   About Adam Schlenker

Bluegrass Guitar Lesson Series: C pos Improv. Demo

Adam Schlenker | MySpace Music Videos
Over the years I have explored many avenues musically. I have never found myself content to stay in one sound, style or influence. The last several years I have been focused on traditional American music forms such as bluegrass & folk guitar, with a big emphasis on the work of Norman Blake. Never have I heard such create control as Mr. Blake offers up. He is able to do so much with so little. To clarify that, he has developed a style that, for the most part, utilizes only the "first 5 frets". I like to think of it as creative growth from restraint. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- One thing that has come from my somewhat schizophrenic musical adventure is a diverse set of influences. It is from these influences that my next musical endeavors are spawn. Currently in the works is a new project, an acoustic quintet in the framework established by David Grisman. This quintet will feature myself on Acoustic Guitars, Steven Fox on Upright Bass, Gary Puckett on Acoustic Guitar & Banjo, Mark Fitzharris on Mandolin & David Blankesteyn on Hand Percussion. All of us are contributing to both composition & arrangements. Even in its early stages this group is showing to be something special & I'll have more to say about it soon. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Also in the development stage is a "string band" thats meant to back up the songs & voice of Hayseed. For more info on Hayseed check out: http://www.hayseedsings.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Be sure to check out the R.U. BOUND page. That's myself on acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo and vocals, GARY PUCKETT on acoustic guitar, mandolin, banjo & bazouki & JIM SALTZ on bass & vocals. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- Also check out FOX N HOUNDS on myspace. That's Steve Fox(The Spike Drivers), Mark Miller(Mercury Road, Chris McCoy), Aaron Snyder & myself(guitar & Banjo). You'll hear some bluegrass with a twist. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- For guitar or mandolin lessons contact the fellas at UPTOWN STRINGS. They know my schedule & can get you all set up. {Uptown Strings 18 N. State St. Westerville, OH 43081 Phone: 614.794.2183 http://www.uptownstrings.com/index.htm

I'm all for putting that jam session together! We could meet up at Scotties in Worthington and just play acoustic? I'm sure they would be down as long as it's in their schedule.
BTW, let's learn Nashville Blues! Happy Holiday and it's always a pleasure to pick with ya good sir!
