Dave Sharman

Dave Sharman is a critically acclaimed British guitar virtuoso. Alongside his blistering guitar skills, Dave is also a singer / songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Although his main genre is rock, he often cuts across and blends genres. Given his first break with a much coveted session on the UK’s BBC Radio 1 Rock Show, this self-taught guitar prodigy quickly became one of the most exciting talents in his genre; being compared to greats such as Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai, touring the world and recording with some of Rock’s most legendary artists, including members of: Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne and Whitesnake.
