Dave Reynolds is a dynamic and talented axe wielder currently based in Germantown, Maryland (U.S.A.) who represents his playing style as classical guitar, as a listener can readily appreciate on his most recent album, "Solo".  His most utilized guitar is a Contreras ("Made in Madrid, Spain by the Contreras Family"). Reynolds has been playing guitar since 1974, and without beating around the bush discloses his career aspiration, "Concert career and a university teaching position."
When prompted to divulge his ultimate effect for the guitar, Reynolds responded by saying, "Alla natural," and continued by citing his musicial goals, "I am using my background in jazz and rock to influence my writing on the classical guitar." He eagerly hopes to one day study for a Doctorate Degree in Music ("I currently have a Masters in Performance"), and is presently listening to Manuel Barrueco, Christopher Parkening and Pat Metheny. His principal fulfillment? "Performing on the concert stage," he declares without a doubt.
 Reynolds wraps up by mentioning current and approaching undertakings enthusiastically, by saying, "I am entering an original competition in an international solo guitar composition. I am going to publish a book early next year of a dozen of my original compositions and record those compositions as well. I will sell the book and the CD seperately or together."
Reynolds's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes several solo albums ("Live From The Renaissance Mayflower Hotel", "Partenza", "Solo") and participation on another recording (Ware/Reynolds "It's Christmas All Over").
