Hey everyone,
My name is Dave, I'm a 24 year old Toronto based guitarist trying to get out there. I'd love it if you'd explore my page, I know its not much, but I hope you like what you hear. I'd love to hear from you.
All the best,
DaveBand/artist history
I started playing guitar when I was 6 years old, and have played and studied with some fabulous musicians over the years, including jazz guitar phenom Rob Campbell, Eli Kassner and Pino Boni.
Over the past decade or so, I have played with many good bands. My favourite was probably my high school band because there's just something about high school bands that brings back good memories! Since I was 12, I've been writing instrumental rock songs in hopes of one day setting out on a solo career.Have you performed in front of an audience?I do play live, right now there are no dates scheduled, but I'll definately keep you all posted for future dates.
Playing live is best described as 'absolute freedom'...a feeling you just can't get anywhere else.
Your musical influences
When I first started out playing guitar, I began with the essentials. Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen were a few of my favourites. I then got into guys like Vai, Satriani, Bettencourt, and Petrucci, all of whom have played a huge role in the development of my personal style.
Musically, there's not much I don't like. I'm the type of person that can get real satisfaction from any type of music, and I try to reflect my interests in my playing and composition.What equipment do you use?

I have heard some screwed up covers on this site... people torturing and defacing some of my favorite songs.
Yours is the first Vai cover I have heard here that actualy made my eyebrows go up... not down! Great job! I can tell allot of practice went into it.
And remember... Vai is God!
I would like to hear some original stuff from you too as you are a great guitarist.
nice touch... would like to hear an original. stop by sometime:)
Hey, I love your music dude, check out some pieces of mine, some are similar to your style. By the way, i am extreamly jealous of you with a Jem.
Keep rocking mate
