OMG OMG OMG OMG!! BRASIL! thank you so much for that Adam, yeah, this sounds like an amazing gift for we. I'm from Brasil and is very very important for me see our music get space in the world! Yeah, this is was awesome, I have to play that too, you are a genious! 5 billions of stars, OMG
Its not just the brazilians, adam, I'm sure the goans are just going to love this. I have just discovered you on you tube, and I am truly happy ! Vivek Monteiro
This is amazing really! Excellent arrangement, and it's just so nice to see someone play a song from our country, and with such enthusiasm! You rock! Keep it up!
GREAT job, man! This is one of the best Aquarela's tributes I've ever heard on a steel guitar. I'd love to see you playing some more brazilian bossa songs :) Congratulations from Brazil!
Stop calling!!! We have a winner!!!rs I'm Brazilian and I can tell you it's a great great version!! Amazing!! Sorry my english, but I just have to comment your video... Take care!!
This song should be available as sheet music in several Real Books....I do it in D. Actually I play a melody note wrong which I have corrected since uploading this version! :-) Best to check the score, I ddin't and should have!
Hi Adam, I had the pleasure of meeting you in Frankfurt this year on the Musikmesse and we chatted for a while, too. Didn't know that you are also playing "Aquarela Do Brasil", it's one of my favourites and your version is really cool. I also tried to master "Brasil" (in my own simple arrangement, of course) and I just sent you a video reply in case you want to listen to my approach. Maybe you will like the birds singing in the background, LOL. See you hopefully next year again in Frankfurt :)
Hi Adam, nice to see you on YT stage again. For me it was only a question of time to hear more Brazil rhythm from you - and there are some more left for you already ! Very well done ! Cheers from Lemgo/Germany Bernd
uhhm, i guess i found myself a new kind of relaxing.... Thank you crescentridge. Igor Presnyakov is my favorite, but your kind of playing is totally a beautiful way with lots of feeling, and surely the best on this videosite along with Igor. I shared your video's with my Twitter.... cause they have to know about it. Keep going on. Great thanks to you!!
thanks.. for replying... i guess I'm now declaring my mission to learn this song by ear!!!! and keep these great videos coming they are an inspiration : > )
Even if they are my versions, I need to pay publishing rights if I publish tabs. Everyone NOT doing that is violating the law. Yes, it totally sucks, but if I wrote a song and someone tabbed it, I'd want to be paid too!
Nice work keeping the bass simple, as it should be. Brazilian music is not Cuban music, after all! Great job with the arrangement... the only thing that could make it more Brazilian is nylon strings ;)
WOW!!! Dear Mr. Rafferty. Please don't get any better. You make other guitar players such as myself feel inadequate. It would be nice if you could dumb yourself down a little and manifest the rest of us with a few flaws. LOL!! Of course I'm just joking. Thanks, stay blessed and keep on striving...
+Adam Rafferty It may be just my opinion but you cannot improve what many of us may feel what is already perfection. Room for improvement? You might think so on your part. And yes, there are many ways to twist a song. An old musician friend once told me that- people only want your genius to improve their lives and not to prove what you know- which can apply to anything. In other words your audience just want to be happy. This version like many of your other selections is already moving and human. Thanks for the response and be careful out there...
OMG OMG OMG OMG!! BRASIL! thank you so much for that Adam, yeah, this sounds like an amazing gift for we. I'm from Brasil and is very very important for me see our music get space in the world! Yeah, this is was awesome, I have to play that too, you are a genious! 5 billions of stars, OMG
I'm from Brazil, and I'm very glad to see that a person like you with such great talent have taste to brazilian music. Keep going.

This is amazing really! Excellent arrangement, and it's just so nice to see someone play a song from our country, and with such enthusiasm! You rock! Keep it up!

Hi Adam What tuning do you use for this arrangement ? This is awesome version !! I love it !!
Even if they are my versions, I need to pay publishing rights if I publish tabs. Everyone NOT doing that is violating the law. Yes, it totally sucks, but if I wrote a song and someone tabbed it, I'd want to be paid too!
You dont need a license to tab this one out do you? because im a am dying to play this beauty. if so i'll be waiting!!!
Molto bravo !
How much do you practice?
great version!! 5*****
Have you a pdf....? :)
sweet playing!
-adam (from indiana, not from brazil...)
bueno amigo
smooth.
hairs on my neck stand up to applaud you for encore^ ^
cool
Nice work keeping the bass simple, as it should be. Brazilian music is not Cuban music, after all! Great job with the arrangement... the only thing that could make it more Brazilian is nylon strings ;)
belo
Aww shucks, thanks!
More props from Latam! Amazing! Do some Salsa or Latin Jazz at some point ;)

✌
I envy the fact that you have hairs. :-)

Ура! Браво кончальщик!!!!
Interesting username! I can see why you have condoms on your mind :-)
O BRASIL AGRADECE :D

WOW!!! Dear Mr. Rafferty. Please don't get any better. You make other guitar players such as myself feel inadequate. It would be nice if you could dumb yourself down a little and manifest the rest of us with a few flaws. LOL!! Of course I'm just joking. Thanks, stay blessed and keep on striving...
+1mespud Oh man, thanks. Actually I want to put up an improved version of this one :-) really!

Somehow this reminds me of the condom commercial.. or a car insurance commercial... lol
muito bom!!!
