[damookie]

[guitarquejamais]

magnifique !

[Flamencoblues]

Absolutely brilliant! I love it!

[Bojazzki]

Whenever I need to hear someone getting some real GROOVE on with an acoustic, I look up one of your vids.

[musicislandFI]

fantastica !!!! bravissimo!!

[droldoiseau]

Thank you Adam, it's so good to hear you.

I wait for the tabs (I do not really, i try to find it but it takes a long time...)

Will you come in france this year ?

[zoomer51]

great !!

[anmeinersaite]

Your guitar sings, perfect in time & in flow

great!!!

[jose044]

how does changing chanell makes you free from copyright issues?

[dominodog999]

Please! come to Wallowa County and play... the scenery here is as beautiful as your playing. I'll show you deer, elk, black bear, steelhead, Hells Canyon/ Eagle Cap Wilderness, and our "jewel" Wallowa Lake. There is a "Booze & Blues" / concert every summer, and you would be the "Shining STAR"

[crescentridge]

@dominodog999 I'd love to come for a gig. Can you contact me personally and let's get it together!!

[bristolsteve69]

astonishing

[bundi89]

stunning performance, great arrangement!!

[Jman2000x]

what I don't get is the 5 dislikes that are on this song...

[bluesgurugod]

@Jman2000x you should really think hard on it. In fact I think you should devote your life to finding out the answer to this question. It's of the most importance that everyone likes the something that you do and when that fails the transpire it will disrupt the equilibrium within your mind and, possibly, cause you to doubt your own existence. This is a very dangerous possibility and should be rectified promptly... lest you develop an insecurity complex and start to display it publicly...

[Jman2000x]

@bluesgurugod chill. I just liked the song, didn't mean to question the physics of humanity. I know that the more a piece of art gets viewed the more it will acquire both criticism and compliment.

what I meant to imply via my previous comment was simply my incredulity that anyone could not appreciate the prowess of the musician. It was an opinion, not a personal philosophy.

as for my mental state, I'm quite sure that has absolutely nothing to do with you, so kindly do not comment on it again.

[6468792]

hard to do something new with old chestnuts, but i think you did it! nice arrangement.

[Lutherro]

whoaa amazing!

[DRenee702]

Your tone is amazing! Love it. 

[ktheclown]

[spoiledrottenonlykid]

this one makes me want to learn thumbpicking for sure! great sound.

[jrsygrl142]

[chrisdelapena1123]

Awesome!! Just started playing as well and practicing everyday. Goal is to someday have at least a fraction of your mad skills on the guitar!! Thank you for your videos, definitely serves as an inspiration and wishful thinking that someday I can learn to play the guitar like you do. Kind regards~XDLP

[sgwinn1]

That was amazing, Adam! A favorite tune of mine for a long time, but you really made it your own. What kind of guitar are you playing? I have G.A.S. (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome!).

[MrCoroton]

stupendo fantastic player **********

[Jazzguts]

Fantastic, a concept of total guitar, great bass pattern, harmonics, yes I gues your philosophy is letting the guitar sound like a Mini-Orchestra and that's what it is my friend,and you're a marvelous conductor, X'mas greetings Victor. (visit my channel when you have time,you might like some of my stuff).

[crescentridge]

thanks!!!!!

[carvetop01]

Brilliant!

Cheers,

allen

[archtopbrownie]

I second that emotion!!

[ddanze]

you arrange for guitar to get max sound; the phrasing and timing add alot too

[muskete]

Summertime is like chess - easy to learn, difficult to master.

Great rendition, thanks for sharing, Adam!

Adam, you have such a unique and a very smooth touch on the guitar. I love this!

[credit888]

You put so much "feeling" into your music - great job!

[ToqueNW]

What a nice surprise to see this show up on my subscription updates! This has always been one of my favorite standards and--as you always do--you do an awesome job with it. Thanks!

[gtrrobster]

excellent as always bro!

I did not know you can play slow :)

[michteh]

Great version! I loved how you let the guitar out like a wild animal on the last string and then tame it and bring it back again, love the bluesy vibe it's got going on.. slow when it matters and full of attitude when it counts..great emotion..great cover...great job! The first 2 minutes were solid!

[keycoplentay]

My favorite version of this song is the one with Bobby Womack and the Roots off of the "Red Hot Rhapsody" project. I now have another one. Bravo, sir - Gershwin might be smiling.

[Metallophilic]
