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 in Kalamazoo. Adam is currently attaining a Masters degree in Jazz Performance at Western Michigan University. In the 80s, 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 Kalamazoo. Adam Smale is a fingertsyle guitarist. Adam Smale plays fingertsyle jazz on a 7-string, seven-string guitar.

TOP 20 IN CONTEST: I have just learned that my song "It Was Something She Said" made it into the "Top 20" in the 2005 Unisong International Songwriting Contest Jazz/Blues category. Not bad considering my song is obviously an instrumental and they seem to be biased to songs with lyrics. Oh well, I guess it
is
a songwriting competition and not a composing competition. So I guess
it's pretty cool all the same! I'm happy...
