David Vance started his musical journey in the late 70's, heavily influenced by bands such as The Eagles, ELO, Styx, Journey, Toto, Rush, Def Leppard, Pat Benetar and Boston. He sang and played guitar in a number of local bands back in the day. After a hiatus from music for a number of years, he dusted off his guitar and began helping others start their musical journey. He focuses on beginner and intermediate guitar training with an emphasis on the core components of music - melody, harmony and rhythm. David teaches guitar and music concepts at FallsRockShop.com. He also runs the website learn-to-play-rock-guitar.com. In his spare time, David writes and records music. You can check out his debut instrumental single "Beginnings" at sonicalchemycd.com.
