My name's Adam Smale. I've been playing guitar since 7 years old and I'm 45 now, so I'll
let you do the math. And I've been playing professionally for around 33 years, since
the age of 12. I wrote a book, called "New Approach to Scales" for guitars. Basically,
this book really is a new approach to playing scales. It's not, sort of regurgitation of
scales that have come before, the same old thing. I've developed a new approach to mapping
out the guitar neck and playing scales in a completely different way.
If you're more interested in checking this book out, you can go to newapproachtoscales.com.
This here, is a guitar that I designed and had someone in Toronto, by the name of Brian
Mascarin build for me. It's a seven string guitar, but it's a little bit different. It's
a low E, on the sixth string. And matter of fact, I consider this the sixth string, but
the seventh string is a high string. So, I think of it as six, five, four, three, two,
one, seven, because that's the one that's different.
Aside from gigging around the New York area, I also compose my own music and I have a CD
coming out, sometime in the New Year. And, so be on the lookout for that. If you'd like
