Early life and education

Martone was born in Grimsby, Ontario.[3]

Dave began learning guitar at the age of 6. His father, who is also a guitarist, taught him Classical guitar and then had a teacher from Spain (Gary Santucci) teach him Classical and Flamenco. After taking lessons with Santucci, and discovering heavy metal music, he learned in his parent's basement with cassette tapes and guitar magazines. The first rock song he had learned by ear was "War Pigs" by Black Sabbath from their greatest hits record.[4]

He obtained a recording engineering diploma from Fanshawe College in Ontario in 1990, and graduated from the Berklee College of Music, in Boston, Massachusetts, where he studied with Jon Finn, Joe Stump, Jim Kelly and Bruce Bartlett, with a performance major in 1995.[4][1]

Popular guitar players whom have inspired and influenced him to play guitar are Angus Young, Gary Moore, Tony Iommi and Edward Van Halen.[4]

Martone conducts clinics at Berklee, which he has been doing since his graduation.[5]

His solo project, Martone, which is composed of him, Daniel Adair and Dave Spidel, is signed to Magna Carta Records.[6]

He has been directing the Tom Lee Music School of Rock program in Vancouver since 2003,[7] and has hosted the Satch Zone guitar instructional online lessons alongside Joe Satriani through Workshop Live.[8]

From 2001 to 2011, he was a bi-monthly columnist for guitar9.com, writing about production, recording, equipment, and playing techniques.[9]
