David Wallimann: live4guitar interview

David, when you picked up a guitar for the first time, is this where you imagined you will be today?

Now that’s a tough one... I always felt called to be a musician. The moment I picked up the instrument, I knew that it would become a big part of my life. I didn’t really know how or when it would happen though. There were a lot of nice surprises and challenges in the journey. But I feel that the journey has just begun. It’s an ongoing thing really, which is what is so appealing to me! There is always more to learn and enjoy. Music is such a wonderful gift from God!


You are proficient in all styles of music, but what is your favourite and why?

I really love melodic fusion at the moment. I love to feel challenged and some of the fusion jazz-rock material can be quite demanding when it comes to improvising. I love that.
