Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar ping!
Adam Rafferty playing “Summertime” by George Gershwin. Enjoy!
Umh! Smooth...Very nice!
Thanks much for the ping; Very well executed.
Now for my humble opinion (please take no offense!).
Adam is a very good technician, but the effort to sell every note is over the top for me. It just seems artificial. Steve Vai (yeah, I know not fingerpicking, but complete mastery of the instrument) successfully communicates the emotion of each note.
Tommy Emmanuelle is so engaged his emotions come through. He’s the real deal. He has originated his technique on his own, very personal, and you can see it in the performance. He is a master.
This opinion is about performance, not execution. There are many technicians with amazing chops who never reach greatness (but are worth seeing!).
That was awesome playing. .... albeit I would rather listen than watch . His “theater” is to much, needs to tone it down. Look like a dog was chewing on his leg off camera.
