Guitar Instruction

If you've been thinking about guitar lessons for yourself or a family member, please consider using me as your instructor. I've been playing guitar for over 40 years.

I enjoy teaching many different styles including:

* Folk
* Rock
* Blues
* Introductory jazz
* Improvisation
* Introductory classical and finger-style picking

I am a very patient teacher. I'll try to make sure your lessons and practices will be fun. I love teaching guitar, and I'll help you in any way I can.

I have a private lesson room at Vic's Guitar Cave, 1927 21st Ave., Forest Grove. I teach Mondays through Saturdays.

Feel free to stop by to chat sometime, or call me anytime.

  Vance Adams skill with music and teaching ability is unmatched. I have taken lessons from multiple guitar instructors and he blew them out of the water. I have taken lessons from him for only five months and i am already performing for freinds and family. You will not be disapointed.

  Vance is a wonderful guitar teacher. He has the patience and understanding that is so important in a teacher, as well as the knowledge of a professional. I have been his student for about a year now, and am still his student because I learn new things each lesson, while still having fun. I would recommend him to everyone from someone who has never picked up a guitar before to the adult that wants to know more. If you are looking for lessons, make sure you give Vance a call!

  This is the first testimonial I have written in about 40 years. I write today only because I so very much appreciate Vance's skills in helping me finally make progress in developing my musical talents. Before working with Vance, I let fear, procrastination, and confusion with trying to read music overcome my repeated attempts to become a musician. Vance is talented, patient, kind, supportive, and encouraging. Charging very reasonable rates for his lesson time, when you are his student, his heart is committed to helping you to develop your talent to the point that you can perform in public settings. Not only that, he is working to create comfortable public settings which allow us to "dip our toes carefully into the cold water" of performing with other musicians. You will grow in his care.

  Five Star Rated..!!! This is the best guitar instructor that you could find.
  After two decades, I dusted off the old guitar and found that I was out of tune as much as the guitar. Vance has been an incredible resource in getting me back to playing. His style and personality make for an enjoyable experience in learning.
  Whether you want to play acoustic, electric, bass or ukelele, you can't find a better guy. You'll be a happy picker in no time.

  Vance is a very musician and has trained a family of wonderful musicians as well. He is has the right personality type to be a guitar instructor and a passion for all things guitar. If you are looking for a guitar instructor, you have found the right guy.

  I would highly recommend Vance's guitar studio for anyone looking to either pick up the guitar for the first time or hone your existing abilities. I've been taking lessons from him for almost 6 months (after having picked up the guitar about 3 years before that) and am learning a ton each and every week.
  
  Vance brings a very diverse set of guitar skills and decades of experience, but he customizes the lesson plan to your needs and what you want to learn. He also has a knack for making lessons enjoyable. His use of social media (facebook/youtube) for interaction, tips, videos, etc. during the week is an added bonus, and I've found him to be very responsive to email as well.
  
  Don't wait 'til he runs out of openings...you'll regret it.
