ABOUT

My musical interests are diverse and are not limited to the three genres listed in my profile. I play electric and acoustic instruments as noted below. Looking for an established working band. Contact me at david (insert symbol) fretmentor.

I have been involved in music all of his life, beginning as a concert band clarinet player at age 7 and turning my attention to stringed instruments at 9 years old, as a banjo, guitar and mandolin player.
I began performing as early as high school and later earned first place trophies in group talent competitions at college. Throughout the years, I have performed in Florida, Kansas, and Michigan with a variety of talented musicians.  In addition to on-stage performances, I have played in various venues from outdoor festivals to small nightclubs.

My diverse background includes rock, pop, blues, jazz, classical, country and bluegrass styles.  In addition to performing, I teach individual and a variety of group classes in guitar, five-string banjo and mandolin. I am he author of five instructional books on CD for guitar, banjo and mandolin and a freelance writer for various music related publications. I also am the owner and founder of a music instructional and promotional website .fretmentor, including a Fretmentor You Tube Channel and Page and have a mobile music app for the iPhone and iPad (search Fretmentor for each).
