton Pelletier is Freddie's pride and joy! When you hear this young guitar virtuoso play,
you'll know why. Clint plays a number of genres from jazz and flamenco to rock and bluegrass
which gives him a unique style. His highly skilled group, Eclectrip, incorporates all
this into one, making them a must hear group. You'll learn more about Clint here, on the
Biographies page.
