Adell Wa

My name is Adell.  I have been an artist since the age of 5.  Ironically, I didn't learn how to play the guitar until the age of 22.  My father was a guitar player as was my grandfather.  My father gave me a guitar when I got out of the Navy and taught me guitar theory. I have been playing ever since.  My understanding of how music is created has allowed me to teach guitar for ten years now.  What I teach is chord structure, solo modes and scales, how to build song parts, and how to improvise over virtually any music being played. I can play rock, blues, funk, jazz, and some latin styles. Typically, a student must build up the hand coordination between both hands first in order to become proficient at playing the guitar.  Another area that I focus on is teaching students how to hear their own music.  I have a associates degree in Music application, and have a Bachelors Degree in Business Management.  I also have a teaching credential which allows me to teach within the school system.  Currently I have 8 private students and have two more classes to complete my Masters Degree.
