Davids an incredibly gifted teacher that I recommend to guitarists of all levels. In just a few lessons his technique laid the groundwork for being a more competent and cognizant musician, and after 6 months the change in my playing was dramatic.

David combines teaching the fundamental techniques with showing me how to play the songs that I actually /want/ to play. Both aspects are being taught with great professionalism as well as a good dosage of fun. I can only highly recommend him!

David is a fantastic teacher. He is extremely attentive and very adaptable to what you want as a student. I had no previous guitar experience and needed to learn basics for a show and he made it happen. I highly recommend him!
