Adam Zuniga is a guitarist who has a real talent for creating fresh new melodies, both in his compositions and in his improvisations. His performances include aspects of ambient, jazz, and Latin music, featuring his very attractive guitar interacting with electronics on one memorable theme after another. He is very much in his own musical category.
Growing up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Adam’s first instrument was the violin which he played in junior high. “I attended band classes with my sister, who also played violin, and we were regularly competing for first chair,” remembers Adam. “She would always win since she was ahead of me. She now plays keyboards and piano and is a songwriter. The violin really helped me with my pitch since it does not have any frets, and one of these days I’m going to pick it up again.” By the time he was 17, Adam had switched to the guitar, learning about several regional styles of Latin music from other local musicians. “We would have jam sessions that would last almost all night, or until the drummer couldn’t take it anymore.” Adam also learned bass and drums and, while attending the University Of Texas at San Antonio, he took two years of classical piano classes but settled on the guitar. “For me the guitar is the ultimate melodic instrument and on it I found my own voice.”
