Dave Lincoln

Guitar

As for my bio, I'll keep it brief: I've been playing for 34 years and have performed in a broad variety of musical styles around the metroplex. Everything from classic rock, blues, r&b, country, bluegrass, jazz, and big band. I believe that guitar instruction should strike a balance between music theory & technique and the practical application of concepts. Learning to play guitar well takes discipline, but it should be fun and stimulating, as well. Music is about joy and connecting to others in a meaningful way.
