About David Wallimann
View Full Biography
David was born in Aix-en-Provence, South France in 1977. At the age of 15, he picked up the guitar and started developing a true love for instrumental music and composition.
In 1999 he was recognized by Ibanez for his promising musical achievements and received an artist endorsement. That early recognition in David's musical career encouraged him to consecrate more time on crafting his musical art and apply to the school of modern music Artist' in Cavaillon, France. He received a full scholarship there where he graduated with honors.
In 2001, David won first place for the Tal Farlow French national jazz contest which gave him a full paid scholarship to the CMA school of modern music in Valenciennes, France. He graduated specializing in advance guitar with honors.
Following his school years, David spent the next 5 years working with several bands recording, writing and playing shows in France and Belgium. It's during that time that Wallimann was exposed to the world of progressive rock which opened new doors to his musical creativity.
Deep inside the Mind is his first release as a solo artist in which he exposes his Christian faith. The album was well received in the specialized press and was compared several times to some of Frank Zappa's approach to music adding an element of humor to deep subjects.
In 2005 he joined the internationally renown progressive band Glass Hammer based in Chattanooga, TN. He released several studio albums and live DVDs with the band.
David is today working on his next upcoming solo release and is also spending quite a bit of time teaching guitar in his studio and online at JamPlay.

Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.Well David I thank you for the words of encouragement and today being 6/18/2012 I am going to also begin your course (that doesn't mean I'll do lesson 2 today hehehe) but now I know 1 is complete. Thanks again and I am looking forward to what you have in store for me.
I just went to the G3 2012 concert last Thursday (Australia) showcasing Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Steve Lukather. Soooo inspiring and yet sooooo disheartening. Amazing night.
Maybe a Petrucci series coming soon? wink, wink, nudge, nudge.......
David Gilmore is up next from Wallimann, just FYI.
a petrucci series is what we need!
agreed
We need a petrucci series! :D
Do it Kris :D
i second that...kris should def do it :)
EXCELLENT choice!!
Can you think of anyone to teach it? ;-)
Walliman, Greathouse, Norris, all awesome!
Wow, just found this section! Satriani and Gilmour are my favourite guitarists, and now I find out David W is teaching a series on both! Awesom.
cool man i love joe satriani
how about a series on scott henderson or robben ford
Awesome! I agree with tammy7689; going to be a great series
Thanks so much everyone! :-)
as a final to this series could you teach us the song 'Cool New Way' from the Super Colossal album?
Unfortunately, We probably won't be able to teach songs from these series. We still have to abide by copyright law which requires the acquisition of licenses for each individual songs. Publishers aren't as willing as you'd like to think they are about giving those licenses out.
There won't be any copyrighted material from Satriani taught, this is all about the style he uses. This is the only way we are able to teach series like this.
yeh, me 2! i hope they get more lessons sson!
There's a lot more coming! Chris Lipe has a series coming on Tom Morello and Brendan Burns has a series on Jimi Hendrix! Chris' series is not filmed yet, Brendan's has been.
Tom Morello is awesome! Look forward to that. We also need style series on G. Lynch, J. Petrucci, and others. Yall are on the right track with this. Would also like to see a series on progressive style like Dream Theater. But for now I'm going to dig in on this Satriani stuff.
Greatly looking forward to all of these, thanks!
Oh my god I have been waiting soooo long for something like this! Thank you David! We need more stuff like this one here.
favorite teacher, favorite guitarist, perfect fusion!
this is going to be a great series...looking forward to more
