"Dave Gage plays very powerfully and fast, clearly treading the territory of an electric rock guitar, using a variety of effects and distortions to get a dynamite sound."
---------------------------------------"His technique of 'tongue-switching' is the closest you will find, to duplicating on harmonica, the guitar playing style of 'tapping' (a la Eddie Van Halen)."
Pickup his band's newest rock-blues release, 'Love You Just The Same' CD . The Dave Gage website also features a full biography, available CDs, and streaming sound files.
Aside from Dave's playing career, he's the author and founder of Harmonica Lessons.com , the largest and most visited harmonica website in the world which includes both free and members areas.

Prior to the Internet, Dave had been teaching the harmonica for about as long as he had been playing.
He continues to teach at McCabes Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, CA, where he has been a part time/full time instructor since 1980. Through mostly one on one private lessons, and as a class/seminar teacher, he has logged over 10,000 hours of harmonica instruction (and most of those hours without mind numbing drugs).
