Sound familiar?
You've played for years. The changes are right and the timing is close. But every song gets the same strum, it sounds stiff when you hear it back, and the first time you play with a band you're a step behind. As Adam puts it: "You don't have a strumming problem. You have a groove problem." Groove can be taught, and it starts with one idea.
Your strumming hand works like a drummer's: a steady pulse, and accents in the right places. Lean into 2 and 4, where the snare lands, and a flat part starts to groove.
Straight 8ths, 16ths, the triplet feel, the shuffle. Learn to hear each one, count it and lock into it, and you know how to play any song written in it.
Every feel comes with a live professional trio's backing tracks, so you practice with a rhythm section behind you from the first lesson, the way the music is actually played.
Your teacher
I've been teaching guitar for 50 years. I directed the guitar program at the Dick Grove School of Music, taught at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, and studied privately with Joe Pass. My former students have gone on to play with Michael Jackson, George Benson, Celine Dion, and Norah Jones.
And after all those years, here's what I know for sure: "You don't have a strumming problem. You have a groove problem." This class fixes that.
The Rhythm Section Method
This is the method I've refined over 50 years of teaching working musicians. Simple ingredients, deep results.
PILLAR 1
The guitar is a drum. Every song you'll ever play lives in a feel. Learn to hear each one, count it, and lock into it. Each is taught through its own song, with the trio playing behind you.
PILLAR 2
Settle into the pocket, then learn the push, the anticipation that makes a band lean forward. This is the difference between keeping time and driving it.
PILLAR 3
Small shapes, big intent. Your chords stop sitting still and start telling a story, up and down the neck, on every string set.
PILLAR 4
Rhythm motivates melody. The moves that built rock, blues, and country. Then you put every one of them to work in original songs cut live with the trio.

From players who studied with Adam
Session players, working musicians and students, on what it was like to learn from Adam.
“Adam, I still think about your lessons at Dick Grove all the time. So much of how I look at the guitar and think about music (theory, rhythm, improv) comes from your Technique & Line Development class.”
“I came to Grove School knowing nothing, a street player. Adam brought me up to speed faster than quick can get ready. He’s the teacher you want.”
“Have played for 15 years now, and yes, I know the Pentatonics scales, of course. Then why take the Course? The APPROACH… really sets this Course apart from anything I’ve ever experienced when it comes to Pentatonics.”
“This course is top notch. I’ve taken many courses and have a bookshelf full of guitar books and this was one of the best, most organized courses I’ve ever taken. Very well done!”
“Adam’s Method made getting into Berklee a breeze.”
“I really like your lessons because they are so thorough! I’ve been getting more fundamental help from your lessons… extremely educational.”
