It's sad to see a dude here saying bad things about Adam as a teacher. I had the chance to take lessons from Adam at his apartment in NYC, and those lessons were quite transformative for my playing. There are a lot of things that I took from those lessons and have incorporated into my practicing routine over the years. All I can say is that Adam is one of the finest jazz guitar players I've ever seen and a great teacher. I consider myself a very lucky guy for having had the chance to take lessons from one of my all-time jazz guitar heroes. Contrary to what the other guy wrote, I genuinely recommend Adam as a teacher. If you're in NYC and are considering taking lessons from him, don't think twice; get in touch with Adam and schedule some time with him. But be aware he will make you play with him quite a lot... Which can be pretty terrifying for a bunch of guitar players out there! :-) As a guitar teacher, I give Adam 10 out of 10. As a guitar player, I give him 11. Fantastic musicianship and absolutely impeccable technique!
adam is without question one of the best guitarist around. His work on Chris Potter's cd Follow The Red Line is incredible. The solo on the track "Trian" is just so beautiful.
man this solo gives me chills over and over again! is this concert avaliable on dvd or cd? was thinking about transcribing it and checking out some of his lines =)
@fluffhead059 Sounds like he is counting 7 over 3 and 5 over 3. Basic triplet time, with more notes in the same duration. This is a common way of playing out then in then out, etc.. Great player.
Yeah his phrasing sounds like he delays a second as if he’s thinking about what he’s going play but he does consistently so it’s intentional in other words I don’t know if he’s counting in polyrhythms or really just thinks his way along.
what happends with his sound at 2:10? sounds like he changes pickups, but i don't see this. maybe he changes angle of pick attack or something.. anyone
my guess is probably something in the tv studio-maybe they changed to a different mic or the guy in the studio put his elbow on the eq button by mistake!
Better angle for using the pinky finger. His thumbs wrapped over the neck in other videos to bend strings. Here he's playing basically post bop with few bends so it gives a better angle. Try it.
Does this mean that the pick's angle is rotated 90 degrees from the conventional picking angle? I'm having a hard time getting the Benson grip- it seems to force the opposite side of the pick's tip from the conventional: Downstrokes will move thru the string slightly on the right side of the pick's tip and left on the upstroke. I must get this grip!!!
Everyone has days they don't want to talk to random people, it probably has nothing to do with coming across negatively. Jazz groupies are pretty annoying sometimes anyway. Maybe his friend was actually talking to Judge Reinhold, which may explain the behavior.
Please do not waste your time and money to doing lessons with A. Rogers. He does not have a clue about how to teach and how to communicate a well structured lesson . Please make your research first it's lots of players in NYC that are in the same situation hopeless about how to teach. Please be intelligent and wise while choosing your teacher. "I will give him 3 out of 10 how to teach "he is a terrible

I have to agree I've known Adam and played with him for many years and I never known him to be anything but a cool and humble dude.
The transition between solo and comping is just beutiful, what a classy player Adam is :) Best, Sandemose

He is unbelievable. I love this video. Well done Mr. Rogers.
I've known Adam for many years. What you've shared amazes and angers me.
I find him most humble, friendly and warm.
exelente, lo conoci por su musica cuandoformaba parte del quintedec de michael brecker, gracias por compartirlo
Beautiful, beautiful sound ... Such an inspired solo !!!
Awesome, as they say ;)
Amazing playing by Adam Rogers!
Fabulous playing.
Who cares? all that matters here is how he plays... he is absolutely phenomenal. Love the vid.
If you like this, you'll also like Wolfgang Muthspiel. There sure are a lot of talented people out there!
man this solo gives me chills over and over again! is this concert avaliable on dvd or cd? was thinking about transcribing it and checking out some of his lines =)
I will put more shortly!
GREAT!!!!!!!
hipnotizante!
Great guitarplayer! He looks a bit like the young Judge Reinhold :D That's cool!

Impresionante!!!!! lo baje y lo guarde en mi PS3
I second this question!
yeah -- pretty crazy stuff. his picking work is unbelievable. check out Bruce Dunlap - makes Adam's chops look like a Disney movie.
sick.
what happends with his sound at 2:10? sounds like he changes pickups, but i don't see this. maybe he changes angle of pick attack or something.. anyone
@Saxyman14 same here. he was really welcoming, and we talked pedals for a bit - not an asshole whatsoever.
probably feels most natural and comfortable to him. Adam's classically trained as well but really it all comes down to natural feel.
my guess is probably something in the tv studio-maybe they changed to a different mic or the guy in the studio put his elbow on the eq button by mistake!

Adam at this stage seemed to be flawless with his chops... I love this period of his playing.. but it changed...
no, adam was on brecker's Wide Angles

I highly doubt that. Where did you hear this? Also, are you from Pittsburgh? That would explain why you spelled classy wrong...
where did you get this?
you say he stole money?
dude he is a jazz musician how do you think those guys eat? ;-0
check out David Becker!
shit i ment "Train"
