    Total blues ambience and groove found. I appreciate the subtleties in there in execution, ringing a note, muting a note, plucking soft, plucking hard, with such detail, crossing between the sounds and tones so passionately, and so accurately...okay, that's enough, you don't need any more ;)

    What a joy it must be just to be able to entertain yourself with such masterful playing ability.

    Dear Adam,
    I should think that greats like Bill Withers and Stevie Wonder would be extremely touched by your brilliant arrangements of their work. You are clearly showing great love for other composers by taking the time, energy & hard work to play their tunes in such an impressive way.

    Thanks! The sound on this video and "Little Fingers" was an experiment - the ZOOM H4 built in mics. You'll hear the other vids sound better with real condensers! Thank you.

    After hearing this arrangement I can't imagine the song being played on any other instrument. Well done!

  • @adamrafferty
    @adamrafferty  15 лет назад

    THanks. This one & little fingers were a new experiment in the sound & recording technique. Basically I used a zoom H4 but the mics were not meaty enough...check out the new America vid and you'll hear better sound. Yes the verb HF is a bit high. Thanks for commenting and listening!!!!

  • @adamrafferty
    @adamrafferty  16 лет назад

    Thanks. Yep, shoulda put some jeans on...I was testing the sound & lighting out and liked the take so I kept it....hahaha! All the best & thank you!

    This is Garage Band Reverb. I will likely do this tune again with better sound :-)

  • @adamrafferty

    je ne peu rien dire d' autre que le mot magnifique

  • @adamrafferty
    @adamrafferty  15 лет назад

    It's actually the CRAP built in mics of the zoom h4. I will re do this tune with better sound - check the other vidfs, you'll hear the difference.

  • @adamrafferty
    @adamrafferty  15 лет назад

    Mike thanks! Actually I don't dig the sound on this one as much as the new ones- "I Want you Back" and "I Can't make you love me". You'll be able to hear the cole clark tone better on those. If you play it next to another spruce top, it may not sound as loud - but they do sound pretty good. The gem is the electronics - best I have heard plugged in. Get the cutaway bro!!!

    Hi Adam!
    I'm really blown away. Firstly about the rhythm and timbre of your music, secondly about your new guitar. I also owned a TAYLOR 314 and know about it's quality, but this COLE CLARK seems to be way above in musical projection and also fits your needs perfectly.
    The guitar would be worth being played totally unplugged by you - no reverb, no equalization - perhaps you could do one of the greatest love songs of all time, MAYBE I'M AMAZED by PAUL McCARTNEY.

    Wow Adam, stumbled upon this. Recording quality aside, I like this honestly a bit more than your ‘recent’ version in SWA. Then again, it just shows how great this song is for impro. You’re the master of groove in fingerstyle, I’ll tell you that. Adam 13 years ago also had it 🤠

    Adam this is spectacular! You've got so much feel man. I'm loving the Cole Clark. Actually I'm considering making it my first solid wood guitar. Looking at the Cole Clark FL1A or FL1AC. But anyways I just wanted to let you know that this is my favourite rendition by you. You're extraordinarily talented. Good work.

  • @FunkyLebaFin
    @FunkyLebaFin 15 лет назад

    First of all, every single you've posted on youtube is nothing short of first class!!
    Regarding this video, well, the audio actually, don't know if that reverb is naturally coming from the room you are in(i doubt it slightly), and neither do i know if the effect is intentional, but maybe a roll of the verb HF would have given this a bit more presence and clarity!
    Otherwise as i said, first class to the very last note!
    All the best.

    Take Care!
