About the Author

NOOK BIO

David has been playing guitar for over 30 years, first learning rock guitar from an old beat up Strat he found in the trash. A child of the 70's and 80's, he quickly got into the styles of Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen. He was taught guitar during his Jr. High School Years and beyond by renowned jazz musician, John Hill. He then continued with guitar virtuoso Andy Rossi.

David played in numerous bands, never playing covers, but instead sticking to a set of originals he wrote and performed with his band at the time (“Crossfire”). He was also influenced heavily by the blues styles of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton which molded him into a top notch improvisational guitar player. His favorite past time is freestyle jamming with his life long guitar buddies until the late hours of the night.

David has also scored the feature length independent film “The Traveler” with a 60 track landscape of classical music. He has been involved in numerous shorts and music videos lending his guitar talent and composing skills to each of theses projects.

David’s teaching style is based on infusing his knowledge of music theory into the teaching and learning of one's favorite contemporary songs. He has found that this approach lends itself to the most comprehensive and interesting lessons as students can jump into music right away and learn without even realizing they are learning all the while applying and learning music theory.

David enjoys teaching beginners all the way up to experts and has had previous students go on to see great success, such as David Holvig from "Rebecca St. James Band" and others, like Derek James, from (Derek James Band), both have toured the US and play arenas growing and learning from all they were taught and going far beyond to develop their own unique styles and talents.
