The place to start is with seminal Colorado progressive rock band Fourth Estate. As a trio, Fourth Estate has challenged and expanded the boundaries of instrumental Rock `N` Roll with two albums of groundbreaking recordings and countless jaw-dropping performances. As the group`s frontman, Beegle has proven to be a virtuoso electric guitar player, spraying a thousand notes over thick layers of bass and drums to create an exciting and inspiring music. It`s inspiring because it has turned the heads of hundreds of young guitarists attending their performances all the way from Denver to Chicago to Nashville and back. It`s exciting because this isn`t just ego at work, but world-class art. From the familiar sounds of blues-rock to the exotic complexities of Bulgarian folk influences, Fourth Estate`s music travels universally, all the while maintaining a high standard of musicianship and performance savvy.

But Fourth Estate is only just the beginning for Beegle`s seemingly boundless musical ambitions. Beegle has also played extensively with multi-talented vocalist Beth Quist and bassist Michael Olson in The Beegle-Olson-Quist Trio. Together, the group has explored the subtleties of everything from Middle Eastern melodies to re-workings of classic Led Zeppelin pieces such as "Kashmir" in a flavorful acoustic-based music. There`s more, however. Beegle has also recorded with progressive techno/art band, Artifact Symphony, and down and dirty blues rockers Blinddog Smokin`. You can also hear Beegle`s guitar work on CD projects by singer-songwriters Jonathan Tiersten and Keith Rosenhagen and new pop-rock units such as Reconcile, Indica Gypsys and Ty Whisenhunt. Add in Beegle`s live work as a solo acoustic artist as well as with classic rock group the Jurrasicasters, the Guitar Rangers and the Black Sabbath cover band War Pigs, and you`re beginning to see the depth and breadth of this active artist`s experience.

It should come as no surprise, then, that Beegle uses his extensive musical knowledge in many other ways than just as a performer and recording artist. He is also a guitar teacher as well as an active record producer. Besides producing albums for many of the artists already mentioned, Beegle has also worked on the other side of the recording console with manic rock band Liquid Playground, Kingdom recording act Martha`s Wake and Christian acoustic artist Danny Oertli. All of this makes Beegle an indispensable resource for emerging musicians and a respected authority for already established performers.

Still, despite all of that, the guitar remains Beegle`s first love. That`s probably why Beegle has been tapped to be the demonstrator for the revolutionary new guitar invention - the Transperformance Automatic Tuning Guitar. Featuring the innovative Digital Tuning System, a device that allows a guitarist to access thousands of tunings at the touch of a finger, this futuristic instrument has garnered praise from such luminaries as Jimmy Page, Graham Nash and Eddie Van Halen. But only one guitarist - Dave Beegle - has enough first-hand knowledge of the groundbreaking system to present it to the world. Beegle was the first player to record with the Automatic Tuning Guitar (on Fourth Estate`s 1992 release, Finesse and Fury) and he has been playing it on stage for more than seven years. This puts Beegle right on the cutting edge of the international contemporary guitar community.

As you might expect, Beegle has plenty of other plans for the future, as well. These include recording a solo acoustic album featuring his flamenco and world-flavored guitar stylings and a brand new Fourth Estate project. Would you expect anything less from a man who has guitar music flowing in his veins?
