Download the “Black Orpheus” Jazz Solo Guitar Tabs – FREE

If you are curious about how I play real-life jazz “lines,” now you can take an over the shoulder peek at my improvised solo, as seen in the “Black Orpheus” YouTube Video…

As you study and play this, you’ll start to have musical “AHA” moments!
You’ll begin to see how jazz lines work and why they sound good. Soon, you’ll start to see that you too can play rich, harmonic melodies of your own…

Here’s what real life students are saying…

(And hey…I’d love to feature you here as well!)

“My fingerpicking and timing on every song/style I play has increased dramatically solely because of Adam’s instructions and technique taught.

I went from playing “so so” for years to a whole new level.

Thank you, Adam for helping me – via a digital format – become not only a big fan, but, a far better and more polished guitar player.”

“First of all, Adam is a great teacher! He’s always encouraging and makes you feel like you can really learn and play these songs.

He gives you all the tools needed right on his instructional videos.

He is one of the blessed and gifted teachers who gives generously of his time and talent in these great videos. Now it’s just a matter of hard work to really get them down as many already have.

Thank you Adam, for making these great videos to teach all of us who really love music!!!Many blessing to you!!! Sincerely, Jeff”

“After many years of playing guitar, I found myself in a creative funk and finally decided that lessons of some kind were badly needed.

In my dealings with Adam, I’ve also found a valuable bonus in tips and observations ranging from taking care of our hands, minds and instruments.

I am very pleased and thankful to have found such a valuable wing-man as Adam Rafferty to set me back on the path!”

“Learning those pieces of music has really made me become a fan. From the start, I realized that Adam’s teaching had started a beautiful process in me, I only wanted to play his arrangements.

His Funky Finger Stuff has highly infected my soul and I’m just loving it. It’s a great joy to study and play this style.

I would like to thank Adam for all the beautiful work he has done so far and it is my deepest wish that he will continue, and come out with much more of it (as soon as possible!) Sincerely, Raoul”
