Hi, I’m David!

I’m the Founder of Guitar Playback, and I’ve been teaching guitar for over 30 years. I picked up my first guitar at 15 years old—and from that moment I was hooked. Right away, I loved the feeling of picking up the instrument and just… playing.

Obviously, that didn’t come right away. I knew I had to practice. But I wanted it to be effortless. Free. So in my naivety, I took a different route. I started teaching guitar almost straight away. Not because I was any good at it. No— it was because I realised teaching guitar would solidify what I was learning at the time and help me truly understand how to play.

And it worked. Since then, I’ve spent the last 30 years teaching guitar to players all over the world. I realized that there were more people out there like me—people like you. People who want to be able to express what’s in your head out into your music. Who just plain deserve to feel free and relaxed every time you pick up the guitar.
