[edit] History
David was first bitten by the bug of "rock'n'roll" after hearing the Kiss album Alive II. Many Kiss album's followed, as did releases from Deep Purple, The Who, Van Halen, Iron Maiden and many more. He was strongly influenced early on by the great rock guitar players of the time - being the late 70's and early 80's. Upon hearing Yngwie J. Malmsteen's debut album, Rising Force, David realised that a lot more work was required to become a truly great player. He then spent hours upon hours per day mastering his craft. He developed a formidable reputation in and around his hometown region, which still follows him today - and gets bigger as more people get to hear him.
