About David MacKenzie
View Full Biography
Dave MacKenzie has been playing guitar for 30 of his 45 years on this earth. Starting back when he was 14 years old, Dave picked up the guitar and started to learn from his oldest brother, who had played some guitar as well. Dave was hooked, and couldn't learn fast enough! Everything from the Beatles, Chicago, Ted Nugent, The Eagles, you name it, Dave was trying to play it.
Then as with a lot of players out there, Eddie Van Halen came along and changed the way guitar was played! Dave has been influenced by anyone he has heard play guitar, literally! Always keeping an open mind and a humbleness about him has helped him to keep learning new things on, and about the guitar.
Dave has mostly played in top 40 rock, country, and pop bands. He is most recently playing guitar and keyboards in a 80's metal band called Open Fire. They have opened for Warrant, Firehouse, Winger, and LA Guns
within the 3 and a half years they have been together, and are now jumping into original music.
Dave believes you should have internal motivation, and passion to play guitar, and most definitely, it should be fun!
As with his playing, Dave will find new ways to show you how to get the most out of your time learning guitar!

Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.It needs the Hellion intro
i would have to agree!!
Why is it that the intro riff starts the riff on the A string, and on page one it starts on the D string? Which is the correct way to start the riff?
Is this the same way that JP plays it on the axe or do you not know?
this is extremely close to hoe Priest plays it, although have'nt seen an actual video of them playing it. so your still hitting all the same notes.
hey Dave, When you mention to pm the song... do you mean the whole intro or the whole song. thanks! spider
just the intro.
I'm assuming you ment only the open strings??? you did say in the video if it doesn't sound right is because you have the A string open not pm. Spider
Very nice Dave!!
Yeah dave you rock! Thanks for the lesson. Look forward to part 2.
