My hope is to inspire and empower players to develop their own voice through gaining a better understanding of the instrument and how the traditional sounds of Bluegrass guitar were created in the first place. We take things apart so that we can see how they are made and then we rebuild them to get our own unique outcome.
Flatpick Guitar Instruction & the Music of Adam Schlenker
Adam Schlenker is an educator, performer, composer and arranger of American Roots Acoustic Music from southern West Virginia and is currently based near Columbus Ohio. Along with performing, recording and touring, he founded 5th Fret Productions in 2009 combining online, video based lessons with one on one instruction. Thanks to the Skype technology, Adam's private student base stretches across the US, throughout Europe and Australia. Allowing him to work with anyone in the world who’s wishing to develop their flat pick guitar and mandolin skills. Adam has been featured in Flat Picking Guitar Magazine and is also an instructor at several acoustic guitar camps including the Nashville Flat Pick Camps and the Stenback International Acoustic Guitar Camp in Denmark.
Early in 2018, Adam took on the role of Coordinator of Bluegrass Studies at Denison University where he teaches ensembles, private lessons and History of Bluegrass and American Roots Music courses. This is an exciting opportunity to grow a very unique program that introduces Bluegrass and American Roots music to a new generation. Here is an article about some of the work we have been doing denison.edu/academics/music/feature/136691

Acoustic Roots Music Ensembles:
Bluegrass & American Roots Music Band Classes!!
Desiring to bring people together to make music Adam has developed a program for intermediate and beyond musicians. Giving them the opportunity to come together in a relaxed and organized environment to play as a band. In these ensembles we look at the role of each instrument in the group and discuss how to arrange music to suit the situation. These have been a great success to date and are a lot of fun!
