Jeremy MANNHARD
About
I was born in 1991 and have been immersed in music since childhood. Growing up with a musician father, I attended my very first concert, Scorpions, at just six years old. I picked up the guitar at 14, and for over 20 years now, I've been shaping a unique, expressive and versatile style. Entirely self-taught, I'm driven purely by passion.
My influences range from rock, heavy and hard rock to metalcore, deathcore, thrash, death and hardcore, while also exploring acoustic and ambient chill styles. This wide palette allows me to switch between deep, fluid melodies, fast and precise riffs, intricate rhythm parts and melodic solo work.
My journey has taken me on stage across Europe, with over 50 shows as a session guitarist alongside international bands like Lonewolf and Dust In Mind. My approach is always heartfelt and authentic, with a deep connection to the music – played with soul, intensity and depth.
As an ENFJ-A personality, I value human connection, respect and sharing. I speak both French and English and love working with artists of all backgrounds and levels.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and highly personalized. I adapt to each student’s pace, interests, and goals, whether it’s learning your first chords, improving your technique, or diving into songwriting. I believe in making progress enjoyable and sustainable, combining structure with creativity. Lessons are interactive and hands-on, with a focus on real-world application, so you can grow as both a musician and a creative individual.
Curriculum
My teaching method combines structured exercises with creative exploration. I start with fundamental skills such as rhythm, chord progressions, and technique, and gradually integrate improvisation, ear training, and theory into the lessons. Depending on the student’s goals, I also introduce songwriting, arranging, and performance practice.
Credentials & Affiliations
I have over a decade of professional performance and teaching experience as a guitarist. Since 2010, I have been providing in-person guitar lessons in Sélestat (Alsace, France) and the surrounding area, working with students of all ages on both acoustic and electric guitar.
My performance background includes extensive live experience with several bands across Europe. In 2011, I performed with Dragonsfire in the Netherlands. In 2013, I played with Lonewolf at the Grillen in Colmar, followed by an international concert in Valencia, Spain (2014). In 2016, I returned to Spain for further performances with Lonewolf. In 2017, I joined Dust in Mind as rhythm guitarist on the Coming Home Tour 2017 with PAIN, performing in major venues such as La Maison Bleue (Strasbourg, France, March 25), Arden Metal Fest (Sault-les-Rethel, France, April 7), B90 (Gdansk, Poland, April 14), Progresja (Warsaw, Poland, April 15), Loftas (Vilnius, Lithuania, April 16), Rockclub Trapper (Tallinn, Estonia, April 17), Klubs Meln Piekdiena (Riga, Latvia, April 18), Place of Sports (Minsk, Belarus, April 19), Sentrum (Kiev, Ukraine, April 20), Quantic Pub (Bucharest, Romania, April 22), Mixtape 5 (Sofia, Bulgaria, April 23), and Dom Omladine (Belgrade, Serbia, April 24).

More recently, I performed at the Skull Crush Festival with Abandoned at the Grillen in Colmar (March 26, 2022).
