Karl - please search "Adam Rafferty Summertime" again - I heave an updated version of this arrangement on RUclips, better recording & better practiced :-) Thank you!
My favorite version of this song is the one with Bobby Womack and the Roots off of the "Red Hot Rhapsody" project. I now have another one. Bravo, sir - Gershwin might be smiling.
You have changed the way the I play guitar and the way I listen to guitar. There is so much attention to the ways that the guitar can carry melody and the way the bass tones are actually more aligned with rhythm/drum than melody. The way you arrange pieces to keep both of these musical realities alive on one instrument is astonishing. Thanks so much for your devotion. Any chance the music for your arrangment of summertime will be available? Thanks again Adam. Ray
Great version! I loved how you let the guitar out like a wild animal on the last string and then tame it and bring it back again, love the bluesy vibe it's got going on.. slow when it matters and full of attitude when it counts..great emotion..great cover...great job! The first 2 minutes were solid!
Oh,this is sooo smooooth! It paints a musical picture of summer tranquillity... Very sensitively arranged and beautifully played! Thank you for this, Adam Clive Davies
Very Very cool arrangement and played exquisitely Adam you are a true musician and guitar lover and a great inspiration to me and countless others . May your wonderful work and music continue , Bravo !!
Awesome!! Just started playing as well and practicing everyday. Goal is to someday have at least a fraction of your mad skills on the guitar!! Thank you for your videos, definitely serves as an inspiration and wishful thinking that someday I can learn to play the guitar like you do. Kind regards~XDLP
Thank you Adam, it's so good to hear you. I wait for the tabs (I do not really, i try to find it but it takes a long time...) Will you come in france this year ?
i bet your going to surprise us even more someday... breaking into song over guitar! heh, i look forward to it. and what happened to your beatbox guitra experiments? they where really great :D
I have followed you for years, always love it. Been listening to this since you posted it 3 years ago. All of a sudden I started wondering, what are you listening to in your headphones?
That was amazing, Adam! A favorite tune of mine for a long time, but you really made it your own. What kind of guitar are you playing? I have G.A.S. (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome!).
@dominodog999 Dude... Let me know when this happens... I grew up in Joseph... My dad and I put in the cable TV system at the head of the lake in the 60's...
