    Greetings Friends!
    Here's another upbeat Jackson 5 song, one of their all time greatest hits, "ABC". The more I listen to them and Michael Jackson, I am awed by the great music.
    I love this tune and man, it is a challenge to keep the different parts going!
    Enjoy!

    Great, everytime I look at my subscription list on my youtube homepage, it's always Adam Rafferty with a new release. I was expecting a song every few months and such. Now how am I suppose to find time to enjoy and completely appreciate these masterpieces in my lifetime? XD

    You are a great inspiration. You manage to do things on an acoustic guitar I never would have thought possible. Thank you for putting so much into the art.

    @adamrafferty  14 років тому

    Good question. I decided a week ago to do it, but I spent 3 days not eating, letting my beard grow and not showering doing NOTHING except playing it and listening to the original, so I put extreme focus on it. All the experience of the other MJ and Stevie tunes made it go faster. Thank you!

    Awesome job on that, man.
    Everyone tends to emphasize the vocals over the "groove" of the song, and you nailed the groove dead on!

    The thought of an acoustic ABC once made me sick and greatly disturbed me, but you represent extremely well. I think the late great Michael would be proud. I tip my hat to you good sir

    @bigdood 14 років тому

    Back from Germany, and rockin' the Tube with more great stuff... Raff, this is some hot arranging and fantastic fingerpickin! Hopefully you are sending the links to these new vids to Gina M... so your "friend" will have something new to steal... :-) Once again, you are proving to the world what I have said all along -- anyone who can play like this after 3 years of changing styles deserves to be called "one of the two best fingerstyle guitarists on Earth". Peace and goodwill from Western KY!

  • @adamrafferty
    @adamrafferty  14 років тому

    Curts, I'll think about it. I'm more into looking ahead to new material than dwelling on the old...hopefully live vids will creep up. In terms of what most people will hear, the groove is the same. Basically I filled out the bass and melody with more chords to fatten it up. I'll make sure you hear vesrion 2.0 somehow!!! :-)

    Actually, I like the music because like Bach & Stevie Wonder there are several voices, a moving bassline - and harmonic integrity, plus groove. Thank you!
