Adam Rafferty - How To Play The Jackson Five for Solo Fingerstyle
Adam Rafferty How To Play The Jackson Five for Solo Fingerstyle. In this DVD guitar lesson, Adam Rafferty will show you the fingerings, the moves, the grooves, the concepts, and the "secrets" you'll need to know to play these well loved songs of the Jackson 5 on solo guitar. You'll learn how to easily combine a melody, baseline, and inner voices - yes you'll play 3 parts all at the same time - while keeping the groove so "tight" that your audiences fingers will snap and toes will tap as YOU play the guitar! No music reading required, all tablature is included with the printed material.
After the introduction, each song is shown as a complete performance followed by an instruction segment lasting about 25 minutes. You could basically consider the package as a series of four in-depth half-hour lessons that you can review at your leisure. Quite a value when you think of it that way!
The attention to detail given to the right- and left-hand fingerings here is something rarely seen outside of classical circles. Adam takes his time explaining each arrangement and gives specific demonstrations that compliment the written music perfectly. He has clearly put a lot of time into not only the arrangements themselves, but the way in which he chooses to execute and teach them. It's meticulous but never tedious. Adam's skills as a performer and arranger have obviously developed since the last video too. The songs in the Jackson Five video are funkier and a bit more technically advanced than the Stevie Wonder portfolio and the collection seems to have a few common elements that are evident throughout. Luscious chords and deep grooves abound. Percussive slaps and funky muted lines are used liberally as well as cool percussion breakdown in "ABC" which will definitely turn some heads.
Any fingerstyle guitarist willing to spend time practicing will surely be rewarded with some uplifting new repertoire and gain some new insights as well.
