Guitarist and front man of the band DSG, David Shankle, is the featured artist in our current Guitar Wheel advertisements in Guitar Player Magazine in the October and December issues. David Shankle is a world renown guitar instructor and shredder. Revered guitarists such as Michael Angelo Batio, Rusty Cooley, Francesco Fareri and Tom Hess have testified to David's prowess of the guitar. David Shankle was a member of Manowar from 1988 to 1994. Of all the Manowar albums, David Shankle played on the most notible the platnum album Triumph of Steel. After setting out on his own, David attended Roosevelt Music University in Chicago to get his degree in jazz and classical guitar. Today he has his own band DSG also know as the David Shankle Group. With DSG David has released a couple great metal CDs Ashes to Ashes (2003), and Helborn (2008) having it's release at the Magic Cirlce Music Festival. Both are available through the Magic Cirlce Music label. The albums are classic progressive metal; songs with lyrics and guitar led instrumental rock that will melt your face off. David Shankle tears up the fretboard both in terms of melody and technical playing. He is one of the 20 top fastest guitarists in the world. He is known to play over the neck faster then most guys play normally. I asked David recently if he is using the Guitar Wheel with any of his students and if it was helpful. I also asked him what the status is with the current line up of his band, and to tell me about his new Dean custom 29 fret 7 string signature guitar the DSV7. David said, "I use the Guitar Wheel with my students and they all love it. It is good for all who play. The Guitar Wheel is fun, small, not a big book that gets in the way. It's easy to use. "So far the band is great. I am looking for a new drummer, we may have one, and also doing the new DSG CD. I may be playing at NAMM 2009 for Kahler. "My new Dean DSV7 custom signature guitar will be a 29 fret 7 string shred V one of a kind with a Kahler tremelo [bridge system], EMG pick ups and a lot of other cool stuff. It will be out after NAMM. I am also with Diamond amps now. Diamond's Nitrox head kills bro! I love this amp." In answer to my question about the current projects he is working on, David Shankle tells me he has done a number of recent guest spots: Coming up, David will be appearing later in 2008 on Joe Stumps solo CD, Michael Angelo Batio's solo CD, and Tony Smotherman's next CD. Be on the look out for the third DSG album with artist guest appearances by Rusty Cooley, Matt Mills, Tony Smotherman and Roger Staffelbach (formerly of Artension). David will be giving a lesson in the Guitar Wheel boook. He played a guest solo on Matt Mill's Neo Classical Spirit release along with other guest soloists Joe Stump, and George Bellas. Bellas says DSG should stand for Dangerous Speed Guitar. David also played guitar on Roger Staffelbach's solo album on the song Return of the Pharaoh. David also played with his buddy from Chicago T.D. Clark on the Next Big Adventure. He played played a killer solo on a song for Asylum, a local Chicago band. Also David did all the demo tracks and solos for the band Voodoo God's. David will have a full length guitar instructional DVD complete soon. He's also an instructor for the guitar video lesson website www.shredacademy.com David would like to thank the new members of the DSG band: Power Metal vocalist Kyle Michael's, shred bass player Dan Buckley, orchestral keyboards Drake Mefestta and of course it's David Shankle on guitars. We also would like to thank Jay Walsh at Fairview Recording Studios & Lloyd Freeze as acting road manager & local Booking agent at this time, and all David's friends and fans and students.
