"In My Life" - Fingerstyle Guitar - Adam Rafferty (The Beatles)

Here's my updated fingerstyle guitar version of The Beatles classic "In My Life" from their "Rubber Soul" album, (1965).
The Beatles were one of my first HUGE musical inspirations, and still are.
"In My Life" is a no doubt John Lennon masterpiece, but John and Paul had a little debate over who wrote the melody...
I say it's mostly John "with a little bit of help from his friend."
I had to pull off some Van Halen-esqe techniques to get the George Martin piano solo happening! :-)
And if you've followed me for some time, you'll note that I have toned down my orgasmic facial expressions since the first version I did in 2012 :-)

The Beatles are a never-ending source of inspiration for me!
TUNING: Standard: E A D G B E
Lots of Love & hope you dig this new version of an old Beatles Tune!

    • @adamrafferty
      @adamrafferty Před 4 dny

      Nate - even though I have a fancy handmade nylon (on my Mozart Video) this is a Cordoba GK Studio Negra series - GK = Gypsy Kings. Easy to play neck, somehow more friendly for jazz than typical nylons, lots of snap - man, grab one they are cool for sure.

    • @NateBreidenbaugh-gg7fs
      @NateBreidenbaugh-gg7fs Před 4 dny

      No kidding? I thought I recognized it, but I wasn’t sure. I do have one, and I love it! The neck is crazy fast for a nylon string. And you’re right, it does feel friendlier for jazz. I have mine specced out for jazz and contemporary music and my occasional dabbling in flamenco. It’ll be my main guitar-until I can afford a Zucali or a McNally, of course!

    Really nice sound as usual Adam! ❤Now this is a real top hit by the Beatles. in my neighboring country Denmark there was a band, Gasolin with a singer, Kim Larsen. He made a song called "It's my life" (instead of ”In my life”) which became very popular in at least Denmark, Norway and Sweden. You with a keen musical ear, what could have caused the song to never hit internationally, if you have time to spare, an Adam interpretation of the song would be great fun to hear. / Best regards André 🧌 czcams.com/video/55v3rvnjOIE/video.htmlsi=qs-tTZKZ01x3xp56

    Nice one, Adam! Been playing this one a lot lately, and I have no idea a how I ever managed that solo with my old right hand technique. That thumb / index combo is so key for those cross-string sixteenths. ( 1:23 ) Reminds me a lot of the Tears for Fears intro.
