Adam Rafferty - Ain't No S*unsh*ine by Bill Withers - Solo Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar

- Опубліковано 1 кві 2009
- Hi friends! Hope you dig this. I love this tune Bill Withers. It fits perfectly on guitar. Chet fans, listen close for the "Windy & Warm" quote...
This is a pretty simple arrangement, but it is an exploration of blues, atmosphere and groove. People love it when they hear it live...
I announce this one as a "special song for the ladies" :-)
I played this song on a Cole Clark Fat Lady Guitar (FL 2AC), and recorded audio on a Zoom H4.
Enjoy, and contact me anytime!!!!

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 ;)
JAW
Eyes closed and with one heel tapping the floor lightly to the beat ... neck atilt ... getting in the groove here ... phew.
Beautiful interpretation!
This man plays from the soul, sooo beautiful!!
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.
you are one soulful player man. Keep it up love your music and videos.
This guy plays with the effin' heart!!!
You bring tears to my eyes... I feel your soul... your music is SO Much more than notes... I hope your fingers are insured
Another guitar, another room, another trouser ...
But you didn't change the soul of your playing !
Thanks !
No words to say on the joy to the ear this has Thanks
This dude is amazing, pure and simple.
Martin and Tommy E are my faves, thanks for even mentioning him in the same sentence!!!
This guy is sick!!! He can play lead, rythm, beatbox and drums all at the same time!!!!Amazing...he makes it look so easy!
After hearing this arrangement I can't imagine the song being played on any other instrument. Well done!
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.
Hooooooooooly coooooow!!!
This has got to be the funkiest soulfullest version of the song, that I've ever heard!!!
AND ON AN ACOUSTIC NO LESS!!!
Simply amazing!!!
Dm
Yeah!!
This is the best youtube version!! The other guys never has so much groove and feeling like Adam!
You can hearing the love at the music!
MarioOo
Yeah! No one get more love, feeling and groove like you Adam! great work!!
A Lot of feelings can be heard in this one.... F....ng awesome!
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!!!!
that's awesome. I love Bill Withers. Live at Carnegie Hall is as good as it gets. Thanks for sharing!
ADAM!!!! you have got Cole and Clark!!!!! great sound!!
Isnt it about time you released a cd in the charts young man?!!!
the fee-style solo bit is amazing
amazing
Allways liked this tune and its wonderful to wach you jam around it........
Great, all the best
Oliver
Found you for the first time tonight............................WOW!
Seriously, I think the superstition cover is one of the best things, I have ever seen on the web................Bloody effortless!
Keep them coming.
I think your passion comes through on these more than many other talented artists - that's the difference.
AJ.
il n'y a pas de commentaire a faire cela s'ecoute tout simplement et on se laisse porter part la melodie et vous entendrer le charme d'un musicien avec son intrument
je ne peu rien dire d' autre que le mot magnifique
So much Soul....great stuff Adam!
Awesome. As someone who's just picked up a guitar, its great to watch, cos the style appeals to me a lot. Great rhythm!
What a great player!
Cole Clark Fat Lady. Thanks!!!!
You make it look so easy, very soulful, flawless performance and it "reaches" man, it really reaches. Peace :-)
Virtuosity! Great post, and the audio quality is superb for UA-cam.
I hope I can someday play like you,
I love your free style
Thank you so much 😊
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!
really fabulous
loved it especially the shout out to windy and warm. I did however think it could have kept it's delicateness and had the volume on the full project boosted a bit.
I like this piece loads. It's fantastic. played perfectly too. Well done man
it gave me chills..nice
Nice and warm sound... I like it!!
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 🤠
HOLY CRAP!!! This is absolutely amazing!!!
Everything you do AWESOME !!!! Wow. I want to play guitar like you.
simplemente maravillosa tu version
i LOVE the room!!!!!
I love this song.
Thank you!!
Yep, this was an experiment with the ZOOM H4....the tone is better on the new vids...
One word..........SICK!!
i LOVE the room!!!!!its so nice!
Fantastic performance and the amazing version of this song !
Awesome job !

Thanks for share chaz23j !
BEAUTIFUL!!!
This is Garage Band Reverb. I will likely do this tune again with better sound :-)
Too cool, too cool!
Beautiful
excellent feeling
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.
Regards from Austria
Eddie
I couldn't figure out what it is in your playing, that I like so much. This piece kinda cleared it out for me. It's got to be the timing. Great work.
.............wonderful.............
wonderful man....keep it up...a definite inspiration to all fingerstyle guitarist!!!
Great Groove !!!
Amazing!!!!
Martin
thats a sweet guitar man, sounds like a dream.
That was awesome!
Pure awesomenesssss
love your playing
From what I heard it was way awesome, but if it was louder I'd totally be blown away.
love it...fan of yours
Superb!
gorgeous !
Fantastic!!!
man u are inspiration, much respect.
Way to feel the mood :) Amazing.
love it !!!! thanks
great
@cobell007 .....jealously is a terrible thing. SWEET track Adam.
I was introduced to you yesterday when you played Kulttuuritalo here in Finland, it was a great show, loved the beatbox Chameleon. Oh and your videos are amazing :)
As inspiring as ever, Adam. Great to see this played live after hearing it on my MP3 player for the last few weeks. When are you coming over to England then?
Cheers, Neil
amazing 5 stars rated!
I heard a little windy and warm insperation in there Adam!
Badass!!
im loving the soul you give it :)
Wow, just frikkin lovely! As we would say back in the day, phat and tasty... Thanks man! :)
very complete as usual friend:)
yes, it's nice. exemplar use of silence and rhythm
fantasticoco!
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.
Mike
Props man, your really great. I dig your style, and the guitar your using hear sounds nice. Couldn't hear real well, but I think it's the room... Oh well, still loved it. Subscribed!
Beautiful style and atmosphere here Adam. This hasn´t been my favorit pieces but now it feels ok.. ;)
Cheers
Aki
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.
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.
Loving the beatboxing haha - inspirational
i'm diggin the pants, and the eerily haunting reverb. More so the pants.
Excellent!!! This is perhaps one of my favorite songs =) Very impressive skill btw, I only wish I could do half of what you can.
So much soul
Breathtaking...seriously. Now I can sleep well. : > )
(Also, I am loving seeing you enjoy the music too--groove on man)
I heard your version of Superstition on Sirius Satalite's Coffee House channel and deciced to see if you had any stuff on UA-cam. You are an amazing guitarist. Keep the good videos coming. I am sure to subscribe.
Great cover :D
nice!!
cool dude!
really good
