Hey Gang,
The spirit moved me, and suddenly I found myself playing this one...
My apologies for the messy studio, I was in a hurry to get this recorded :-)
"Killing Me Softly" - originally composed by Charles Fox & Norman Gimbel.
Roberta Flack had a hit with this in 1973, and then did the Fugees in 1996.
I like the Roberta Flack version better :-)
Enjoy!
Adam

Dude, I just watched every arrangement of this on you tube. Yours takes 1st prize. Bravo, dude.
Please check alip ba ta arrangement
Somewhere in cyberspace there are 45 very miserable and pitiable souls who don't understand or appreciate your genius. You are simply amazing and a class act.
Oh Craig, thank you for the compliment. I'll pray for those 45 souls :-)
I try to turn people on to your videos whenever possible. I watch you do what you do but still can't quite figure it out except maybe it's the result of a quadrillion hours of practice (or you're an android). Be blessed today Adam.
Music is like medicine to my soul..your melodious songs on guitar helped me pass through painful times in my life with heavenly joy
WOW, thank you!
Best guitar faces of all time?
i'm listening with my IEM, and unfortunate i also can hear him tutting out the metronomic beat very quietly too lol
...and that's about it... Naudo Rodriguez OWNS the best guitar arrangement on this song... no disrespect intended... albeit, its good, the song does comes across... but the level of difficulty remains... well... compared to Naudo... at the "keep trying... you getting there..." level...
I just share another happiness

@@alexmolina9708 this version is better than Naudos by far
Великолепная аранжировка и игра, как всегда ожидания подтвердились. Браво.
One of the all-time greatest songs performed by one of the greatest singers and replicated by a fabulous guitarist!!
So beautiful and soothing to the ears. You emphasize each note with elegance and clarity. You are the first guitar player I’ve seen perform with feelings. Well done.
Perfectly played and sounds beautiful as always! Have been your fan for many years now. Love your guitar playing!
When guitar sounds towards human voice it is perfect. This guitar has all the features for that. It's sound is really inspiring and playing of course.
Adam that was fantastic. I have played fingerstyle for 40+ years and that song is one of my fav's. No other version has moved me like yours. Keep up the good work.
picker63028 Thank you so much!!!
Wow - that's really good. Just phenomenal. Great arrangement, no wasted notes there, and the tones that guitar (player) produces - gorgeous.
Wow, thank you!
Adam, this is the most beautiful guitar sound I've ever heard, congrat! And you also play this song beautifully, just perfect, thx a lot for the nice experience you gave to us!
I absolutely love the way your face shows how much you adore the sound

Simply fantastic, I'm overwhelmed. THANK YOU!
Man, I get chills every time I listen to you play, and this is one of your best. So smooth and fluid - but technically and harmonically complex at the same time. You make it look effortless as well. I seriously wish I could give more than one thumbs up. BRAVO!
Enjoy watching you. The sound doesn't seem like it's coming from just one guitar. Really amazing. Thanks for posting.
A beautiful song.....beautifully played.....captured the essence of it.....thank you....
Love this song. Beautifuly played.
There is always air in your style where the voids make the parts you play so smooth, cool, unpredictable and just pleasant to listen to.
