Hello! I'm Adam Lopez but most people just call me Lopez.
I'm primarily here to offer my honky tonk/classic country/western swing/rockabilly and "Tele" style guitar picking for your tracks.
My greatest joys are creating 50's/60's style guitar in the Bakersfield, Texas, and TN country traditions. I also love to play in a faux pedal steel style on Telecaster. I strive to create signature parts. I also love to provide "hot licks", but I do my best to use them sparingly and only where appropriate. Ideally I am able to create parts that are both fitting and unique without being cliche´. My services are best suited to the old school country music nerd. I can do the modern Nashville style too but prefer to keep it classic ;)

Some of my favorite guitar players include:
Roy Nichols
James Burton
Grady Martin
Wayne Moss
Ralph Mooney
Gene Moles
Eugene Moles
Danny Gatton
Jim Campilongo
Redd Voelkaert
Bill Kirchen
Cliff Gallup
Scotty Moore
Eldon Shamblin
Junior Barnard

As a session musician, I've played guitar alongside the likes of Bill Kirchen, Lloyd Green, Wayne Moss, Byron Berline, Eugene Moles, Pete Wasner, and others in the classic country music field. I've done session work from Hollywood to Hollywood East aka Nashville, and my roots are in Texas ;) I currently reside in Colorado.

As a live performer, I've shared the stage with many of today's legends:
Dale Watson, Big Sandy, Deke Dickerson, Paul Pigat, Sean Mencher, and many many more.

Besides cutting guitar sessions, I also offer "track building" for singer/songwriters (creating full band orchestrations/recordings ), as well as general recording services (live and in studio), mixing, and mastering.
For guitar players and musicians, I also offer lessons and tutoring/mentoring. I have been performing on stages for over 30 years and worked alongside many world class professionals. I have many insights and experiences to share with students to help them not only become better guitar players but better MUSICIANS.

I have my own stand alone studio in Longmont, CO and use Pro Tools exclusively. I prefer to record direct using my Digi DAW and: my Bose T8S, one of my Tech 21 Trademark/Sans Amp amplifiers, or my signature pedal from Midnight30 Music. I feel direct recording gives you the purest quality file and allows you to mix a remote track better into the final product/master. You can tailor the "room sound" in post for cohesiveness. My guitar is a custom Hahn 228 with custom Bradychok pickups.
