David M Patterson on SoundBetter

I will bring magic to your music by giving you just the right color with my guitar(s), mandolin, bass or keyboards. Or as Shawn Mullins put it, "He can take a little three-chord song of mine to whole new level with the stroke of his pick."

Recording as a multi-instrumentalist for thirty years David can be found on over 80 CD's. He has worked with grammy nominated/platinum award winning artist Shawn Mullins and The Indigo Girls, and is an international touring artist. I have been recording from my home studio here in New York for 17 years. In the words of Robert L. Smith at Defy Recordings: "When a client needs a guitar player and I bring him in, they instantly fall in love with his style and tone. Ultimately he is an asset to every project, and I stopped counting after 20... highly recommended!" May 30th, 2011

    As listener, collaborator and band-mate, I have experienced how David holds the rare talent of incorporating all styles, and genres into his musical projects...always fully infusing his heart, sense of humor, sensitivity, and individual voice into his work. He is extremely creative, dedicated, and caring...and truly gifted, both as a musician and composer.

    I have had the pleasure to play and record with David. He is professional and creative!! Great at most genres of music, he can make your project shine with his guitar virtuosity!! He gets the job done and doesn't waste time. He'll give you what you want when you don't even know what you want. If you work with him once, you'll call him back!! A great guy as well...........

    When music lands in his hands, I have always been aware, and appreciative of being in the presence of one who seems too have this direct connection to that elusive source of creative inspiration. One feels as if they never know where his guitar is going to take them next, you just want to go....that's just him...the way it is.

    David is not a guitarist -- he's a musician who happens to play the guitar. He listens as well as he plays, and he plays very well indeed. An asset to any project in any role.

    David Patterson is one of the most complete musicians I've ever known. There's nothing he can't do, the level of artistic involvement he brings to everything he does is truly inspiring. I've never known anyone who wasn't completely impressed with his work.

    David is the man. His instincts are spot-on, and he will only make your music better. Most of the production work I do includes David, so I promise you you won't be disappointed.
