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.

one thing I forget. Could you give a brief explanation how you achieved that sound (FX..etc) thanks. I have some trouble recreating that guitar tone. Thanks
The Tab has been posted.
no tabs yet? I would love to give a try to the song...
Hey Tyler, are tabs coming up soon? Thank you.
thank you I felt like the only one!! lol
Tab to come Asap for this lesson! Sorry for the Delay.
tabs?
any chance of those tabs coming up? trying to figure out time signature too..... but this song does grow on ya. I hum it at work! lol great job man!
such a terrific series Dave; thank you so much!
David Never heard this song before. My first reaction was "wow, I want to learn this!" This is a style I can embrace. Super job teaching. I will play this session over and over until I learn it cold. I'll create my own tabs until yours come out. Thanks for all you do.
awesome thx again dave
You sound real good+its a good song
well done,liked it
Wow, this is really good. All the Satch elements are there....the riff, cool melody, and of course the legato runs. Maybe would have been nice to throw in a wah pedal. Perhaps you did but my ears missed it. Anyway, great job. Another thing Satch does a lot of is harmonics....and he also switches pickups alot.....prefering the throaty sound of his neck pup for many solos and melody parts. I never saw David switch to the bridge pup or use any harmonics. But hey the song rocked and captured the spirit of Satriani. A very good way to end a great series!
Definitely heard harmonics in the song, especially the beginning. Very cool
ASAP ... sounds like a loooong time to wait
thanks for the lesson davd it is very good and totaly cool
wow great job David!!
love the song man!!
Incredible song!
