All Genres > Metal > Instrumental Metal > DAVID STOCKDEN: True Intent

David was born on the 7th November 1979 in Leamington Spa, England.
From listening to his sister's love of Def Leppard he developed a longing to do what he saw on TV. Play Guitar!
He began playing guitar at 12 after eventually finding a teacher and convincing his mum and dad that the guitar he had got from Argos a couple of years before was the thing he wanted to do most.
David Studied classical guitar with a local teacher for 3 months before his love of rock and metal took over and left to teach himself the music that he desired to play.

His influences in the early days were Def Leppard , Ozzy , Motley Crue , Megadeth and "any other stuff of that ilk".
He discovered through guitar magazines Joe Satriani and Steve Vai and knew that there was something about this type of music that pushed his buttons.

Early public performances included school concerts playing hits of the day such as Mr. Big's 'To be with you' and 'Green tinted sixties mind' along with Extreme's 'More than words'. He was also known to play at the drop of a hat in such bizarre places as a local dog show which had a band playing ! " the bloke had a really nice Strat and i wanted to play it!" . "I was gutted when he handed me this beat up acoustic when a friend asked if i could play something for everyone!". Throughout his musical career he has performed in Paris, The Royal Albert Hall and in Greece.
