To learn more and improve his musical studies, he enrolled at the CMCN at Nancy. He began to play for many well known guitarists in France including Chistophe Godin. This was soon followed by a course at the London Musical Institute, more to gain contacts within the music industry than intensive study. He spent his time productively, playing with many bands in London clubs.
Patrice was still in London when he was contacted by Patrick Rondat - French
Instrumental Hard Rock Guitarist - in 1994, and invited to audition with
a view to working together. The meeting and the audition were a success,
and Patrice appeared as bass player on the 'Amphibia' album released
in 1996, and has played on all of Patrick's albums since.
The 'Amphibia Tour' followed the album release. Playing the entire Tour with Patrick, the inclusion of Patrice Guers own composition 'Tryon Avenue', gave the opportunity to see this bass man in action as a solo player!
