Dave was one of the founding members of Traffic, along with Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood. Dave discusses candidly why he left the band right after the first album, why he came back for the second record… and why he then left again…

How he met, and wound up playing 12-string guitar on Hendrix' "All Along The Watchtower," and almost replaced Noel Redding. Playing with the Rolling Stones… and Dave's blunt advice he wish someone had given him when he was younger, and much more on this frank interview with a musical legend. Listen NOW:

There's a particular kind of conversation that happens when a guitarist picks up an instrument, but the real stories often come when they put it down. Everyone Loves Guitar, hosted by Craig Garber, lives in that space. It’s less a formal interview and more like pulling up a chair in a backstage lounge or a quiet corner of a studio. Garber’s guests-celebrity players, revered musicians, and behind-the-scenes industry figures-open up in ways that go far beyond gear and technique. You’ll hear the unvarnished backstories, the pivotal moments that defined their careers, and the personal philosophies that drive them. This podcast digs into the history of the music itself and the people who make it, revealing the life lessons and personal development that come from a lifetime dedicated to art. Each episode feels like a deep, meandering chat with a fascinating friend who just happens to have an incredible tale about life on the road, the creative process, or the sheer joy of a perfect riff. It’s for anyone who believes the guitar is more than wood and strings; it’s a conduit for human experience. Tune in for honest talk about the music, the struggles, and the triumphs that resonate long after the last note fades.
