Jazz, Classical and modern guitar arrangements performed instrumentally on solo electric guitar. Perfect for Cocktail hours, Weddings, Casual or formal events as well as restaurants and coffee shops. Having been a musician and teacher for many years I am extremely professional and very accommodating for requests and being a solo musician take up a small amount of space in a room well providing maximum enjoyment for all patrons as well as staff.
We hired Matthew for our work holiday party and he was amazing. He is exceptionally talented and extremely easy to work with. His playing is smooth and beautifully performed. The comments I received from our staff were top notch. He played for 4.5 hours with a few small breaks here and there and that is truly impressive. If I ever need a guitar player again I will be giving him a call. THANKS Matthew, you made our event truly special.
Matthew did a great job for our corporate event. Showed up early, dressed professionally and performed beautifully. THANK YOU!
Could not be happier with our experience. He plays so well!! Our wedding was made so special by having live guitar and I would pick Matthew again in a heart beat. Great work and very professional.
Matthew delivers. At our recent wedding event Mathew was asked to provide background music during our patio pre and post ceremony gathering. We were very pleased with his music selection, skill and decorum. Matthew also played the music selections we had asked for at the processions to and from the wedding ceremony. Outdoor venues can be challenging but Matthew was very comfortable in this setting. We would not hesitate to reach out for his music services in the future.
This gentleman's performance was absolutely perfect. He provided wonderful background music without being overwhelming or unduly loud. There is just something about live music that is just unequaled in its ability to create a festive atmosphere. This was no different. I highly recommend this gentleman as his skill and professionalism were top notch:) Thanks Matt for a wonderful evening:) Annemarie.
Matthew was a pleasure to work with. He knew the songs, always showed up on time, and played very well. I look forward to the next gig with him.

A highly adaptable highly Professional musician with many years experience with minimal setup time and gear able to perform a wide range of music. Perfect for office parties or wedding cocktail receptions looking for something a little different from the normal classical or jazz guitar sounds.
Matthew Lamothe has been an Ottawa-based, professional musician for the past 8 years and a guitar instructor for 5 years. He is an enthusiastic instructor who emphasizes fun, musical development, and commitment. The main goal of his classes are to encourage students to cultivate their passion for music.
Matthew began playing the guitar at 13 after his father gave him a small acoustic guitar that had been collecting dust in a closet. After a few years of playing chords and learning through magazines, he began taking formal lessons on technique and theory to create a solid foundation for his musical practice. After moving to Ottawa in 2008, he attended Algonquin College for the Music Industry Art program. There, he learned recording technology and attained a certificate in pre-music production. After graduating, Matthew joined local rock band Pretty Little Death Machine (PLDM), recorded two albums, and toured across Canada. After that Matthew played in three more local bands gnarly brown as well as elementals and Scott Kelly and the dynamics before embarking on a solo career in 2023.
