NAME:
David T. Chastain
PLAYING (YEARS):
Somewhere around 30! Time flies when you are rocking!!
STYLE:
All it seems. Metal, Hard Rock, Fusion, Blues Rock, Acoustic and Improvisational. All with the David T. slant to it.
GEAR:
Karmer guitars through either a Marshall Valvestate with Marshall cabs or recently I have been using a POD for recording.
ENDORSEMENTS:
Kramer guitars and Dimarzio pick ups although on the new Kramer guitars they have quadrails and seymour duncan pick ups.
PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Over 50 Cds released is my main accomplishment. (http://www.leviathanrecords.com/chasdisc.htm) Have toured around the world and of course extensively in the US. (Everywhere from someone's garage to the major arenas) Appeared in nearly every rock/metal magazine around the world. (Except Rolling Stone!!) Video aired on MTV numerous times in the 90s. Owner/operator of 2 record companies. Producer for bands such as Firewind, Vainglory, Kenziner and others. Cool instructional video.
Never had to wear a suit and tie to work. Never ran over a cat in my car.(My main goal in life to accomplish.)

FOUR WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBES WHAT YOU WANT TO GET ACROSS IN YOUR PLAYING:
Original, classy and heavy.
YOUR HERO:
I guess Hugh Hefner if he didn't run cigarette ads in Playboy. Of course I have to also say my father.
