A rock singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/film composer, Dale Turner is also an instructor at Hollywood's Musicians Institute, and author of 50+ instructional books/transcription folios (his latest being "Power Plucking - A Rocker's Guide to Acoustic Fingerstyle Guitar"). He writes a monthly acoustic guitar column for Guitar World magazine, and is featured in their "Lick of the Day" app for iPhone/iPad. A Los Angeles resident, Turner is also the former West Coast Editor (1996-2007) of the now defunct Guitar One magazine.
Turner composed the original score for the animated short film Weeds (2017), the first animated short to be completed within the Filmmakers Co-op at Disney Feature Animation. Weeds was one of three "commended" (extra) films included in 2018 Oscar Nominated Shorts - Animation (2018), the theatrical release of five Academy Award nominated animated shorts--Dear Basketball (2017), Garden Party (2017), Lou (2017), Negative Space (2017), and Revolting Rhymes Part One (2016)--nominated for the 90th Academy Awards.
Guitar Player Magazine calls Turner's latest CD, Mannerisms Magnified: "Smart pop tunes that are crammed with interesting guitar parts and tones ... Like what the Beach Boys might do if they were on an acid trip that was on the verge of getting out of control. Yeah!"
