Corey Bonnevie - Guitar
Corey Bonnevie has been playing guitar ever since he was amazed by the guitarist in his brother’s band. Corey then decided to bug mom and dad to get him an electric guitar for Christmas and of course they did. He learned the ways of the guitar from teaching himself through reading theory books. Playing guitar in his bedroom wasn't enough so he then started jamming with some friends creating a local band called The Telecasts and this is where Corey was pushed to gain some guitar chops. To improve on his technique, Corey's been learning from Steve Zaat. Corey's always trying to find ways to challenge himself in the field of guitar playing and aspires to be more comfortable playing in any musical atmosphere.
Corey advanced his overall knowledge by attending Atlantica’s Recording Arts Program, from which he graduated with High Honours. He currently teaches in the same program he graduated from as the Pro Tools Instructor and he works at Atlantica Studios as Second Engineer.
