Adam expanded my musical tastes, introducing me to his mini-repertoire building classes of guitar. his encouragement to explore have made me a more versatile musician and he is the best you can find in all of Little Havana.

After starting lessons with Adam in Southwood Park he learned a lot. With Adam ’s emphasis on phrasing and mastering chord inversions he is now playing jazz standards with confidence and ease.

In Adam ’s Fayetteville studio, it’s about more than just learning chords. His lessons teach musical expression in a hands-on, energizing way that truly sticks.

I finally got the hang of barre chords and rhythm strumming, all thanks to Adam . he explains things in a way that really clicks, and his lessons are always something I look forward to.

My journey of learning Guitar with Adam at the Montana Vista has been truly inspiring. As a late beginner, I had my moments of self-doubt, but his encouragement has pushed me, my younger brother is also working with Adam now.

Adam ’s lessons in West Salem were just right for my teenage son. He learned folk picking and how to express stories through music, which fits his acoustic style perfectly.

Growing up in Huguenot, I’d watch blues players and wonder how they made their guitars cry. Then Adam showed me how to bend notes like commas in a sentence. Now my solos actually say something.

It was very difficult to find a good tutor for my son in the Sunset district who could actually understand the taste of my son in music. This is the time when we met Adam and he taught my son pop music and some movie tracks on guitar.
