"The journey continues..."
There comes a point in every guitarist's journey when you realize something.
Learning another song isn't enough.
Neither is memorizing another scale or another chord shape.
For me, the real question became:
"Do I understand why any of this works?"
That question changed everything.
My Journey Began in 2024
In 2024, I discovered Adam Loves Guitar.
Like many guitar players, I thought I had a decent foundation. I knew chords, scales, and could play songs I enjoyed.
But I wanted something more.
I wanted to understand music—not just imitate it.
So I started where many students do: The Best Minor Pentatonic Course.
I quickly realized Adam wasn't simply teaching scale patterns.
He was teaching me how musicians think.
From there, I moved into 30-Day Fretboard Mastery. Suddenly, the guitar neck stopped looking like disconnected boxes and began making musical sense. The fretboard became connected, logical, and much less intimidating.
Joining the Academy was the next natural step.
Today, I'm working through Adam's year-long flagship program, The Method, and every lesson seems to answer questions I've had for years.
It's About More Than Guitar
One thing I've come to appreciate about Adam's teaching is that he isn't simply teaching guitar.
He's teaching musicianship.
Whether the lesson focuses on blues, jazz, country, rock, The Beatles, Steely Dan, B.B. King, or harmony itself, the goal is always the same:
Understand the music.
That's what separates playing guitar from becoming a musician.
One lesson that has stayed with me is this:
When you understand the "why," the "how" becomes much easier.
I've found that to be true in every area of my playing.
My favorite style is jazz, but I've discovered that the principles Adam teaches apply to every genre. Better harmony, better rhythm, better improvisation, and a deeper understanding of the fretboard benefit every guitarist.
Why I Became an Adam Loves Guitar Partner
People sometimes ask why I decided to become an affiliate.
The answer is simple.
I didn't become an affiliate because I wanted to recommend courses.
I became an affiliate because I genuinely believe in what Adam has taught me—and continues to teach me.
When I recommend something, I want it to be something I use myself.
That's exactly what this is.
Could This Be Your Next Step?
Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time...
Returning after years away...
Or looking to finally understand the music behind what you play...
Adam has created a path for you.
His courses range from beginner fundamentals to advanced harmony, improvisation, jazz, blues, rock, country, and music theory.
More importantly, they help answer the question every curious musician eventually asks:
"Why?"
If you're ready to take that next step, I'd be honored to have you join me.
When you enroll through my partner page, you'll not only be supporting my work, but we'll also be classmates, learning together as fellow musicians.
