Welcome
My name is Robert Côté, I’ve been involved in music from an early age, my musical background created an interest strong enough to pursue schooling. My influences were of course from the Beatles all the way from Georges Benson to Django Reinhardt and everything in between, but most important and without a doubt, being around professional musicians helped me develop my own identity. Today, I am an accomplished guitarist, with more than thirty years knowledge. I have worked throughout Ontario, Quebec and Upper New York State. My style is a versatile, contemporary, easy listening instrumental, “live” music. I personally enjoy the soft romantic style, therefore I can honestly say that my music would most definitely create the elegant atmosphere or ambiance you need to enhance your evening or to make any of your Special Events a successful one.

imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody
imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and
harmony imposes compatibility upon the
incongruous.

Approach your guitar intelligently, and if there
are limits, don't deny them. Work within your
restrictions. Some things you can do better than
others, some things you can't do as well. So
accentuate the positive.

should say play, because if you love it, that's
what it amounts to I haven't found any shortcuts,
and I've been looking for a long time.
- Chet Atkins (June 20, 1924 - June 30, 2001)
Mister Guitar in Zen Guitar
It is only by introducing the young to great
literature, drama and music, and to the excitement
of great science that we open to them the
possibilities that lie within the human spirit --
enable them to see visions and dream dreams.
