@livinlife245 Actually whenever I hear the originals, I get re-inspired....there's always so much I miss in the arrangements compared to the original....thank you!
Can't help but do the head-bob while listening -- groove-tastic! Middle with harmonics, waterfall notes and open-sounding chords is great... opening and ending are both classic, really love the beat-box as well. Thanks as always Adam!
Awesome job! I liked the last bit of the video - it was hilarious. Watching videos of more experienced players is an incentive for me to keep practicing.
Just wanted to let you know that you are awesome. My dad saw you live and showed my the Billie jean vid. 17 years old and i appreciate your true musiciainship. Just Awesome
Awesome job! I liked the last bit of the video - it was hilarious. Watching videos of more experienced players is an incentive for me to keep practicing. What kind of guitar is that by the way?
@dunco278 Thanks for asking. I would love to, but the publishers have blocked the project! Really a pity. In any case - there will be a Stevie Wonder Vol II DVD coming in 2012 with: Isn't She Lovely, Higher Ground, You Are the Sunshine of my Life, and Cherie Amour. All the best!
Hilarious intro faces! How very Vincent. Lovely chord arpegios during the intro too. nice RH rolling there, Vincent. The whe whole arr. sounds awesome...very light yet very tight.
@KalifUmestoKalifa Acoustic only - just teh 2 mics. But I have been working a lot on teh tone produced by my fingers. Recorded into a ZOOM H$ - mixed in Garage Band. Thank You!!!
I'm a super fan of Mj myself and it's always exciting to see what you do with all the songs, in your own unique way!! I thought many of his songs would be impossible to do on the guitar but you prooved me wrong :D You have this amazing ear that captures the detailes... Continue to be great Adam
Good work my man! I'm still trying to play along with my old Marcel Marceau records and you're pulling off stuff like that. Love your percussive technique and use of harmonics. Beautiful and fun!
@crescentridge I've seen those. You're incredible, wish I could play like you. How long have you been playing and how many hours did you put in a day when you started?
Another amazing Rafferty rant. In addition to the usual great playing, the scratchy intro and spooky outro had me cracking up. There are definitely demons in dat guitar of yours...
@crescentridge Stefano Mirando does (kinda) that I think. I personally like to utilize the (nice low) open bass strings (with capo maybe) something like 3 0 3 0 0 *slap* ( G A C D A ) for the base line. Makes the melody end up in G Am C etc chords. Trying to tab my own arrangment now, inspired by you and pearson. But for me the left hand just didnt go along, so I took to the open strings, haha :)
Awesome job once again brother! I love all your MJ covers.. they are exactly what i am looking for. I am assuming this one is in Standard as well? Thanks Adam!
just incredible!!!! i hope you didnt spoil yourself though, you must have listened to the song a thousand times while arranging it, hope you can still stand to hear it ;)
Is this just acoustic guitar or is it amplified? If not, you have a wicked good recording device. BTW, Excellent job, with arrangement and playing, as usual and thanks for sharing with us.
hahahahahah!wow! it's awesome!! it is the only one thing today that made me smile!very very cool arrangement! and absolutely love your perfect and funny performing!! Thank you Adam!

Marvelous, awesome, great guitar player.
Can't help but do the head-bob while listening -- groove-tastic! Middle with harmonics, waterfall notes and open-sounding chords is great... opening and ending are both classic, really love the beat-box as well. Thanks as always Adam!
@wintersnowman I am planning on both of those - stay tuned!
Awesome job! I liked the last bit of the video - it was hilarious. Watching videos of more experienced players is an incentive for me to keep practicing.
