Dave Nassie

Dave Nassie started playing guitar at the age of nine years old after being shown the way by a neighbor and early guitar mentor. Studies began immediately at local schools in Orange County California. After studying the theory courses taught by Howard Antmann and technique studies with the late Brian Jones, Dave started teaching as well at the age of 14 at the Antmann School Of Music. “It all began moving forward when I started working with Shrapnel recording artist Joey Tafolla” says Dave. “Through him I was introduced to Brooks Wackerman and started working with him. “ Dave started working with Brooks and and his then line up when he replaced Thomas McRocklin in Steve Vai’s project Bad 4 Good. The Band changed it’s name and played locally for the next 2 years. At that time Dave then joined Brooks as a member of INFECTIOUS GROOVES. Several recordings and many years of touring were to follow and other opportunities where created. A short stint on Bass for SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, additional recordings, and of course some shows kept him busy until 1999. At that time Dave then joined NO USE FOR A NAME. “Absolutely one of the best experiences and ten years of my life!” really sums it all up. Five records later in the summer of 2009 Dave then joined his current group BLEEDING THROUGH. “This band has been the most special experience of my life, I am so thankful.” Dave has spent his first year in BLEEDING THROUGH recording and touring the world extensively and continues to do sessions and teach full time at home. “Teaching is something that I will never stop doing and have been thankful to be able to do for so long” “I teach in Orange County California and keep myself really busy.” You can contact Dave at Dnassie@yahoo.com to set up lessons in the Los Angeles, Orange County, and surrounding areas.
