    Dang man. I remember being 14 wanting to learn this song. You're what made me get into fingerstyle. Fast forward ten years. I'm a guitar teacher, majored in music and recently graduated. I learned most of your arrangement by ear and was just about to polish up on it by watching your video and i found this gem. Thank you so much for all you do! I'm sure I'm not the only soul you affected!!

    Thanks so much for putting this out there. You wouldn't happen to have updated tabs out there somewhere, would you? I notice that the chorus was updated a bit from the original. You're amazing!

      Man the whole TAB thing is a legal land mine. I'd love to but it is not allowed by the publishers, really. The best I can offer is. to slow it down and watch closely - so sorry I can't give out tabs!

    Excellent! About 12 years ago, I had the privilege of a 1:1 lesson on this from Adam in my back garden. He makes it look so easy....

    I am a self-taught picking-style guitarist and I was anxious to see how you were dealing and obtaining your very enticing style. But I doubted you would be willing to share it. You do. Thank you so much, pale ! :)

    i remember stumbling across sungha jung and you perhaps 8 years ago. i finally was able to clean it up enough 2 years ago and perform this arrangement live!

    Адам благодарю за разбор. Чтобы так сыграть - за этим стоит огромный труд, и масса постоянного времени.

    @BasilWahn Před rokem +1

    Uhh, this is very helpful, I'll work and update my version of your arrangement right away! :-) Mine was based on what you showed me in das kleine landcafe backstage 12+ years ago!!!

    • @adamrafferty
      @adamrafferty  Před rokem

    That click sound, if I only got that into my thumb I'd give the arrangement a try.

    Hi Adam, Great lesson! Thank you! May I ask what strings you use on your Taylor guitar? I really like the tone you got with them.

  • @jackiekerouac2090
    @jackiekerouac2090 Před rokem +1

    Hey Adam, suggestion. Perhaps you can use CZcams function to split your video in "chapters" or sections which could be included in your description with timing, and title of the section. Only a suggestion.... keep them comin'

    • @adamrafferty
      @adamrafferty  Před rokem

      Great idea. I will probably follow up on this - thank you!

    On my guitar it is imposible to create a click sound on the deep e string without stopping muting the a string. Does not work.
