Ask Adam Rafferty

I look forward to your questions!

There are 3 Ways to ask me a question – here is the order that I prefer, but all are ok!
You do not need to create any new online accounts for any of these.

To book Adam for a concert, masterclass or speaking please use the contact form here.

Option 1 (New) - Send Me a Free Online Voicemail

Here you can send me guitar questions via free online voicemail! Pretty cool. 🙂

I intend to use your recorded questions for a podcast – so that other guitarists may also benefit. I’ll play you asking the question, then answer.

The podcast will probably be called “Fingerstyle Guitar Hangout with Adam Rafferty.”

Speak Slowly and Clearly and please include:

  • your name
  • where you live (city, state, country)
  • how long you have played guitar, are you a hobby player, semi pro or pro?
  • (optional) if so, how long you have been a member of StudyWithAdam.com
  • your website address if you would like some “on-air” promotion
  • Please ask ONE guitar related question, be as specific as you can. Try not to ramble, your voice may be on the podcast.

You may submit as many questions as you want, just make sure each question follows the format shown. I.E. Don’t ask 5 questions in one voicemail.

Sample Voicemail:
“Hi Adam, this is Mike Smith from Peoria Illinois.
My website is MikeSmith.com.
I’ve been a member of Study With Adam for 9 months and have playing guitar for 25 years semi professionally.

Here’s my question…(state question)

Thanks Adam, I am looking forward to your answer.”

Please – do not ask for tabs to tunes here, for available tabs / lessons check out this list or try the Study With Adam 14 free day trial – where there are many step by step tutorials.


Option 2 (I love this one) - Quora

Some of you may like this, but if it is a hassle you can use option 1.

I love Quora, it’s a very cool Q & A site.

https://www.quora.com/Adam-Rafferty

It does require that you sign in with your Google, Facebook or Twitter, but don’t worry…
you don’t need to create a new account.

Please try this one – it’s the best for Q & A on many topics. You’ll love it.


Option 3 (Least Good) - Email

Of course you can email me, but…

Not as good, because no one else sees the question & answer.

You can always email me to say hi, but I & others benefit from reading your Q & A on the web!

If it’s an utterly personal matter you can always use email, but…

Please give Option 1 or 2 a TRY before resorting to email!

It may push you out of your comfort zone…don’t be scared 🙂

To email me you can use the Contact Form HERE.
