Stephen "Steve" Ouimette (born June 18, 1968) is a rock guitarist. He is known for performing a cover version of the hit song "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" (which was originally by the Charlie Daniels Band) for the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, in which the parts played on the fiddle are instead played on an electric guitar (though the lyrics remained unchanged). Aside from this track, Ouimette also recorded seven other songs for the game,[1] and also made a version of the Christmas carol "We Three Kings" released as downloadable content for Guitar Hero III.[2]
In the early 1990s he played guitar with the Californian hard-rock band T-Ride. He was also associated with 1980s rock group, Snaketrain.
On October 12, 2010, Ouimette released the digital version of his solo debut album, EPIC. The physical version, which contained a bonus DVD, was released on October 26, 2010.[3]
