Serge Teyssot-Gay
Appearance

Serge Teyssot-Gay (French pronunciation: [sɛʁʒə tesɔ.ɡɛ] ⓘ; born 16 May 1963 in Saint-Étienne, Loire) is a French musician. He was the guitarist of rock group Noir Désir until 29 November 2010.[1] He met the other members of the band at school in Bordeaux (Lycée Saint-Genès) in the 1980s. Aside from Noir Désir, his other musical endeavours include:
- the trio "Zone libre ", which became a quintet for 6 albums and tours
- the guitar-oud duo with Khaled AlJaramani known as Interzone
- works with writers: music and literature[clarification needed]
- two solo albums: "Silence radio " (1996) and "On croit qu'on en est sorti " (2000)
At the beginning of his music career, he favoured the use of the Gibson Les Paul guitar. However, since the release of Noir Désir's 1996 album 666.667 Club, a custom Fender Stratocaster closely resembling the Lite Ash model[2] has become his most frequently used guitar. His brand new one is a Meloduende model "Black Sword".
