Introduction: I teach all styles of music — rock, blues, country, folk, indy, grunge, heavy metal, jazz and classical. I have spent my whole life in music. I have a BA from UTA in music where I majored in classical guitar and played in the jazz ensemble on bass. I taught private guitar lessons at Music World from 1973 to 1977 and at C&S music from 1977 to 1983. At the same time i played guitar and bass in various pop combos around the DFW area. I played in a cover band from 1999 to 2007 playing music from the 1950s through the 90s. I enjoy teaching the fundamentals of music and helping students learn how to play their favorites songs. Covid Safety Precautions: I'm fully vaccinated and boosted. I will wear a mask upon request.

Marc is a great instructor. Very patient and encouraging when teaching. I am a complete novice with the guitar and found myself feeling incompetent. But Marc always encouraged me every step of the way. From a beginner's standpoint Marc would be one of the best instructors to learn from. 👍🏽

Marc is a great instructor! I hired him for my teenage son who recently became interested in playing the guitar. Marc knows how to interact with beginners and he patiently goes back over something if necessary. He stays focused on teaching and doesn't let anything distract him during the lesson. He gives my son "homework" after every lesson, which seems to help reinforce what he just learned. My son is always excited to go to his guitar lesson with Marc! Overall, I would definitely recommend Marc to anyone wanting to start/continue learning guitar. Thanks again Marc!

I enjoyed my lessons with Marc Adams so much. He was very attentive and patient, making sure I had a skill down before moving on to the next, so I never felt nervous or rushed. His sense of humor and obvious passion for guitar made the lessons fun, and I felt his commitment to my progress. He was always ready and waiting when I arrived, and didn't let anything distract him from the lesson. I am grateful to have had the chance to work with him.

Marc has a sound, deep understanding of music and is good at conveying what I need to learn to improve. He has a friendly, subtle way of guiding me in the right direction. I feel I've made good progress after just three lessons. Recommended.
