About David Shankle, Milwaukee Music Academy

We are taking special precautions & actions to help stop the spread of COVID-19, including wiping down areas and surfaces, and sanitizing the air between students. When you send a request for info, we can begin our conversation about how to explore the possibilities of studying here, and you can share with us if you prefer online lessons as a temporary situation until the COVID-19 pandemic is over. I've been teaching for over 30 years; students of all levels & styles - I can help you reach your guitar-playing goals whether you're a total beginner or an advanced player looking to expand your musical knowledge. Former member of the metal band Manowar (1988 to 1995), I played on the epic, certified double-platinum album “The Triumph of Steel,” co-writing 5 songs on that record, and touring all over the world. I set out on my own in 1995 and attended Roosevelt Music University in Chicago to further my guitar studies. I graduated with a Bachelor of Music specializing in jazz and classical guitar, music theory, and composition. I continue to record and perform live all over the globe, I've appeared on over 30 CDs as a guest solo guitarist, I've recorded and produced 3 full-length CDs with DSG-David Shankle Group, and am respected by my peers and the industry as one of the top 10 shredders and fastest guitarists in the world. With 40+ years of playing professionally, and 30+ years of teaching, I use my expertise to cut off the fat and get down to the quickest ways for my students to become better players, allowing them to excel at a faster pace in almost every genre of music! Currently I play in DSG, Feanor, GraveReign, and Wings of Destiny.
