However, watching the video would provide you with a detailed look at how great solo arrangements are structured, something that many videos do not fully explore and which may be just as valuable as actually mastering the mechanics of the pieces. Best of luck in your guitar playing! John Frank,

I love that way of playing finger style guitar. I have been toying with the idea of ordering the DVD, but feel since I do not know how to play finger style guitar that it would be too difficult. I have only played with a pick for many years. I am just not sure. I realize in my age group (early 60s) it would be slow and I am sure very rewarding since that is how I want to play. I guess I just need some encouragement. I have a finger style lesson book and will probably start with that just to get the basics down and then buy the DVD. Adam is amazing and I like all of his arrangements on the DVD. From what it sounds like, the DVD is a very good instructional method on how to learn each song as well as how to apply the method to learning other songs as one progresses. I hope I follow through with my desires and not let road blocks of any type get in the way. I do not want to miss out on the opportunity.

I was very impressed by how clearly and easily understandable he makes these difficult pieces seem. I've been rockin Superstition like it's my job, and it impressees a lot of people. Which in turn leads to the conversation of where I learned that piece, which then turns to going on youtube, which then turns to a few more Adam Rafferty fans up here in Canada. All I have to say is thanks. I bought Adam’s DVD this past fall. I was very impressed by how clearly and easily understandable he makes these difficult pieces seem.
