Dave Whitcher

Lives in OR, United States

I was born in 1967 and have been playing guitar since the age of 17. Initial influences include Michael Schenker, Ted Nugent and Jimmy Page. Spent two years studying music at Washington State University before attending G.I.T. in 1987-88, from which I graduated. I have performed professionally in many different situations, including rock bands, classical guitar for wedding ceremonies, jazz combos, and solo acoustic "unplugged" format with vocals. I have been teaching since 1986, and currently have a student roster of 20, ranging in age from 8 to 50.
