Adam Levy

I'll be back at @zincbar in July, with #thomasmorganbass & @jeremygustin . We'll play lots of music from my 'Spry' album, plus some older tunes — and maybe a newer tune or two. "Wistful elegance. Music laden with atmosphere and artistic refinement." @vintageguitarmagazine "Levy prizes simple forms, dialogue, melody, and concision. In the midst of it all, he twists, bends, and shakes notes, runs double stops up and down the neck, and employs gorgeous voice leading with sophisticated chord work. Minimal doesn’t mean simplistic." @premierguitar Photo: @brianbixbyphoto

Another clip from my conversation with @askzac . Here, we’re talking about my ‘Spry’ album — a trio with Larry Grenadier & Kenny Wollesen. My aim was to be as true to my voice as possible — in the writing, playing, and recording. #askzac #jazzguitar #es335 #spry

When @askzac interviewed me last year, one of the things he asked about was my time working as an editor at @guitarplayer in the late 1990s. Who were some of my favorite interviews? Paul Burlison, Chris Whitley, Paco De Lucia, and — of course — Hubert Sumlin! #askzac #guitarplayer

Post-gig glow! From @syracusejazzfest (27 June) — with @domobranch , @tal_ronen , @catherinerussellmusic , and @benpatersonmusic .

What inspired the Guitar Tips logo? Why, this — on course!

Curious about tritone substitution, but not sure exactly how it works or how to put it to use? My long-time pal @JimCampilongo recently posted a really clear lesson on his YouTube channel. If you want to finally understand this useful concept, let Jim break it down for you.

Telecaster enthusiasts — this camp is for you!

My all-time favorite amp is the brown early-‘60s Fender Deluxe. I am stoked to give this @origineffects DELUXE61 a try — to get more character from the typical “backline” (rental) amps I encounter on tour.
