Hey Gang!
I couldn't resist this one!
And in case you're thinking..."Adam just did an obvious cover song!"
Every Breath You Take - for fingesrtyle guitar!!!
Well, the story goes deeper than that. This song is actually very important to me...
When this song came out (was it 1983? - that would mean I was 14 years old) I heard it the first time and was absolutely mesmerized.
In fact, I loved it so much that I sat by my AM radio in the kitchen waiting for the radio station to play it a second time.
Yes, there was no RUclips at that time, and the album was not yet available. So - to hear it again, I had to sit & wait by the radio, for real.
Fast forward to 2019...a few nights ago I saw Sting LIVE and he closed the show with this. It was amazing.
I'd always thought this one would be impossible for solo guitar, but magically, the "solution" to playing the melody and accompaniment popped into my mind the following morning after the Sting concert.
The good old subconscious mind must have been at work while I slept!
Enjoy!
Adam

This Was An Amazing Cover! #FingerLickingGood
Great job Adam! This is a beautiful arrangement.
Beautiful performance
Gorgeus
I really dig all the textures with the right hand, Sting would be jealous.
Total respect, Sir! Effortless and fluent, you make it flow like water.
Maybe he makes it LOOK effortless...
That’s what it’s all about :)
Amazing playing Adam!
I love your picking style very classical. Tone is unbelievable
Thank you so much! I've always been inspired by classical techniques and it's great to know that it resonates with you. The right tone can truly bring a piece to life. Keep enjoying the music! 🎸🎶😊
The way you make the melody sing out without sacrificing groove is always satisfying.
John Horne that’s what made this one a fingering project! Thanks John...

You've always been one of the most talented yet humble guitarists to me, Adam!

Thanks for the great music, and the great story behind it too! :)
Don't forget, radio-guys rock ;)
