Guitar aficionados nationwide have known Dave Creamer for decades and for those familiar with his work, it's no surprise that George Benson called Creamer "Absolutely the most fantastic guitar player alive in America." Constantly pushing the compositional and technical boundaries, Creamer continues to redefine the instrument and introduce new musical possibilities.

Well known for his modern jazz compositions and explorations with twelve tone music, intervallic theory, atonal music and most recently his own highly sophisticated Octatonic system, Creamer's dedication and originality has led him to perform, and/or recorded with many of the Jazz greats including Miles Davis, guitarist John Abercrombie, steel drummer Andy Narell, SF Bay Area favorite Mel Martin, Mel Torme, and many more.

As an educator, Creamer has worked with many outstanding and well known performers. Some of his former students include Tuck Andress (Tuck & Patti), Rory Stuart, Joe Satriani, Barry Finnerty (Miles Davis, Crusaders, Brecker Brothers), Jason Becker (David Lee Roth) and Will Bernard (Will Bernard, T.J. Kirk).

An accomplished writer, Creamer's groundbreaking book "The Hidden Symmetry of the 43 Octatonic Scales and 43 Tetrachords" defines a new standard for post modern musical organization. Creamer has also authored "Arpeggio and Scale Relationships" the de facto reference for many musicians, "Chromatic Enhancements of the Major Scale" and "Symmetrical 12 Tone Patterns". Additionally Creamer has written articles for important educational publications and his unique improvisational concepts have been spotlighted in the Guitar Player magazine columns "Chops Builder" and "Master Series".

"Guitarist Dave Creamer is magnificently inventive and technically astute. Playing with a murky, slithery sound. Creamer flies through his solo lines, barley suggesting his influences and emerging as a towering performer." Phil Elwood - San Francisco Examiner

"Dave Creamer is an artistic treasure waiting to be found by the listening public". Berigan Taylor - Jazz for Dummies

"Sometimes you get an idea and think you are doing something unique. You get all excited about it until you realize that Dave Creamer addressed many of these points in the June 1989 issue of Guitar Player. Dave's article inspired me to continue the work that went into this material and to find unique angles to present it".  Scott Collins - The GuitArchitect's Guide to Symmetrical Twelve-Tone Patterns

"It will probably catch on in the next 20 years, because that’s how far behind him we are, haha!" - George Benson from the article the 11 guitarists that blew my mind
