"Incredible tone, playing and tips from the Australian instrumentalist
Welcome to the show. It is our great pleasure to welcome the wonderful Adam Miller to the show! Adam hails from Newcastle-Upon… Pacific. (That's Newcastle, Australia.)
In his earlier career, Adam was known predominantly for his acoustic guitar playing, but over the years has gravitated to more and more electric stuff, fusing incredible jazz-blues sensibilities with creative approaches to looping, self-accompaniment and small-ensemble playing.
In this video we get up to speed with Adam’s most recent work while checking out his new Nik Huber guitar and getting schooled in looping.
Please check out more of Adam's output via your favourite streaming devices, via his courses on TrueFire… and of course please get out to see him play live if you can!
