Since he first picked up an electric guitar that his parent’s gave to him for Christmas 17 years ago, Dave has not been able to put down his guitar and he hopes that once you’ve taken lessons with him that you’ll feel the same way. Dave’s many years of learning and teaching the guitar have taught him that no matter how far you’ve gone in mastering the guitar, there is always something new to learn. Guitar playing is a challenge at all levels and through his experience he hopes to impart to you the right tools to meet that challenge.
