Here’s what real life students are saying…

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

“If you are ready to take your fingerstyle playing to the next level, then Adam Rafferty’s lessons are for you.

The songs are beautifully put together, and taught in bite size pieces that enable one to progress towards learning the entire song.

Adam’s teaching style is such that it feels as if he is sitting in the room with you, walking you through the piece. I highly recommend these videos, it’s helped take my playing ability to a higher level.”

“I first came across Adam Rafferty searching for “learning guitar.”

Adam´s playing appealed to me, and yet I learned even more from his approach, philosophy and attitude towards the instrument and towards music making and performance in general.

I have been a happy amateur guitar player all my life, and yet his insights gave me better habits.

It helped my focus on what is important, and I recommend his site to all my friends.”

“I am a guitar teacher by trade. As a teacher, player, and lover of guitar music I have been influenced by Adam in tons of positive ways.

Adam’s talent extends as a teacher just as easily as his ability to create amazing music.

He is inviting, concise, and helps you build confidence as a player approaching his catalog.

If you are willing to put in the effort, he provides all the tools you need to feel successful, and he presents the information in a sincere, insightful, and fun way!”

“I have been following Adam Rafferty’s videos, DVD lessons and blogs online for several years now.

He is an exceptional performer and teacher and I have found that applying many of his techniques has improved my playing and my confidence immensely.

Though fingerstyle arrangements can be quite challenging, Adam reduces the work load by getting right to the techniques that ease the pain.

His gift is making a difficult piece sound simple and he helps me do the same.”

      Max

      Yes, MIC and DI are both plugged into the H4. I have upgraded to a ZOOM H6 – sounds better, and I do not need to do the Audacity / mono / stereo step.

      All the best

      Adam

    Hi Adam,

    I just came across this, it’s such a help. I have a Zoom Q8 video camera with XLR input. Can you explain what you mean by phantom power with the Zoom Hn? I’m assuming the Q8 provides that as well… but…

    Thank you!

    Best,
    Deborah

    Hey Adam,

    Nevermind about the phantom power! I found my answer in the specs. Thanks so much for this great video. 🙂

    Where is the sound coming from? You’re plugged into computer….do you have external speakers on computer? No guitar amplifier involved?

      No amp involved. Usually one mic and then also guitar plugged directly into the ZOOM. I get 2 signals that way, and then mix. All the best! AR
