Hey guitar players! My name is Dave, and I’ve taught guitar at all levels for over 2 decades. Connect with me here to learn how I can help you!

Dave has been working with my 7 yr old daughter for the past year. He is very patient and makes learning guitar enjoyable.

My daughter has been taking lessons from Dave for just months now and we have already seen substantial improvement in her playing. She gets to learn the guitar while playing her favorite songs.

I've been working with Dave for several years now and I would highly recommend him. Not only can he teach you the basics and how to play your favorite songs, but if you want to take the guitar to a higher level, he can also help you learn the technique and theory you need to advance in whatever style interests you.

I've been working with Dave for a few years now, and I've found him to be a great teacher. I study mostly rock and blues for both electric and acoustic guitar, and started with him as a beginner.

He balances theory with practical playing techniques, and is positive all the time. I would highly recommend him to any level of guitar student.

My 17 year old son has been taking lessons from Dave for over a year. Dave is very patient, focused and flexible in his teaching style. Dave adjusts the lessons to my son's interests while taking into consideration my son's playing ability. My son will come to a lesson with a song that he wants to play and Dave is able to hear the song and then write down the notes and chords for my son to take home and practice during the week. My son really enjoys going to his lesson each week and I would definitely recommend Dave to anyone who is looking to begin, continue or renew playing the guitar.

After 40 years of fooling around with the guitar I decided to actually learn something. Dave seems to know everything about the guitar and music in general. He can play and teach many styles, knows theory and even a lot of interesting trivia. I am working on rock and blues with my electric guitar and finger style with my acoustic. All good and having a great time. I wish I had considered working with Dave a couple of years sooner.

I've worked with Dave for about 8 months and I and am very happy with my progress. We started by filling in the (large) gaps in my music theory, with him giving me exercises, ideas, and tips to make playing much more enjoyable. He has identified key elements that have improved my playing style and we work on these regularly. As well as being very patient with me, he is fun to work with and fosters a productive but stress free environment.

I have been working with Dave for the past few months and my experience so far has been fantastic.

Dave is a really good instructor. He teaches you the music you want to learn instead of box cutter lessons and divides your lesson from guitar instruction to theory. He makes learning guitar fun.

Mr.Dave is THE best guitar teacher ever! When I moved to California, I decided to try different teachers! Boy was that a HUGE mistake, I had some of the worst experiences ever! I am so thankful he allowed me to sign back up for his lessons via Skype! He is very patient and kind!! Thank you Mr.Dave! You rock!

Dave is a great guitar teacher! He is very knowledgeable, professional, responsive, punctual, etc. I feel like a lot of teachers sort of wing it when they see you and a lot of the time they don't really understand your goals, but Dave is very good at understanding what you want/need and helping you get there. He's also a really nice guy.

I also love that I get to take my lessons with him via Skype because there's no commute to see him and I feel it ends up saving me a lot of time. It might seem scary or weird at first if you don't use Skype a lot, but I highly recommend it!

Dave's an incredible teacher. Though I've played for years, my knowledge of the fretboard and technique have grown so much as a result of Dave's holistic approach. He has a way of giving you the full picture so that everything comes together in your development and command of the instrument, from theory to application. Plus, he consistently challenges you to keep growing and expanding your horizons. And now, back to practice!
