Study With Adam Guitar Legend – Jörn Bormann

By Adam Rafferty Leave a Comment

Starting this month, we will feature legendary Study With Adam students who have shown exemplary dedication and passion for honing their fingerstyle guitar skills. For this month, let’s get to know our very first Study With Adam Guitar Legend, Jörn Bormann!

I got a chance to talk with Jörn about his music, and we had a great time making this video.

Jörn Bormann is based in Spenge, Germany. He started his membership in Study With Adam on March 1, 2015. Wow! Seven years and counting… amazing, right?

His main guitar is a Maton SRS 808 and he is into fingerstyle guitar arrangements, Jazz, Funk, and Fusion music. Some of his favorite guitarists are Adam Rafferty, Tommy, Pat Metheny, and John Scofield. Jörn Bormann is currently working on a new percussive approach with a special transducer for bass drum sound played with palm of left hand.

Our guitar legend, Jörn, teaches at a German grammar school. What’s heartwarming is aside from learning and mastering fingerstyle guitar through the courses in Study With Adam(SWA), he said that he has incorporated some elements of the SWA teaching approach into his own work with his students e.g. personalized feedback through voicemail after written tests.   

Watch our Study With Adam Guitar Legend, Jörn Bormann, in his performance in the video below! Spoilers Alert! We had a LIVE duet performance of his original song “Norwegian Mood” at the festival “Saitenzeit 2022.”

And here’s one more solid performance from Jörn Bormann!
