Artist, producer, teacher and one-man guitar battalion Dave Beegle remains an underground six-string phenom. After launching power trio Fourth Estate in the late ’80s, the Fort Collins homeboy used his masterful tone — something that mates Joe Satriani and Paco de Lucia with Johann Sebastian Bach’s blessing — to explore the instrumental nuances of flamenco, world fusion and ethno-acoustic rock. As fluent with the blind-dog blues as with a Balkan-flavored arrangement, Beegle, lauded nationally as “a guitarist’s guitarist,” has issued a handful of exceptional solo and group-oriented discs via brother Morris’s Hapi Skratch imprint, proving what can be accomplished when simple wood and wires merge with virtuosity and heart.
