Toronto Guitar Workshop:

It was a great Guitar Workshop Plus this July. Thanks to Randy Bachman for stopping by and sharing his stories and info on Lenny Breau. Thanks students for being the best class I've ever had! Thanks for letting me touch on, and sharing, the style of Lenny Breau. Adam is a Jazz Guitarist now living in Brooklyn, New York. Adam holds a Masters degree in Jazz Performance at Western Michigan University. Humber College introduced Adam to the music of jazz greats such as Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, exposed to R&B, funk, and reggae, and recognizing his roots in country, Adam was making a natural progression to his own brand of Jazz. After graduating, that Adam found another monumental influence. It was a guitar master who also touted Chet Atkins a mentor as young "picker"--none other than Lenny Breau. Adam performs for Guitar Workshop Plus, National Guitar Workshop, Grand Prix de Jazz, the Rex, the Orbit Room, Toronto Jazz Festival, and the Montreal Jazz Festival. Adam teaches for Guitar Workshop Plus, National Guitar Workshop, and Guitarwise, his own guitar studio in Brooklyn, New York. Adam Smale is a fingertsyle guitarist. Adam Smale plays fingertsyle jazz on a 7-string, seven-string guitar.

With subtle, balanced, coaxing of sounds, you find yourself moved by the finesse of fingers dancing across the strings of a seven-string guitar. What emerges are distinctive yet subtle nuances, a piano-like quality creating an Illusion, luring the ears into hearing two guitars—two hands in counterpoint under the shadow of one fedora.
