A very clever player." -- GUITAR MAGAZINE About the Artist To some, the guitar is just a collection of wood and wires. To a musician like Dave Beegle, however, the guitar is breath and blood and mind. That can be the only explanation for the tremendous output of this talented instrumentalist, composer and producer. If you're lucky enough to be listening to the 1999 special edition CD compilation of Beegle's recorded work - Clear The Tracks featuring songs by Artifact Symphony, The Beegle-Olson-Quist Trio, Fourth Estate and Blinddog Smokin' - then the extent of his musical creativity will be clear. If you aren't so lucky, then prepare to do some digging in order to become acquainted with "one of the most renowned underground guitarists of our time" (Great Guitar Sites on the Web). The place to start is with seminal Colorado progressive rock band Fourth Estate. As a trio, Fourth Estate has challenged and expanded the boundaries of instrumental Rock 'N' Roll with two albums of groundbreaking recordings and countless jaw-dropping performances. As the group's frontman, Beegle has proven to be a virtuoso electric guitar player, spraying a thousand notes over thick layers of bass and drums to create an exciting and inspiring music. It's inspiring because it has turned the heads of young guitarists throughout the United States and around the globe. It's exciting because this isn't just ego at work, but world-class art. From the familiar sounds of blues-rock to the exotic complexities of Bulgarian folk influences, Fourth Estate's music travels universally, all the while maintaining a high standard of musicianship and performance savvy. But Fourth Estate is only just the beginning for Beegle's seemingly boundless musical ambitions. Beegle has also played extensively with multi-talented vocalist Beth Quist and bassist Michael Olson in The Beegle-Olson-Quist Trio. Together, the group has explored the subtleties of everything from Middle Eastern melodies to re-workings of classic Led Zeppelin pieces such as "Kashmir" in a flavorful acoustic-based music. There's more, however. Beegle has also recorded with progressive techno/art band, Artifact Symphony, and down and dirty blues rockers Blinddog Smokin'. You can also hear Beegle's guitar work on CD projects by singer-songwriters Jonathan Tiersten and Keith Rosenhagen, alt. pop artist Jay Road, and with jazz singer Carol Frazier. Add in Beegle's live work as a solo acoustic artist as well as with classic rock group the Jurassicasters, the Guitar Rangers and the Black Sabbath cover band War Pigs, and you're beginning to see the depth and breadth of this acti! ve artist's experience. Still, despite all of that, the guitar remains Beegle's first love. That's probably why Beegle has been tapped to be the demonstrator for the revolutionary guitar invention - the Transperformance Automatic Tuning Guitar. Featuring the innovative Digital Tuning System, a device that allows a guitarist to access thousands of tunings at the touch of a finger, this futuristic instrument has garnered praise from such luminaries as Jimmy Page, Graham Nash and Joe Perry. But only one guitarist - Dave Beegle - has enough first-hand knowledge of the groundbreaking system to present it to the world. Beegle was the first player to record with the Automatic Tuning Guitar (on Fourth Estate's 1992 release, Finesse and Fury) and he has been playing it on stage for more than seven years. This puts Beegle right on the cutting edge of the international contemporary guitar community.
