David D'Alesandro started playing the acoustic guitar when he was 15 years old. Around the age of 20, influenced by artists such as Antoine Dufour, Andy McKee, Erik Mongrain, Don Ross, and Michael Hedges, David learned to adapt their styles by playing as many of their songs as he could. Two years later, he began to write original finger-style compositions of his own. He has trained under Antoine Dufour and Erik Mongrain to strengthen his techniques and refine his abilities, a move that has boosted his professional talents. With his Stonebridge 23-CR, David now makes catchy melodies that include percussive guitar, powerful chords, and distinctive bass lines to deliver a complex and unique sound.
