Additional Training for “ABC” by The Jackson Five – Fingerstyle Guitar

What are These Videos? These are guitar lesson videos. Enjoy!

Many students and fans often ask why I play certain guitar arrangements differently in concert than the way I teach them on my Instructional DVDs.

It’s because they have developed and evolved – and still do!

These “support” videos will keep you up to date on changes & insights to these fingerstyle guitar arrangements.

In this video: Here are NEW insights and updates to the “ABC” arrangement in the DVD How to Play the Music of THE JACKSON FIVE for Fingerstyle Guitar

God Bless, and please enjoy the music! Please leave a comment below, and I hope the lessons are helpful to you!

Adam

    Which way do you prefer to play Adam?
    With the loud clicks or the quieter ones?
    Seems like heaps more work for you to have to adjust all of your tunes that have percussion for the sound guy.
    Wouldn’t some careful tweaks with a compression unit help with the boom of the loud clicks?
    By the way, thanks for all the update videos as well Adam!
    I have all of your DVDs and have practically worn them out!
    Keep rockin!
    Regards, Geoff.

    Hi Adam
    I have recently purchased your Jackson 5 instructional DVD and I am awaiting delivery. I have purchased instructional DVDs from other great guitarists but I have never received free additional instruction such as I have just received from you just now.
    I have just had to say thank you and now I am more eager to get going on your material than ever.

    Regards

    Phil Shaw

    Hey Adam, Looking forward to diggin into the J5 DVDs that I just received. May I ask what effects you use for that great sound? Am I hearing canyon reverb with a touch of delay? Suggestions?
    Thanks

      Thanks! Not sure which recording / video you are referring to – but usually I use a short reverb and a long reverb both, EQ, and compression. If you let me know which recording, I can be more specific…

      All the best!
