John David (Glendale, CA) is a master on banjo, mandolin, dobro, guitar, and harmonica. He also plays fiddle and bass. He toured with music luminaries the Limeliters, performed with Leon Redbone, and has recorded for many television shows, commercials, and movie soundtracks. John created two instructional videos, on banjo and mandolin, for the Warner Brothers “Ultimate Beginner” series. While the Denver Post describes him as a “guitarist’s guitarist”, John is also eager to help everyday people with the challenges of learning to jam.
“The atmosphere at the jam workshop made everyone, beginners and experienced alike, feel welcome and comfortable.
“John is really a fabulous teacher who possesses that rare combination: the ability to advance students to another level of proficiency while simultaneously ensuring they really have fun doing it.”
“John made me (and everyone) feel at ease, created a fun atmosphere.”
“He showed me simple ways to get around roadblocks that had frustrated me for a long time.”
“Since I’ve been playing guitar all my life I really wanted something more advanced when jamming with my guitar, and John’s Level II camps are exactly what I was seeking.”
Total newbie here, don’t know anything but willing to learn, will bring a guitar and a dobro, I live in SB so this is great and close! See you there.
