I am a Solo Classical Guitarist. I have played in Guitar Trios, Duets with Flute and Violin but travel primarily as a Solo Artist.
This is a WORLD PREMIERE of a piece entitled Serenade No. 3 by Composer, David Yeagely. It was written for me last year so I thought it would be nice to add it to my page. Enjoy!

Sounds Like
I am a very agressive Classical Guitarist. I like to think I sound like that of Yamashita. I do not really enjoy listening to Conservative Guitarists. It bores me to hear no emotion and no risk involved because a musician is taking a song at a very slow tempo. Because of the way I play, it is very much in your face at all times and have been criticized because of it saying that I sound like Yamashita. That is my whole point though....Success!
Life is good... :)
