    About Dave B.

    5.0
    (11)
    I've been playing the guitar for 25 years now and teaching for nearly two decades. In 2006, I received his BA in Jazz performance from U-Mass Amherst and since then I've performed anywhere from local bars and cafes, in pits for musical theater, as a show band musician for Carnival Cruise Lines and has even been fortunate enough to have played with James Taylor and Nigel Hall. In college, I started teaching to make some spending money and quickly realized it was a passion of mine. After college I took a slight hiatus between teaching conversational English in France and the whole Cruise ship thing, but once I made it back to land, I began teaching for a local music school, music store and the local community college as well before I decided to move to Denver in 2013. Over the nearly 7 years spent in Denver, I taught for a variety of school including running my own operation and teaching for jamplay.com. Currently I’m back in western mass, teaching privately and gigging locally.

    Dave is the best instructor I could have hoped for. As an older beginner, I was not sure how much I could pick up but I have made good progress in the past year with his lessons. Lots of fun, look forward to learning more riffs and songs!

    My 11 year old has had weekly guitar lessons from Dave for two years now. Her knowledge and confidence in playing the guitar, has greatly improved. Dave gets all the credit for that. He works well with her, is communicative, and is as flexible as he can be, even last minute. I have, and will continue to recommend Dave to anyone interested in taking guitar lessons
