David's Guitar Studio

I used to take lessons from Dave when we both lived in Victoria, BC - he taught me through high school and helped get me involved in a premier music program there.

Dave was an amazing instructor, an extremely talented and experienced musician, and just a great, humble, down-to-earth guy. He was definitely pivotal in the role music would play in my life.

Thanks, Dave!

Dave is an incredible well rounded professional guitarist. I wish there were more like him. His own skill set is incredible in pop, rock, jazz, r&b...and his ability to communicate those skills to others is a special gift that he has developed with well thought out and personal methods. A fantastic teacher, and player, and an all around great guy.

David taught me guitar for 5 years, from my introduction to the instrument to my entrance into a post-secondary music program. His knowledge of music is truly remarkable, but what really makes David stand out is the care with which he treats every lesson. He is completely tuned in to each student's short- and long-term goals and tailors every single session to build toward them. David is a joy to spend time with, he is generous with his time and effort, and most importantly he makes learning music exciting. I could not recommend him more highly!!

Dave taught me everything I needed to know at a young age to give me a lifetime of fun with a guitar, and he can do the same for you. His humour will keep you smiling the whole lesson. You'll walk out jamming a new tune every session. He's definitely the guy you want in charge of teaching you your new hobby.

I spent 4 years taking lessons from Dave while he lived in Victoria. He took my skills on guitar and bass to a whole new level within the first year alone, and throughout the next three we developed my understanding of theory and soloing technique extensively, while also becoming close friends. I would recommend Dave to any guitar or bass player, regardless of their level of experience.
