David Wiley


 Playing guitar since 1976, and starting fingerstyle guitar in 1981.

David first started studying classical guitar at age twelve and continued studying for 5 years until discovering the Gibson Les Paul. The next 20 years were spent almost exclusively on the electric guitar and in Rock bands. After studying at the Guitar Institute of Technology in London, England, he relocated to the United States in 1991. David quickly established himself as an instructor and toured Florida with a variety of bands. The last 10 years resulted in a halt in his playing until the Fall of 2006 when he was introduced to the Guild. Inspired by this unique style, he was propelled back into studying fingerstyle and classical guitar. The next chapter begins.
