Denver, CO Acoustic Guitar Lessons

Chords, Rhythm, Note-Reading, Soloing, and technique from the simplest to most complex levels

Acoustic guitar in any genre. Steel string. nylon string. Finger style technique. Picking. Strumming. Playing and singing. Composing.

I teach all levels of students, using either written music notation or guitar tab, and supplement my lessons with songs the student wants to learn, depending upon his/her individual level.

I use a really fun and fast approach to getting any student to the next level by improving their technique and tone, increasing their fret board knowledge, and expanding their repertoire. 26 years experience teaching beginner to university and professional level students.

I play and teach a wide variety of styles and specialize in jazz.

We will cover music theory, technique, and getting to know the fingerboard, or I can teach you a specific song of your choice written out in tab.
Ideally both will be covered so you can learn the mechanics behind the music that you love to play!

Hello from Adam! My career has been an awesome mix of formal education, teaching and touring.

On the school side, I am a graduate of New York University's Music Business + Technology program.

I have been teaching since 2010, doing both private lessons as well as group and individual sessions at Denver's famed Swallow Hill Music. Part of my duties with Swallow Hill included working with their House Of Rock summer camp program instructing young adults in the 12-18 age range.

I am passionate about teaching guitar and someone that prides themselves on tailoring each lesson to the individual student by putting in the necessary time to prepare materials in advance. I don't have a one-size-fits-all "method" and strive to only provide helpful and applicable instruction. My comfort zone goes anywhere from kids just starting out to adults in working bands that need to add some tricks to their guitar ouevre.

I have been the subject of a full-page feature in Vintage Guitar magazine

From kids to adults - I love teaching guitar as a lifelong skill and outlet!

I was about 10 years old when someone taught me my first chords on a guitar, and I fell in love with it. I started getting serious with it when I turned 15, and I am now (15 years later) a full-time professional musician at a church. When I'm not working, you can usually find me in the mountains, working on my gear, or hanging out with my wife, Claire, and my dog, Cash.

I believe playing guitar should be FUN as well as relaxing - my best memories are of times I was playing guitar, and some of my best friends are ones with whom I've bonded through playing music. I love the idea of not just teaching technical skill, but teaching how to play as an outlet. Life can and is stressful, so learning a skill to manage the chaos is priceless.

Please send me a message with any questions - I look forward to working with you!

My approach to teaching is unique to each student's needs and we will create tailored lesson plans based on your goals. I believe learning should be fun, so theory will always be accompanied with songs applying concepts we are working on. We will get you playing right away!

For beginners, we will focus on reading music and learning theory, then applying those principles with songs that use those skills. For intermediate and above students we will continue technique and theory but focus on getting you to your specific musical aspirations.

I love working with kids and have experience with adult students as well. My rate is $50/hour in the metro Denver area and lessons can either take place in your home or by Skype weekly for 30 minutes or biweekly for an ...
