I am a guitar player born and raised in New York City, and currently spending most of my time on the road playing concerts and doing workshops.</p> 614<p><strong>Playing music for people is my #1 passion.</strong> </p> 615<p>I also equally love teaching music to anyone who is dedicated. </p> 616<p>I love helping people achieve “aha” moments. Sometimes these insights “bleed” into a personal development – flavor!</p> 617<p><strong>Teaching music and life is my #2 passion.</strong></p> 618<p>This website is dedictaed to both of these passions.</p> 619<p>As a 6 year old kid I started with Woody Mann as my teacher and learned little fingerpicking blues tabs from Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Blake and others.</p> 620<p>Like many guitar players I went through the phases of rock, classical and then got deep into jazz.</p> 621<p><strong><em>B.F. – Before fingerstyle…</em></strong></p> 622<p>I played jazz guitar for many years in NYC, and got to play with some jazz greats along the way like Mike Longo (pianist for Dizzy Gillespie and my mentor), Alvin Queen (Drums for Oscar Peterson & Horace Silver), Dr. Lonnie Smith (B3 organ with George Benson), Buster Williams, Bob Cranshaw, Tal Farlow….the list goes on!</p> 623<p><strong><em>A.F. – After fingerstyle…</em></strong></p> 624<p>In 2006 I got way deep into fingerstyle guitar after hearing the one and only Tommy Emmanuel. </p> 625<p>Since then – life has changed. I have toured worldwide (Bangkok, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria, Scotland, Bermuda, Singapore, Malaysia, Czech Republic), released several fingerstyle instruction DVDS (teaching Stevie Wonder, Jackson Five and Jazz Guitar), and amassed over 10 million YouTube views.</p> 626<p><strong>I hope that YOU learn some great fingerstyle guitar stuff here and enjoy the site!</strong></p> 627<p>Poke around the website. There’s free lessons here, tabs, videos (intermediate level) so you can really play some great solo guitar pieces (with practice of course!).</p> 628<p>With Warmest Regards,</p> 629<p><img decoding="async" src="/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/adam_signature_1.png" alt="Adam" width="155" height="84" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3104" /></p> 630<p>Adam</p> 631<!-- Kit append_form_to_content(): Kit Form ID 0 does not exist on Kit.

As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.â </p> 722<p>I have been listening to your clips over the last month. Fantastic! You have a strong soulful connection that resonates with the human spirit. I just discovered your blog and find your perceptions fascinating -they connect with many of my own. </p> 723<p>Best wishes on your journey.

There is no such law. I would propose that you got to be where you are because of work, determination, immersion, opportunity, rather than magic.

I think young guitarists reading this site need to see that it takes perseverance, character, patience, work, to play as well as you do. And even then, there are no guarantees.</p> 994<p>You are a fantastic musician. I am willing to bet that you worked very hard for it.

Every effect pre – supposes a cause…and yes there is hard work. But if all you rely on is your concious mind, sometimes that’s not enough.</p> 1015<p>Sometimes “loving” something – like a song for exampl, can bring you closer to playing it, more quickly than what we think of as work.</p> 1016<p>If you are thinking about buying a volkswagen – what do you see on the highway…volkswagens! Do you know why that is? Your “reticular activation system” weeds out the bits of information that are relevant to you.</p> 1017<p>Better put – when you want something, there is a “cognitive dissonance”….your mind says you have it, but your outer world shows you don’t – for now. The subconcious mind can work 24 /7 on getting you what you want.</p> 1018<p>For me, it’s been a new life of recording, performing with Tommy Emmanuel, and re-inventing my playing from the ground up…all due to one thing…vision.</p> 1019<p>So don’t get turned off by the LOA words. Maybe people are slinging it around a lot these days. The “work” of which you speak has to serve the vision, imagination and invention which is first sparked in the minds eye.</p> 1020 </div> 1021 1022 <div class="comment-reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-19" data-commentid="19" data-postid="6" data-belowelement="article-comment-19" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to adamrafferty" aria-label="Reply to adamrafferty">Reply</a></div> 1023 1024 </article> 1025 <ul class="children"> 1026 1027 <li class="comment odd alt depth-3" id="comment-22"> 1028 <article id="article-comment-22"> 1029 1030 1031 <header class="comment-header"> 1032 <p class="comment-author"> 1033 <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e509ae40169d88d4277def7c0f8e18d1f2ca1ad6c69c9096c777f2a9694737df?s=48&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e509ae40169d88d4277def7c0f8e18d1f2ca1ad6c69c9096c777f2a9694737df?s=96&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-48 photo' height='48' width='48' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/><span class="comment-author-name">jackinthebox</span> <span class="says">says</span> </p> 1034 1035 <p class="comment-meta"><time class="comment-time"><a class="comment-time-link" href="https://www.adamrafferty.com/about/#comment-22">November 9, 2011 at 6:22 pm</a></time></p> </header> 1036 1037 <div class="comment-content"> 1038 1039 <p>What you speak of, passion, cognitive dissonance, these are mainstream concepts that most anyone can relate to. And I am saying that it takes more than your conscious mind….it takes action.</p> 1040<p>Cognitive dissonance can work both ways too. It may be the reason that I find something to criticize about you in lieu of the fact that I cannot play like you ;).</p> 1041<p>Which leads to what I wonder about sometimes. Everyone experiences passion. It is a rare individual that is able to singularly focus on that passion to a high level of achievement. I wonder what makes that person able to focus so well, while others may have the passion but get distracted and bogged down in other things which is most of us.

If we think one positive thought, others that are like that thought will come and offer themselves to us. Isn’t it more like a tuning into a certain frequency, a tuning into a tune/melody/song/note that brings you and your desire to fulfillment on a wave, you just need to find the wave and stay on it long enough. Meaning that we all have a destiny and once we find it, passion will ensure that we stay focused and motivated and also the vision that just doesn’t go away because nothing else will ever make you happy.<br /> 1113Isn’t that the secret of a successful person, they are so single minded and convinced that nothing else will make them happy, they just have to keep doing what their passion is. On the other hand, many people try many different things throughout their lives and that may make it difficult to achieve something in one field, but maybe that is not their focus then. Maybe the focus is more on, Hey I do what I feel right now is my most exiting activity to do, and whenever I feel I am not getting the excitement out of that activity, I will simply stop and do something else.<br /> 1114Who governs when the excitement and passion leaves and attaches itself to something else? Who knows..maybe God does. I like your style, Adam! I am a singer songwriter myself and I really admire you and what you do! I am learning and being inspired by you! Thanks, you are a beacon of light and inspiration!</p> 1115 </div> 1116 1117 <div class="comment-reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-23" data-commentid="23" data-postid="6" data-belowelement="article-comment-23" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Katharina L.
