Dave Barton first studied guitar by trying to copy Chet Atkins records at the age of 10, and started gigging professionally at 16. He went on to study classical guitar at Queens University with Elli Kassner and Aaron Skitri. Self-study in jazz was a constant theme throughout his formative years, and Dave is a busy guitarist and teacher in Kingston, Ont. Active in live performance and studio work, Dave has been fortunate to perform with many of Canadas great jazz players: Sonny Greenwich, Ed Bickert, Phil Nimmons, Sam Noto, Brian Dickenson, John MacLeod, Phil Dwyer, Jon Ballantine, Denny Christianson, Mike Murley, Rob Campbell, Chris McCann, Dave Young, Barry Romberg, Aaron Davis, Bernie Senensky, Roddy Elias, Rob Frayne, Kenny Wheeler, Greg Runions, Jim Galloway, Oliver Jones, Ranee Lee, Richard Ring, and many others....Have you performed in front of an audience?yes!!
