Adam Lopez: Home

Where to start??! First off some of you may have noticed that ConfidentGuitar.com is no longer online. Due to time contraints, I didn't feel I could give it the attention it needs to be worth your time to browse, so I've taken it down for the time being. The lesson videos will remain on the CG YouTube page for now and perhaps a new lesson blog will appear sometime in the future.

One of the reasons  for the discontinuation of CG is that I'm now involved in 2 bands as a full time member. As you already know, I've been hired by the Kevin Phariss Band, and my new trio is up and running; Adam Lopez & His Swingin' Chupacabros.

I've also had my student count start to go back up (about 30 a week). That's a lot on the plate and a TON of songs and lyrics to memorize, but trust me, I ain't complainin' ;)

Life is beautiful and getting to share music with all these great musicians and fans is a blessing!

I'll be debuting with the Kevin Phariss Band this Saturday in Mannford Oklahoma at the VFW.

The Swingin' Chupacabros will be debuting on Feb. 24th at the Blue Dome Diner for a private party (lemme know if you want me to sneak you in ; ).

Hope everyone is well!

I hope everyone made it through the holidays and is enjoying the new year! It's already been a year of ups and downs on this end. Most of you don't know, but I've taken the gig with the Kevin Pharris band here in Tulsa. The Kevin Pharris band is a local treasure led by Kevin that features some great musicians including Rocky Frisco on keys (JJ Cale) and Harry Williams on drums (Ike & Tina, Hubert Sumlin,Flash Terry). Both are Oklahoma Blues Hall of Fame inductees and Rocky is also an Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame inductee.

These guys have always blown me away with their kindness and acceptance into their local music scene and now that I have a chance to work with them full time I must say that I"M HONORED.

On a sad note, Kevin is currently in the hospital recovering from a stroke. Please pray, hope, think happy thoughts, send mojo, or whatever it is you prefer but please send it!

It's been a rough time lately for many Tulsa musicians health wise and I truly wish them all and everyone all the health and happiness in the world. I hope you do the same ! ;)

Also, my new band looks to be in place and I'm VERY excited to get out and start performing the new tunes as well as some new covers I've always wanted to play.

Look for us out on the local scene very soon; Tim "Ransom" Conner on bass, Gary Davison on drums, and if you're lucky and catch us on the right night, Rocky Frisco on keys!!!!

If you haven't yet, find me on MySpace, Facebook, and ReverbNation as well!

Also, don't forget to check out my new work in progress: ConfidentGuitar.com

Be well!

Just wishing everyone happiness and health and all that good stuff!!

Also, I just mixed down 10 finished tunes worth of demos! They're coming along nicely and I can't wait to share them with everyone.
